The JBL Charge 5 is 24% off at Amazon

While the unit with a 20-hour battery life and a built-in powerbank has been cheaper in the past, the truth is you won't it at lower prices at Amazon or Best Buy right now. You see, all colorways are discounted at these merchants, though you save a slightly smaller amount ($40, to be exact).

What makes the Charge 5 a good addition to your tech collection? Well, it's larger than the Flip 6, housing a larger woofer and tweeter, but follows the same design to a large extent. You get durable materials and an IP67 rating, ensuring a little rain or occasional drop on the ground won't damage the unit.

The larger drivers deliver more power than the latest Flip, meaning louder stereo audio with thumping bass and extra depth. Of course, this won't be your preferred choice for critical listening, but it's very capable as a party speaker. While we're on the subject, this fella features PartyBoost, allowing you to connect it to other compatible JBL models.

Then again, we should note that the speaker lacks built-in lights. So, if you want a rich soundstage with an accompanying light show synced to the beat, you should seek elsewhere. Fortunately, the holiday shopping season brings plenty of Black Friday Bluetooth speaker deals, so you'll surely find what you need without breaking the bank.

But if you don't care much for lights, the Charge 5 is a top-notch choice. It's rugged, keeps the music going for hours, and even charges your devices while you're having fun. Get yours in Blue and save $50 this Black Friday at Walmart.
