    I have been buying a JBL Bluetooth speakers every year for the past 6 years. Every year they get progressively better and the Flip 5 did not disappoint. This is the best sounding Flip yet. The sound is definitely crisper/clearer than the previous year and is able to compete with the much higher priced Bluetooth speakers. In addition, I can daisy chain my JBL speakers together for additional volume if needed. This is the best bang for the buck by far in Bluetooth speakers.

    This is a gift for my mother who is in the Rehab at the moment but I tried it out and I think it's going to work well for me and her. She is hard of hearing and this puts the sound track from the TV near her bed. Now the roar of her TV won't keep me awake as her TV is by the bedroom door which is right across the hall from my bedroom door 5 feet from my bed. I spent many a wakeful night because of her TV selection (murder mysteries) this will help me have sweet dreams.

    Low cost, muddy sound quality, disconnects

    The speaker mysteriously disconnects from Bluetooth at least once during a session and I have to reboot and reselect it on my device. The sound quality is heavy on the low end, and rather muddy. It’s OK for the money, but not for the audio quality.

    I love this speaker, especially in the white color! The sound on this speaker is better than some other speakers that I have tried. It has better base and quality sound. It does come with a string so you can hang it on things or have it be placed down. It is a bit heavier than some other speakers in the same size category but overall this is one of my favorite speakers!

    A very average speaker that is overpriced. The speaker sounds like it’s old and dusty with good battery life.
