Q: Can you plug into tv that does not have bluetooth, and use as an extra speaker for better, louder sound for the tv ?

A: JBL said earlier that it could connect with Aux connection as well. Now I am really confused.

Q: Can I leave the Flip 5 plugged in all the time?

A: Thanks for the review. The battery of our JBL Flip 5 will not overcharge. There is no harm in leaving your portable speaker connected to electricity at all times. You can simply pick it up, unplug it from the charger and be on your way, knowing that you have a full charge. However, if you’d like to conserve electrical energy, disconnect from charging. Let us know if you have other questions in the future using this link: https://support.jbl.com/us/en/customer-service/contact.html

Q: I have a JBL Extreme 2, can I pair it with a flip 5?

A: No, the JBL XTREME 2 is able to pair to other CONNECT + enabled speakers such as the JBL FLIP 4, The JBL FLIP 5 uses PARTYBOOST and it can be paired to another PARTYBOOST enabled speaker

Q: Is the Flip 5 waterproof (like the flip 4)? And, What is the weight of the Flip 5?

A: Yes and it’s very light. A little bigger than 4.

Q: how long does it takes to fully charged the flip 5 speaker

A: JBL Flip 5's charging time is 2.5 hours. Either way, leaving the unit plugged will not cause any damage to the battery as it has a lithium-ion battery. We suggest avoiding leaving the battery drained as it will cause your battery to deplete. For more information about this speaker, check out this link: http://bit.ly/2kFzbFD.

Q: How many flip 5’s can you pair together

A: With Flip 5's PartyBoost feature, you can pair up to 100+ Flip 5's together at the same time. This also works for other speakers that have the same PartyBooost capability like Boombox 2 and Pulse 4.

Q: Will a jbl flip 4 sync with a jbl flip 5

A: No, You will not be able to pair them to each other, the JBL FLIP4 uses CONNECT + and the JBL FLIP5 only pairs to other PARTY BOOST enabled speakers

A: Yes there is a pause/play option on the actual speaker.
