Q: QuestionHi! How are these speakers for air travels? Curious about how to pack them, if they can be packed, etc. Any advice/comments would be welcome! Thanks! Steph

Asked 2 years ago by Steph.

• A:Answer Thanks for your question. You can pack the JBL Flip 5 in your luggage, a carry-on bag, or a protective case sold separately at any third-party retailer. It should be away from other materials or belongings that may cause scratches or dents. Since this unit contains a lithium-ion battery, it is best to get more information from the airlines about their guidelines for bringing electronic devices. We could provide you the Material Safety Data Sheet of our JBL Flip 5, which may be useful when you confirm with the airline if they allow it with your luggage or as a hand carry. Please reach out to our Customer Support to request a copy of this document.

Q: Questionwhat is the blue tooth range for connectivity

Asked 2 years ago by tom.

• A:Answer Our JBL Flip 5 has a Bluetooth range of up to 10-15 meters without obstructions between your connections. For best connectivity results, please ensure a clear line of sight between your earbuds and the source. A distance farther than that would pose a risk of signal deterioration.

Q: QuestionCan this product connect to a smart tv?

Asked 2 years ago by Hannerhan.

• A:Answer Thanks for your inquiry. Our JBL Flip 5 is recommended to be paired with mobile phones, tablets, and laptops via Bluetooth connection. You can connect it to your Smart TV if it is Bluetooth capable but you may experience audio-video delays as these headphones don't have an APTX HD low latency codec.
