Huge leap forward from the GO 1 (well worth it)
I’m genuinely impressed by how much punch this tiny GO 5 packs. For such a compact and rugged speaker, the sound is incredibly loud and crisp, with a much wider soundstage and way better bass than the old GO 1. The battery life easily holds up for 8 to 10 hours, especially if you play around with the Playtime Boost. Pairing is seamless too, thanks to the upgraded Bluetooth and Auracast. I also love the refreshed look with the ambient edge lighting—it looks awesome. My only real gripe is that it doesn’t include a charging cable in the box, which is a bit annoying. Even so, at this price point, it’s an absolute bargain and a massive step up from the original model!

Even better as a Stereo Pair.
I bought the Go 4 and that itself is a great little speaker, but the Go 5 is an evolutionary step. Both sound the same at low volumes, but what sold it for me was AuraCast. Get two of these and make a stereo pair, and it almost rivals my trusty old Flip 4. Much better soundstage, yet only almost as good as bass is the only thing that makes it’s down. 87dB vs 70dB for the Flip 4. It makes my DAB radio obsolete, so it is going to get used far more than I first thought. I also love the fact that it uses mostly recycled material, and you can also replace the battery with a little effort. My 8 year old Flip 4 is true stereo and has a mic, so is now providing service in my workshop. Improved IP68 vs IP67 for the Go 4 is useful too. Great battery life at around 10-12 hours when below 50% volume. I’m still running in my Blue and Squad versions, and though only slightly larger than my single Go 4 (which I don’t regret buying, while in Amsterdam), it still portable enough to be used any occasion. I also bought a Charge 6 during a sale, and pair the two Go 5’s with it for a truly immersive surround sound experience. Even though it’s just mono, it still sounded really good. If JBL can update AuraCast to run a downmixed Dolby Pro Logic setup, then your home Cinema would become a multi use system you can take anywhere! Over to you JBL!

Great Speaker, but no SD/USB Music support
Very good sound with bass from such a small speaker. Only disappointment, hence the 4 star, is that you can't put a SD or usb stick in it to play music, usb C is only for charging & linking to other other devices. My thought really as didn't read the info correctly, just used to all the other Bluetooth speakers I have, (8 or so), all have sd/usb slots.

Great sound for the price
I bought this speaker to take on holiday. I'd seen lots of positive reviews on JBL and on third party sites, and they all lived up to my experience. The speaker sound quality, especially the bass, is very strong. I was really impressed with the quality of the speaker and at such a good price point too.

Good upgrade!
I have the older JBL GO 4, and the new GO 5 really sounds much fuller and has a wider soundstage. The lights are a really nice touch as well!

Thanks for your question. In an effort to reduce electronic waste, our JBL GO 5 and many of our newer models no longer include a charging cable in the box. The unit is compatible with any standard USB-C cable you may already have from other devices.
