Legendary JBL Sound in the Palm of Your Hand
The JBL Go 5 packs the iconic Harman Acoustics-tuned sound you expect from JBL into an ultra-portable, palm-sized design. A 45mm full-range driver delivers deep, rich bass and crystal-clear detail at 4.8W RMS, while Bluetooth 6.0 with LC3 codec support via LE Audio ensures a cleaner, more efficient wireless connection than ever before. When you want an upgrade, plug in via USB-C to unlock lossless audio playback through the built-in DAC, completely bypassing wireless compression.
Built Tough, Loaded with Smart Features
Rated IP68, the Go 5 is fully waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof with shock-resistant construction and protective rubber edges, making it ready for any adventure. The integrated finger loop pairs with an optional carabiner so you can clip it to your bag and go. Soft ambient edge lighting adds personality with selectable themes and helpful visual cues for power, pairing, low battery, and Auracast mode, all customizable through the JBL Portable App.
Expand Your Sound, Extend Your Day
AirTouch Stereo Pairing lets you bump two JBL Go 5 speakers together to instantly create true left-right stereo sound with no app required. Auracast support allows wireless multi-speaker linking with other JBL Auracast-enabled speakers for wider, more immersive audio. When battery matters most, Playtime Boost Economy Mode dials back the bass to stretch playback from 8 hours up to 10 hours on a single charge.
