JBL has updated it’s mid sized Bluetooth speaker with the company’s latest design and capabilities with a booming sound at an affordable price.

The JBL Charge 5 is IPX67 waterproof and dustpoof meaning it can be used anywhere you want music, while also connecting to up to two devices at a time.
Tuned with JBL Pro Sound the quality is first class, we’ve never come across a JBL speaker that didn’t impress at every volume.

While it might seem simple, the look is improved, with a big-bold new sized JBL logo on front, and a rubberised base.
The JBL Charge 5 is also available in a range of colours. Oh and if you want more sound, you can link two JBL PartyBoost compatible speakers together for a stereo sound, or multiple more speakers to really ramp up your party sound.

All that, plus a 20 hour playtime from the battery – that’s huge! If you don’t need all that power for your music, plug your smartphone in for a full charged.
RRP is $229.95, we’ve already seen it at $199 at JB HiFi
