Built to be heard
Big sound in the palm of your hand
The Go 5 turns up legendary JBL sound with deeper, punchier bass than the model before it. Crystal-clear detail and serious low-end come from a speaker small enough to fit in one hand — proof that big sound doesn't need a big box.
Set the vibe with ambient lighting
Pick from selectable light themes that glow softly around the speaker's edge, and get visual cues for power, pairing, low battery and Auracast mode. It's a small design touch that makes the Go 5 feel personal, whether it's sitting on a shelf or by the pool.
8 hours, plus 2 more when it counts
Get up to 8 hours from a single charge, then tap Playtime Boost in the JBL Portable app for up to 2 hours more. It retunes the speaker for efficiency without giving up the sound quality you came for — handy for long beach days or an all-night open house.
Instant stereo pairing plus Auracast
Bump two Go 5 speakers together for instant AirTouch stereo pairing, or link multiple Auracast-enabled JBL speakers for a wider, more immersive sound.
Lossless USB-C audio
Plug in via USB-C and hear your playlists in their purest form, with support for lossless audio from compatible streaming apps and services.
Made in part with recycled materials
Packaged in PVC-free post-consumer recycled plastic and fabric, with a recycled driver magnet, all wrapped in FSC-certified, soy ink-printed paper.
JBL Portable app control
Fine-tune your sound with a 7-band equaliser, pick a light theme, and keep your speaker's software up to date, all from the JBL Portable app.
Works with JBL EasySing Mic Mini
Pair the Go 5 with the JBL EasySing Mic Mini, sold separately, for karaoke nights — availability may vary by region.

Grab and Go.
Big vibes, pocket-sized. The JBL Go 5 has serious audio power. Legendary JBL sound shines brightly through crystal-clear details and deep, rich bass that feels louder than should be possible in this palm-sized casing.
But the Go 5 is more than iconic sound. New edge lighting powers a soft ambient glow—and you also get selectable themes and visual cues for powering on, pairing, and battery life. And with up to 10 hours of battery life, you can count on the JBL Go 5 to soundtrack your day from morning till night. Take this IP68 waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof speaker anywhere—and never worry about a surprise rain shower or accidental fumble again.
And hey—when the party calls for louder sound, this speaker still rocks. Bump two Go 5 speakers together to link them up through
AirTouch for true stereo sound, or use Auracast™ to pair up to JBL Auracast™-enabled speakers and turn the jams up even louder. And with the JBL Portable app, you can make your listening experience truly yours.
It’s big sound—all there for the grabbing and going.
