Described by one happy customer as "immense and fantastic with a sound that blew them away" the JBL portable bluetooth speaker with deep bass currently has more than 28,000 five-star ratings from buyers and more than 6,000 five-star reviews.
The manufacturer's description of the JBL portable Bluetooth speaker states: "Wirelessly stream music from your phone, tablet or any other Bluetooth-enabled device for up to 20 hours while simultaneously charging your devices with a built-in powerbank so you never have to pause the party. To the pool, to the park, to the shower JBL Charge 5 is fully IP67 waterproof and dustproof so you can bring your speaker anywhere without taking a break from your tunes."

For potential buyers who like to know more about the technical side of the unit JBL adds that the speaker has "optimised racetrack-shaped driver, a separate tweeter, and dual JBL bass radiators delivering rich and clear audio".
It is available in a number of colours including pink, red, and white

Of the thousands of five-star reviews one customer comments: "From playing my first tracks I was aware of a wide grin on my face! This unit may be top quality, but it's also fun! It makes you smile. The unit feels substantial and robust, even though I have no intention of taking it to the beach, submerging it in water."
However the company's decision to waterproof the unit has led to one buyer being disappointed with the speaker as, in their view, it has affected the speaker's sound quality.

But thousands of the five-star review are content with the sound for their personal taste with one commenting: "Brilliant, good-size portable speaker, great build quality, sound is clear and bassy without distortion, decent battery life (around 20 hours) the app is easy to use and it pairs well to most devices, the JBL Charge 5 is a must have premium quality Bluetooth speaker, fully recommend."
Another customer was pleased with the speaker too saying: "The sound quality of this speaker is extraordinary compared to its size. The sound is crystal clear at the highest volume, and the speaker performs well in delivering mids and highs."
Arguably the most noticeable version of the speaker is the camouflage option

There's up to £100 off Sonos smart speakers – here's how to find the best deal
If you've been eyeing up a Sonos smart speaker but wincing at the price tag, now might be the perfect moment to make your move. Amazon, Currys, and the official Sonos store have kicked off a massive sale, offering discounts of up to 28 per cent across the brand's most popular audio gear. Deals include a £100 saving on the Sonos Era 300 (was £449, now £349, one of the most popular mid-sized smart speakers in the Sonos range. You'll also find savings on the smaller Sonos Era 100 (was £249, now £179, and the brand's portable Bluetooth speaker, the Sonos Roam 2 (was £179, now £129, Sonos makes some of the best smart speakers for achieving multi-room audio at home, and despite a high-profile, botched update to the Sonos app in 2024, the brand has begun to rebuild its reputation by continuing to deliver well-made sound systems that are simple to install and control. Kitting out your home with more than one Sonos speaker is still an investment, but if you're expanding your multi-room audio setup or starting from scratch, this sale is your best opportunity to upgrade for less. You can find the discounts over at the official Sonos storefront, at Amazon and across most major online retailers. The Sonos Era 100 replaced the Sonos One as the brand's new go-to compact smart speaker. This isn't just a minor refresh. Sonos has re-engineered the Sonos Era 100 from scratch, now packing in true stereo sound from a single unit, thanks to dual-angled tweeters and a beefier woofer. The result is a surprisingly rich and room-filling audio experience from a speaker with a relatively small footprint, delivering crisp highs and a punchy bass that's a clear step up from its predecessor. Within its cinched-hourglass design, the Sonos Era 300 packs an array of six drivers, including an upward-firing one engineered to deliver spatial audio and an immersive Dolby Atmos experience. Like its Era 100 sibling, connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay and a USB-C line-in, alongside support for Trueplay tuning and voice assistants. Right now, there's £100 off the best soundbar Sonos has ever made. My colleague Alex was impressed in his Sonos Arc Ultra review, saying 'bass has been massively improved thanks to the sound motion technology, and dialogue is clearer than ever before. It's sleeker, slimmer, more Android-friendly and, frankly, sounds absolutely epic. Now that the Sonos app is almost back to its best, I reckon it's worth the upgrade.'

