JBL Charge 5 vs JBL Live 500BT

I have always been a big bass fan myself so it's nice to see that a smaller speaker can have a little bit of bass packed into it. Now of course I have...

Volume levels are plenty for my taste. You can have enough bass and volume to make your eyes vibrate and your ears ring. I can't relate to the people who state these have no volume in their reviews. Perhaps it's a difference in the source we're listening from

The JBL Live 500BT wireless headphones support Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice control and deliver powerful, bass-forward audio.

I've had the Sony XB30s for 4 years, and they remember their stereo state once connected, unfortunately they have tons of connectivity reset issues and were terrible to work with. The only deal breaker for me on these units is lack of access to stereo mode. I am hoping a firmware update can resolve the issue of it remembering to stay in stereo mode once it powers off. Otherwise, they are great portible speakers and the addition of the tweeters give them extra clarity in the stereo field mode, in single speaker mode, I dont really find the tweeter frequencies as useful

The JBL Live 500BT are fairly versatile headphones that have a decent sound profile. These headphones are quite similar to the JBL E55BT, which seem to be the previous lineup before the Live series. The Live 500BT will be suitable for most music genres and have amazing battery life. Unfortunately, this model doesn’t have active noise cancelling (ANC), which means they won’t be ideal for commuting

I did have the charge four and then I started using the Soundcore Motion Plus and now I'm on the charge five and I just haven't found nothing that giv...

I would like a pair that has big earcups (full-sized or just a bigger than average on-ear will do). I prefer when the sound is over all balanced with clear sound. It would be preferable if the cable is detachable or has a built in microphone. In the past I have had Skullcandy Hesh 2 and JBL Live 500BT, both of them were a bit small and my ears ended up getting tired, I don't have much sound experience but in my (probably ignorant) opinion, I enjoyed the sound

At first glance the JBL Charge 5 just seems like another redesign with an overdone logo on the front. But there are actually some very big changes und...

After a moment it goes back to the bluetooth available list and said it failed. Tried restarting my Stick but still no success. Anyone else has this problem or know to solve it?

For example, it destroys the JBL Charge 5 is overall volume and especially bass at high volumes. The only way to better it for around the same price, is with the W King X10. It was recently compared to all of the JBL Extreme models (1,2,and 3) and was louder and had more bass than every single one of them.

No bass at all on stock sound profile. I have to download the app to put the bass boost mode on. Even with bass boost mode enable, I can still heard sound distortion on medium sound volume. Sound volume is low like I have to crank it up to 70% - 80% volume

All this being said it not a bad speaker by any means but for the price i dont feel like it’s justified

But These headphones are great at this price. If something happened to these cans today, I would buy them tomorrow without question. So, no doubt get these cans people! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Hello everyone and welcome to another review on the product lab. My name is Jordan and here we have the JBL Charge 5. And it's one of JBL's latest spe...

After COVID, I bought JBL LIVE 500BT, and quietly enjoy the upgrade from the comfort of my home, mostly in kitchen while preparing food.

On the black version at least, it is a little bit understated. Outside of that, the design of this is rock solid. There is a fabric grill that goes al...

Is there any thing I should try before returning these and buying headphones from another brand? It’s too bad as I love the design.

I don't find the Bluetooth interference enough of an inconvenience to warrant a return or negative review.

* Reasonable sound quality (no audiophile here, I just don't want something super boomy or thin)
