However, since the Charge 5 doesn’t have a light feature to power, it has an advertised battery life of 20 hours. Now the Charge 5 has the same 75 hundred milliimap hour battery found in the Pulse 5. Where as with the Flip 6, this speaker also has an advertised battery life of 12 hours… but real world use with this speaker playing at 80% volume… its good for about 8 hours of playback time which is not bad at all.Īnd finally there’s the Charge 5. If you use it at a higher volume that going to drain its battery life or depending on the light feature, that also going to drain you battery life. However, just keep in mind that battery life on this speaker really varies depending on how you use it. But real world use with this speaker playing at 80% volume which is a really good listening volume for indoor use, the Pulse 5 is good for about 6 to 7 hours of playback time. However, this advertised battery life of 12 hours is with this speaker playing at 50% volume and with the light feature dimmed down a bit. Now the Pulse 5 has an advertised battery life of 12 hours. However just keep in mind, if you do decide to use this light feature, its going to take its toll on the battery life.īut now lets talk about battery life. But nonetheless, this light feature is very impressive, and you have a lot of different styles to choose from. However during the day time, it can be hard to see this light feature. Now the pulse 5 has a very dynamic looking feature thats going to look amazing either indoors… or outdoors at night. However, this now leads us to the light feature on the pulse 5. So this acrylic body also does a good job of standing up to constant abuse… but I would still be gentle with it. Now yes, you are going to get some deep scratches if you were to drop this speaker from two off of the ground… but more importantly, this acrylic body doesn’t shatter very easily. Now after conducting a few stress tests, I found that this acrylic body is fairly durable. Where as with the Pulse 5, this speaker has an acrylic body. Now with both the the flip 6 and charge 5, both of these speakers have subtle designs to them and they have a mostly fabric wrapped body which do a great job of standing up to constant abuse from bumps or scrapes. Basically, if any of these speakers get wet, rained on, or dropped in a pool, they’ll be fine. Now durability wise, all of these speakers are rocking an IP67 rating meaning that they’re all water proof up to 30 minutes in 1 meeter in water. Where as the charge 5 weighs in at 2.1 pounds and the flip 6 weighs in at 1.2 pounds. Now taking the Pulse 5 on the go with you is also easy enough and you can now hang it from places thanks to its new built in loop… but just keep in ming that this speaker is noticeably denser than these other two speakers weighing in at 3.2 pounds. Now the Pulse 5 is also medium sized speaker but its a vertical speaker. Now taking this speaker on the go with you is easy enough… but its not as conveninete as the Flip 6. Where as the Charge 5 is a medium sized speaker. Now the flip 6 is a small portable bluetooth speaker and its very easy to carry this speaker in your back pack. Now first lets talk about the design of these speakers. Nonetheless, I like and recommend all of these speakers, and if you want to pick any of these speakers up they’ll be linked down below. Where as with the Flip 6 this speaker retails for $130 but can be found on sale from time to time and the Charge 5 has a retail price of $180 and it also likes to go on sale from time to time. Regarding pricing, the Pulse 5 has a retail price of $250… and im going to be honest, that is a little steep and you’re mainly paying for looks. Nonetheless, lets see how the Pulse 5 stacks up to its older brothers. Now yes, the Pulse 5 has a new speaker set up which has improved its instrument separation… but if sound quality is very important to you, then you’ll still might want to go with either the JBL Charge 5 or the JBL Flip 6. However, with the Pulse 5 you’re mainly paying for the light feature. So the JBL Pulse 5 has an amazing looking light feature that’s really going to liven up your room or its just going to look very cool on your porch at night.
