JBL Go 5 Ultra-Portable Bluetooth Speaker, IP68 Waterproof & Drop-Proof

The JBL Go 5 brings iconic JBL acoustic performance to an ultra-portable, palm-sized design built for outdoor adventures and everyday listening. Featuring an IP68-rated enclosure, it is fully waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof, easily handling sudden rain showers, poolside splashes, and accidental tumbles. Designed to fit in the palm of your hand or slip neatly into a pocket, it weighs just 0.23 kg while delivering substantial audio power and tactile durability.

Equipped with a custom 45 mm transducer delivering 4.8W RMS output, the Go 5 pumps out crystal-clear highs and surprisingly deep, punchy bass. A newly integrated ambient edge light provides subtle accent lighting with customizable themes and intuitive visual cues for power status, pairing mode, and battery levels. For extended listening, its rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 8 hours of continuous playback, expanding to 10 hours with Playtime Boost. Featuring modern Bluetooth 6.0, Auracast™ multi-speaker broadcasting, and bump-to-pair AirTouch instant stereo pairing, the Go 5 also supports lossless audio playback via USB-C from laptops and tablets, along with karaoke compatibility with the optional JBL EasySing Mic Mini.
