The buttons on the top of the JBL Charge 5 portable Bluetooth speaker.

Just below this is an oval-shaped LED battery life indicator. The JBL logo is pretty big on the front but not out of place.

The majority of the speaker is covered in a soft woven fabric-like finish. Centred on the bottom is a series of rubber-like strips to give the speaker a bit of grip when set down. While the top of the speaker is relatively flat, so to speak, the bottom curves up on the sides. Like many portable Bluetooth speakers, the JBL Charge 5 has a horizontal cylindrical design.
