    The product wouldn’t keep a charge after 16 days and would randomly shutoff. Even after troubleshooting. I looked for return instructions and was 1 day shy of the return date. So I had to return to the manufacturer.

    Good overall speaker except for when connecting to MacBook Pro it consistently loses signal and I have to repair it to get it work right. It works great with my phone but the main reason I bought it was to use with my Mac.

      Thank you for your feedback. This instance is sometimes caused by the quality of your source, depending on what you are listening to. You may check the music player app to see if the Equalizer is engaged. If engaged, turn off the Equalizer. If turning it off does not resolve the issue, turn it on again and adjust the EQ by boosting the bass to your liking. You may also reset your JBL Flip 5 by pressing and holding the 'Volume+' together with 'Play' for more than 3 seconds, If you need more help, please contact our customer support at (877) 871-6755 / Mon - Fri: 9:00 am - 11:00 pm (ET) Sat-Sun: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm (ET).

    Speaker wouldn't charge after only one use. Have to exchange it for one that hopefully operates correctly. JBL is typically has very good products so was very disappointed when this one didn't work.

    Bought it on August 18th and it’s September 7th. The charger is no longer charging the speaker. I tired resetting the device and cleaning the charging port and cable but this hasn’t resolved anything . I was going to try and take it back and exchange it but it’s past due it’s date. Can I please get some help. I really am enjoying the speaker but I will no longer be able to use it once the battery completely dissipates.

    Returned for JBL flip 4 as it is not a stereo sound it is a mono speaker. Sound quality was great but it felt like a downgrade from the Flip 4

    This speaker is amazing! The battery life lasts forever and has amazing sound. As a college student, everywhere I go I want to listen to music with my friends. This speaker allows me to bring my music everywhere because it fits perfectly into a backpack! Best Buy College Crew members receive products to write honest, unbiased reviews.

    This speaker is compact and easy to use but is lacking on sound quality. My iPhone speaker has better distinction in highs and lows. It seems like this speaker just amplifies volume.

    For some reason, when I have it turned all the way up it’ll mess up and start making a static noise. I have to turn it off and turn it back on but other than that, it’s okay!

      Thanks for bringing this to our attention. we suggest returning the device to BestBuy as our JBL Flip 5 must include a Type C USB cable. Please note that there is no Charging adapter included in the package. You could use any USB power adapter with 5V and at least a 2A power output rating. JBL

    This thing always disconnects randomly, and all of a sudden doesn't play any sound, it was problematic from the start but of course JBL wont help and just says to do a hard restart which does nothing

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention. If you already performed a factory reset by doing this procedure, 'while the unit is ON, press Volume + and Phone (Play) button at the same time for 2-3 seconds until the unit turns off' and the issues still persists. Please contact customer service so we can check your options. Here's the link. https://bit.ly/2WocMfi JBL

    This speaker is only good for a short period of time... doesn’t get too loud so closed space is best use... and only keeps charge for about 4-5 hours
