    I used it a coupel of times and it doesn’t charge any more, I even tried a different charger and same thing. It starts charging and then stops and if I turn it on, starts for 1 or maximum 2 songs and then stops working.

      Posted .

      Thank you for your feedback. Your JBL Flip 5 might has a bad power adapter to have a problem like this. The charger may not be powerful enough to power the unit and charge the battery. Check the adapter and make sure that the rating is 2 amps or higher. Reset may also fix the issue, please follow these steps: Remove or forget the speaker from the list of paired Bluetooth devices in the settings of the phone or tablet. Then, with the speaker powered on, press and hold the Volume + and Play buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the unit turns off.
      The speaker has now been reset. For further assistance, feel free to contact our customer support. JBL

    Decent sounding speaker given it's mono. What's a bit disappointing is it doesn't connect as easy as one would think the the JBL pary mode where you can "supposedly" connect up to 100 speakers together. I couldn't get it to connect with the JBL Xtreme 3.

    This speaker is very useful. I have been able to connect it via Bluetooth with my iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and my laptop. If I could modify it, I would like to be able to lower the base and increase the treble. But it does exactly what it says it will do.
