To my surprise the JBL Flip 5 was on sale and discounted $50 so I said why not, who knew this SPEAKER would be so LOUD I love it thus far, now granted I’ve only had for one day but if you choose this speaker you too will be presently surprised!

Not worth the upgrade
Posted .Features
Quality3 out of 5Value2 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5If you have the jbl flip 4 then don't waste your money in the flip 5... Not worth the change. You're no longer going to be able to make phone calls thru the speaker. Have no idea why they took the microphone off... I'm pretty sure they'll put it back on the next speaker cause it was a stupid thing to do to take it off. Another bad thing they did was to make it a mono speaker, only one speaker in the front, didn't like it. It does sound a little louder but not worth the change if your flip 4 is still in good shape. If you have older version of the speaker, you will not be able to link it to the flip 5... On that one I'm not sure about but that's what I heard. It still a beautiful speaker don't get me wrong, but it's taking features that were part of the good thing that had the JBL flip speakers.

Posted .Thanks for taking the time in providing your feedback with our JBL Flip 5. This speaker has the PartyBoost function that can be used to connect with other PartyBoost speakers to play the same music at the same time. As Bluetooth technology improves, so do our portable products. Our JBL Flip 5 is mono as it only has 1 racetrack shaped driver on one end. But you can make it stereo with another JBL Flip 5 through the JBL Connect app. If you need more help, please contact us here: https://bit.ly/2zwFkYM

No Frills, Powerful Sound

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Sound quality, VolumeIf you want great sound look no further. If you're looking for frills, the previous version may be better for you, however the flip 5 has a better sound. There's no distortion whatsoever when volume is at maximum. The bass is nice, sound crisp, great flavors of colors, small so it can go anywhere with you and it's waterproof. I highly recommend the flip 5. With this baby by your side, you are the party. I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed, I know I'm not.

Q: Questionhow long does it takes to fully charged the flip 5 speaker
Asked by musiclover1.
This question was asked about the related product: JBL - Flip 5 Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Red- A:Answer 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.
