    Does not hold a charge longer than 5 hours. And even when its charging it drains the battery and turns off.

      Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We're here to help. If your speaker turns off less than 60% of the published playtime, and you purchased the speaker within less than a year, even if listening at maximum volume to heavy bass music, the battery should last longer than 60% of the published playtime. For further assistance, please contact us at (800) 336-4525 Mon - Fri: 9:00 am - 11:00 pm (EST) Sat - Sun: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm (EST) JBL

    Speaker blew out within four months. It was never used at max volume. Waste of money, don’t buy.

      Thanks for your feedback. Let's isolate the issue with your JBL Flip 5 by trying to connect your speaker to a different source device or source application. You can also try to check the equalizer settings on your source app, which may help you possibly fix the issue. Next is reset, turn on the speaker then press and hold "Volume +" and "Play" for more than three seconds. The speaker will turn off, and reboot to factory default. You may need to 'forget' the speaker in the Bluetooth settings on your phone/tablet to pair it again. If the issue remains, you may file a warranty claim to our official website or contact us for further assistance. JBL

    It hit the floor once and broke (on carpet), the speakers were buzzing and unable to be used past that point. It was barely used.

      Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback on our JBL Flip 5. Please try connecting the speaker to a different source like another phone, tablet, or computer, and make sure that your JBL Flip 5 and your source device are within the Bluetooth range of 10m. Don’t stand too close to a Wi-Fi router and appliances like microwaves that can interfere with the connection. If the issue continues, please reach out to our customer support team for more assistance. JBL

    Not worth the upgrade. I wouldn't pay the full price for this speaker, not worth it. I bought it for $69.99 + tax but if I could change it for something better I would. I would pay more than $50 for it

    For all the people giving this such great reviews, I am at a loss. Bought it awhile ago and it mostly gathers dust. Thought I did my research. Base is not good and general sound quality is poor. Wish I would have returned and bought something else

      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).

    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.

    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
