True portable party speaker!
on May 19, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Extreme 5 is an awesomely loud speaker! The straps make it super easy to carry around, and it performed amazingly during a bay boat ride; the audio was clear and the bass deep even with the wind and water. The speaker connected easily to a JBL microphone, this is a true portable party speaker. The bass is deep, the midst are crystal clear and overall the speaker delivers excellent sound with a great battery life. Definitely recommend!

All the most fun JBL features in one mega tube

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As always, crisp and clear JBL signature sound at all volume levels. This Extreme gets too loud to play at max levels indoors, and outside can be heard clearly from 75 feet away. It looks and is shaped like the Charge series speakers, only 4x larger and 5x louder, and also has the charging feature. This speaker adds a fully controllable light show with many different patterns and colors to select from, sort of like two moving lines of the Pulse light show speaker added on to it.
The light show and the equalizer are controlled by the “JBL Portable” app that offers 4 preset EQ’s and a fully customizable equalizer. So flexible! The light show has preset patterns and an infinite color wheel for your color of choice, and can be turned off completely.
Bluetooth v6 connects instantly to my phone, and remains stable all throughout my house without skipping or dropping. Setup is easy and charging is quick with the included 20v/4a USB-C charger. The strap that comes with it is a little clunky but there are many aftermarket handles out there or you could get crafty and easily create your own. Battery life is crazy long, 24 hours at low volume but the app has a “playtime boost” feature that seems to sacrifice some sound quality for an extra 4 hours playtime for a possible 28 hours of music.
This one connects to other speakers through AuraCast, kind of annoying that some of my older JBL’s won’t connect but hopefully firmware updates will solve this.
Get this speaker, it’s the all-in-one banger for big beautiful sound!!
