Brilliant piece of kit, don't be fooled by the size. Packs a mighty punch with great battery life. I had the Go3 which was already a great piece of kit but this upgrade together with the app and the option to customize for your surroundings is a brilliant addition. Great when you don't have much space or don't want a big speaker using up space. Packs the punch of a far bigger speaker. Great for use in kitchen, gardens, walking, at the park, pool tennis courts or even on the bike it's so portable and durable. 10/10

Has great sound. Slightly improved from the Go4. The lighting wish was RGB but it’s been a great speaker

Got this as a surprise for my sister. She loved it and it’s in her favorite color. And I got myself one. These are great little Bluetooth speakers with a phenomenal sound and capability.

Amazing sound for a carry on speaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL Go 5, I own many JBL speakers. Including the large ones, this JBL Go 5 is a small easy to carry.
Sound is very good, outside and inside, connected easily to my Pixel phone and JBL android app to manage the speaker is easy to set up.
For the one who likes lights in the speaker, u can set different lights from the app...
Bluetooth connection and you can also connect another same speaker as a group (I did not try it)
Charging it is a USB-C cable same as Android pixel phone, speaker came with no cable.
This is not a Google smart speaker as there is no wifi so you cannot ask it to play.

This JBL portable speaker is loud, portable, durab

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve loved using the JBl Go 5, it gets pretty loud for its portable size, very easy to carry and control. I’ve taken it to picnics as well as hikes, it’s fairly easy to setup and navigate. The best feature for me would be the fact that you can link multiple JBL Auracast enabled speakers together which makes the whole experience fun and immersive. Cheers to yet another great JBL product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Go 5 is easy to set up, connects in seconds! Looks great and is small in aspect but big in sound clarity! Bass levels not as good as with larger JBL products but still sounds fantastic!!! Great for personal listening!
