Supreme is partnering with JBL to launch a limited-edition Go 5 Bluetooth speaker for its Fall/Winter 2026 collection. Predictably, the ultra-portable speaker is wrapped in the streetwear brand’s iconic signature red.

The JBL Go 5 is already available globally in ten different colors, including red. Supreme’s version swaps in its own shade of red, which is noticeably different from JBL’s standard color. 

You’ll spot Supreme’s logo printed in white, JBL’s branding on the lanyard in its usual font, and white buttons instead of the red ones on the regular model. Beyond the paint job, though, this is the same speaker JBL already sells.

JBL Go 5 Specifications

The Go 5 runs on a 4.8W driver tuned by JBL’s Harman Acoustics team and backed by a 7-band equalizer in the JBL Portable app if you want to adjust the sound yourself. It measures 101 x 77.4 x 43 mm and is light at about 230 grams of weight.

The connectivity options include Bluetooth 6.0, with support for SBC, AAC, and LC3 codecs, plus Bluetooth Auracast so you can link it up with other compatible speakers for a wider sound setup. You also get AirTouch, which handles instant pairing between two units for stereo playback. There’s also a USB-C connection with a built-in DAC chip, so you can plug the speaker straight into a laptop or phone for audio without any wireless compression.

The Go 5 offers up to 10 hours of run time in Playtime Boost mode. The speaker carries an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, and is rated to survive drops. It also has ambient edge lighting that runs along the frame, which is customizable through the companion app.

Supreme hasn’t said how much this version will cost or when it’ll actually be available. Given how these collaborations usually go, expect a markup over JBL’s own pricing and a limited run that sells out fast.

The JBL Go 5, which was first announced in China earlier this March, now appears to be heading to the US. While JBL has not made a formal global announcement yet, the speaker has been listed on Amazon US with a release date of April 26. Pre-orders are open at $54.95.

The Amazon listing shows the Go 5 in seven colors: Black, Blue, Purple, Red, Teal, White, and Squad. Earlier listings in China mentioned slightly different shades, including Sky Blue, Pink, Orange, and Deep Blue. The speaker also includes WINK ambient lighting, adding a subtle visual element.

In terms of design, not much has changed. The Go 5 keeps its small, block-style build, measuring 101 x 77.4 x 43 mm and weighing about 230 grams. It is compact enough to fit into a small bag or even a jacket pocket. It also carries an IP68 rating, which means it is protected against dust and can handle water exposure.

Inside, the speaker uses a 45 mm driver with an output of 4.8 W RMS. JBL says the tuning has been done by its Harman Acoustics team. It offers a frequency response range from 100 Hz to 19 kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio above 85 dB. The setup is clearly aimed at personal listening and small spaces.

The Go 5 upgrades to Bluetooth 6.0 and supports SBC, AAC, and LC3 codecs. It also adds Bluetooth AURACAST, which allows audio to be shared across multiple compatible devices. There is also an AirTouch one-tap pairing feature for quicker setup.

Users can pair two units for stereo sound or connect multiple speakers for a wider setup. The speaker also supports USB-C audio playback with a built-in DAC when connected to a computer. It runs on a 1000 mAh battery rated at 3.85 Wh, with up to 8 hours of playback without lighting. Charging takes around three hours using a 5V/1A USB-C input.

The post JBL Go 5 Spotted on Amazon US with Bluetooth 6.0 and AURACAST Support appeared first on Gizmochina.

JBL has quietly announced the new JBL GO 5 speaker. The small, colorful Bluetooth speaker builds on the familiar GO design, but this time JBL is layering in a handful of meaningful upgrades.

At first glance, not much has changed about the design. The GO 5 keeps its compact, block-like shape, measuring 101 x 77.4 x 43 mm and weighing about 230 grams. It’s small enough to slip into a bag pocket without much thought. 

JBL is offering it in six color options, including Black, Red, Sky Blue, Pink, Orange, and Deep Blue (Cloisonne). There’s also WINK ambient lighting built in for a subtle visual layer. And as expected, the speaker comes with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. 

JBL GO 5 Specifications

Internally, JBL says the GO 5 has been tuned by the Harman Acoustics team. Output power is rated at 4.8W RMS, a modest bump that suggests slightly stronger sound compared to previous models. 

It uses a 45mm driver and offers a frequency response range of 100 Hz to 19 kHz (-6dB), with a signal-to-noise ratio above 85 dB. As expected from a speaker of this size, it’s built more for personal listening and small gatherings rather than filling large rooms.

For connectivity, the GO 5 moves to Bluetooth 6.0 and supports SBC, AAC, and LC3 codecs. JBL is also adding support for Bluetooth AURACAST, a newer feature designed to broadcast audio to multiple compatible devices. There’s an AirTouch one-touch pairing function as well, aimed at simplifying the setup process.

If you own more than one GO 5, you can power them on and have two units automatically connect to form a stereo pair. Multiple speakers can also be wirelessly linked together for a wider sound setup. 

For those who prefer a wired option, the GO 5 supports direct USB-C connection to a computer and includes a built-in DAC chip for digital audio playback.

Inside, there’s a 1000mAh lithium-ion battery (3.85Wh, equivalent to 3.8V/1000mAh). JBL claims up to 8 hours of music playback with lights off, depending on volume level and audio content. Charging takes about three hours using a 5V/1A USB-C input. The maximum operating temperature is listed at 40°C.

The JBL GO 5 is now available for pre-order in China for 399 yuan (roughly $58), with broader global availability expected in the coming days.
