The small portable speaker from JBL returns in a fifth generation that improves on all the key aspects of the previous model, while retaining its ultra-compact size.
According to its creator, the JBL Go 5 speaker delivers more powerful sound, with deeper bass and cleaner reproduction than the previous generation, while still fitting in the palm of your hand. The JBL Go 5 speaker retains its pocket-sized format but gains in volume thanks to a more powerful 45mm full-range driver and optimized amplification. JBL announces cleaner bass reproduction and better performance at high volumes, while maintaining a robust and splash-resistant design. JBL Go 5: Louder Sound, Ambient Lighting, and Improved Battery Life; The JBL Go 5 introduces ambient lighting around the edges, capable of displaying light themes and visual indicators for power, pairing, or battery status. Battery life reaches up to 10 hours thanks to Playtime Boost mode, which adds two extra hours to the standard eight hours. The speaker remains designed to accompany the user all day long, with simple ergonomics and immediate start-up. JBL Go 5: IP68 Speaker, Waterproof, Dustproof, and Drop-Resistant; The JBL Go 5 takes ruggedness to the next level. It is now IP68 certified, making it completely waterproof, dustproof, and even drop-resistant. A major evolution for a speaker of this size, making it even more suitable for travel, the beach, or outdoor activities. JBL Go 5: AirTouch, Auracast, and Lossless USB-C. The JBL Go 5 adopts the latest technologies. The new AirTouch allows you to instantly pair two Go 5 speakers for true left/right stereo sound. Bluetooth 6.0 and Auracast compatibility open the door to wider multi-speaker setups with other compatible JBL models. Another important new feature is support for USB-C Lossless audio, enabling high-quality wired listening.
