Q: QuestionDoes the JBL flip five have a way to take phone calls And will I be able to hear the person voice clearly through the speaker?

Asked 6 years ago by PhoneCalls.

• A:Answer JBL Flip 5 does not have an internal microphone because of the feedback we received from customers complaining about the music stopping whenever a phone call is received or made. Our product designers decided to remove this feature to prevent this from happening. Flip 5 has better sound with the speakers' racetrack design of transducers. It has our latest connectivity feature, PartyBoost. Check out this link to learn more: http://bit.ly/2mfLxoF

Q: QuestionWhat’s the differences between this Flip5 to Flip4? The sounds? Spec & Design?

Asked 6 years ago by Raeign18.

• A:Answer I had the flip 4 and it died out so I bought the flip 5. It’s a little bigger which means a little louder but I can’t tell the difference between that. But the cool thing is it has a better battery life l, doesn’t take too long to charge, and it has a link ability where you can link it up with other speakers that have the same link option. I don’t remember if the flip 4 had it or not. All in all it just had a better battery life and is a tad bit louder

Q: QuestionWhat's the best of the jbl apps to use on my galaxy for the flip 5

Asked 4 years ago by Quick.

This question was asked about the related product: JBL - Flip 5 Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Red

• A:Answer The app JBL recommended to you only does one thing: shows you a battery bar. But your Flip 5 already has that. There is literally nothing else the app does for your speaker. No equalizer, not even general bass/treble, no volume control, no power, no nothing. Well, it does tell you if you have the latest firmware. But I've had my speaker for well over a year, and the firmware it came with is still the latest version. If you're looking for a speaker that the manufacturer cares enough about to create an app that actually lets you control the speaker and customize the sound, the JBL Flip 5 definitely is not it.

Q: QuestionCan I plug into computer via USB to use as computer speaker?

Asked 6 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer It is possible if you have a USB-A to USB-C or a USB-C to USB-C cable (depending on the ports your pc has). 1. Connect your speaker to your computer via the cable. 2. Turn on the speaker. 3. Press and hold the Bluetooth button (on the back) and the Play button (on top) simultaneously untill the speaker turns off. It will automatically turn on again. 4. The speaker is now connected to your pc (you might need to select it in your audio settings by the name Zgmicro AUDIO). The buttons on the speaker won't work while using it together with a pc. Caution! Your speaker will be very loud on standard, so put your volume down to about 10%. To use it via Bluetooth again, disconnect and connect the speaker again to your PC. Press and hold the Bluetooth and Play button untill it turns off. Now turn the speaker back on and it will work normally via Bluetooth again. If you want a more clear instruction, LevinsGraphics made a video about this on YouTube. I hope this helped :)
