    It is easy to use, very loud, and easily connects with the phone. What more can anyone ask for. Most importantly it is easy to travel with.

      We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback on our JBL Flip 5. Please ensure a clear line of sight between your speaker and source device and move them close to each other to avoid interrupting your connectivity. Try to shut down unused devices nearby that have Bluetooth and move your device away from any other sources of wireless signals, such as the signals from your Wi-Fi router, as they could overlap your Bluetooth connection. Our JBL Flip 5 doesn't have an aptX HD low latency audio codec and may cause audio-video delays. Also, you may try connecting it to a different device to test if the issue remains. JBL

    Speaker is average but for the price I would wait until it goes down or for the next gen. The value wasn’t there. I expected a lot more quality sound from this.

    I have used several Bluetooth speakers over the years and had an older model JBL that lasted for a long time but when the battery stopped holding a good charge, I decided I’d get another JBL because when I find a company I like, I tend to stay with them. That says a lot.

    I love it when I first bought this because it was my first JBL speaker. I bought it when it was on sale so you can't beat the price at all! However, there are some cons to it at least in my own personal experience with mine. On several occasions, I've had to reconnect it to my iphone because for some reason it would always disconnect and not allow me to connect. It's annoying but overall the sound is great.
