Why you should buy the JBL Charge 5 Bluetooth speaker

JBL has been making quality portable speakers for some time, with some of them among the best Bluetooth speakers and the best wireless speakers. The JBL Charge 5 portable Bluetooth speaker is one of its most popular models. It produces high quality sound with an optimized long excursion driver, separate tweeter, and dual pumping JBL bass radiators. These deliver rich and clear audio, and sound great with music but can playback movies and other entertainment with great fidelity by connecting to a laptop or other such Bluetooth device. It’s able to connect to two smartphones or tablets at a time, which makes source audio swappable and a potential community experience.

One great thing to know about the JBL Charge 5 portable speaker is that it’s IP67 waterproof and rustproof. This makes it a great option for the beach, the park, or rainy barbecues in the backyard. It’s able to reach up to 20 hours of playtime on a single battery charge, and it also has a built-in powerbank that allows you to charge your other devices. This will keep the party going longer should anybody’s smartphone battery start running low. The JBL Charge 5 can connect to a second JBL Charge 5 with PartyBoost mode. This allows the speakers to work together to produce stereo sound or fill larger spaces with music.

While the JBL Charge 5 would regularly cost $180, today you can grab it at Best Buy for $140. This is a $40 savings, and further savings are available in the form of four free months of Amazon Music Unlimited and four free months of SiriusXM, both of which are great ways to start putting the speaker to use.

Some of the best wireless headphones on the market are on sale today. The Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones are currently $50, bringing the price down to $279. These aren't cheap headphones, but you'll be blown away by the sound quality and noise cancelling.

The Bose QuietComfort 45 wireless headphones feature active noise cancellation, which is expected as Bose is the company that pioneered the technology's development.

The Bose QuietComfort 45 also offer extreme comfort with their pleatless cushions, earcup caps, and synthetic leather, so you won't mind wearing them for several hours each day.