I've made £18k in 7 months after losing weight & flogging my old clothes – my little-known site makes reselling easy
The site allows you to sell clothing, beauty, live plants and so much more CHA-CHING I've made £18k in 7 months after losing weight & flogging my old clothes – my little-known site makes reselling easy ARE you trying to flog your old clothes - but don't seem to be making any money? While most of us have heard of Vinted - where some have made a fortune of £18k - there are also other sites to check out. 2 The woman started flogging her old clothes online after she lost weight Credit: tiktok/@ 2 In just seven months, Jess had raked in a whopping £18k thanks to this side hustle Credit: tiktok/@ This is what one savvy Brit, TikToker Jess, recently shared online after raking in close to £20k in less than a year. Jess, who posts under the username @ started selling items from wardrobe after an epic body transformation. As none of the old clothes no longer fit her, she decided to sell them online - before realising she had ''the bug for reselling''. Reselling involves purchasing products from various sources , such as manufacturers, liquidators, individuals and charity shops, and then selling them at a higher price to generate profit. Resellers determine a price that covers their costs, for instance, the purchase price of the product and any shipping costs, and allows them to make a profit. They then sell these products through various channels, including Amazon, eBay, Etsy and Vinted. ''It started off small and I scaled it from there,'' said Jess who moved from her ''items to charity shops to wholesale''. As well as flogging the goods on Vinted, eBay and Depop, Jess also uses a little-known site to cash in - Whatnot. The ''vintage clothing reseller'' explained: ''Whatnot is a live auction selling website. ''They have an app [...] and it's a really, really nice platform with lovely people and lots of sellers, and lots of buyers. I've made £18k on Vinted & a hack means I don't have to hunt for bits I've sold ''What I will do is I will get all my items ready and I will show those items on the screen and then people will bid if they want to buy that item.'' According to Jess, you can start at different prices, such as £1, £3 and £5 - which is ''entirely up to you''. The site - where you can also feature the products front-and-center rather than showing your faces - also offers pre-paid shipping labels. Once you've made a sale, slap the label on the box and send it out for delivery. Do I need to pay tax on my side hustle income? MANY people feeling strapped for cash are boosting their bank balance with a side hustle. The good news is, there are plenty of simple ways to earn some additional income - but you need to know the rules. When you're employed the company you work for takes the tax from your earnings and pays HMRC so you don't have to. But anyone earning extra cash, for example from selling things online or dog walking, may have to do it themselves. Stephen Moor, head of employment at law firm Ashfords, said: "Caution should be taken if you're earning an additional income, as this is likely to be taxable. "The side hustle could be treated as taxable trading income, which can include providing services or selling products." You can make a gross income of up to £1,000 a year tax-free via the trading allowance, but over this and you'll usually need to pay tax. Stephen added: "You need to register for a self-assessment at HMRC to ensure you are paying the correct amount of tax. "The applicable tax bands and the amount of tax you need to pay will depend on your income." If you fail to file a tax return you could end up with a surprise bill from HMRC later on asking you to pay the tax you owe - plus extra fees on top. According to Whatnot, 48-72 hours after the order is delivered, you can cash out via direct deposit. It doesn't have to be just clothing you're tying to cash in from - the sellers flog electronics, collectibles, beauty, live plants, and more. Raving about the little-known site, Jess said in a video: ''I personally kind of think it kind of has revolutionised the way we resell things. ''The thing I love the most about it is that when I get my stock in, I can show it on the screen [...] and then you buy it. ''I post it out within a couple of days - so it really stops that whole issue of having to store items for a really, really long time.'' While there are plenty of pros, Jess also noted the platform does have its cons, such as the fees. Seller fees are as follows: 8% commission on the sold price of an item when it sells 2.9% + 30 cents (24p) payment processing fee for the entire transaction Payment processing applies to the subtotal, tax, and shipping price paid by a buyer for a given order The payment processing fee is not currently applied to any international shipping/taxes. ''But with a lot of reseller websites, there are fees anyway. ''The other cons can be the price points - you might not always get the same prices you would on things like eBay, Depop and Vinted.'' Jess also added under another video that she's ''registered as a sole trader and will pay tax during the self assessment window''.

Ninja Double Stack air fryer deal: Save 31% on flagship model today
Ninja's Double Stack XL has only dipped below £200 once, when it was briefly discounted to £198 earlier this year | Amazon This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement. We've checked the price trackers and there has never been such a big discount on Ninja's flagship air fryer Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... We weren't expecting this to happen outside Black Friday, and there's still at least a month to go for Amazon's summer Big Deal Days, but an incredible 31% has been knocked off Ninja's flagship air fryer. It's the Double Stack, which launched to much fanfare last year, and it's spawned a whole new era of innovation in air fryer design. The brand basically turned the air fryer layout on its head, by taking a conventional double-drawer design and making it vertical. It saves space, cooks in four layers, and can feed a whole family in record time. The smaller version is also a bargain at the moment | Amazon When it launched the order books filled up immediately, and it still sells in huge numbers now, so it's rare to see the price of the Double Stack XL dip below the £200 mark - but it's happened this week. It's a frankly remarkable £186.10. The only colour option to get this 31% discount is the grey one, sadly the attractive black and copper design is more expensive still, but there's a way to get an even cheaper Double Stack. If you can live without the XL version, which has a 9.5-litre capacity, and if you choose the smaller standard version with a 7.6-litre capacity in black, it's £181.76 - which is an absolute bargain for one of the most sought-after air fryers that's ever been produced. These are deals direct from Ninja, sold through Amazon, so we don't know how long they'll last, but it's a huge saving and we might not see the prices dip this low again until at least Black Friday in November.
