Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’m happy with this speaker overall. I bought my first one when looking to replace a cheaper Bluetooth speaker that died. I wanted to keep in the $100 range and landed on this one. I bought a 2nd for my daughter and she didn’t want it so I returned it to Best Buy unopened. It’s more than capable of getting louder than I’ll ever need and it’s small enough to not be cumbersome wherever I want to set it down. And, as silly as it may seem, the shoestring has proven to be convenient to hang it up when necessary. Sonically it’s pretty decent but has some issues in my opinion. The midrange is scooped and the low end is pretty artificially hyped. Great for hip hop and more simplistic dance music but A lot of midrange detail is lost due to those two factors. Unfortunately, most frequency information in most other genres of music lies in the midrange. I listen to almost every genre of music so that frequency wonkiness is really frustrating to me. At times the low end is overbearing AND sounds like what it is - a plastic cylinder. Also, the iPhone app is worthless unless you have two speakers. It’s only function is to turn them into a stereo pair. There’s no eq or any other type of processing available. I use the eq in Spotify to attenuate the bottom end. That goes a long way but I generally like to not need to use any eq whatsoever. Not really an option with most music on these speakers. The larger JBL Bluetooth speakers are even more exaggerated in the low end and scooped in the mids. All in all, I’m fine with it but I’ll dump this in a heartbeat if something more natural sounding comes along.

The speaker is very cool has nice sound easy to connect to any Bluetooth device

I liked the product but not the shipping since it was pretty messed up.

I think JBL speakers are the best, so this review is biased. Purchased on sale so it was a no brainer

I received this speaker earlier today and have been using it since. I love this speaker. The battery life is great so far. The speaker sounds great. Despite it being shipped to me during the Christmas season, it arrived to my house very quickly after I ordered it. I cannot find a flaw with the speaker. I also love that the speaker charges through a USB C charging cord. I recommend this speaker to anyone who is looking for a speaker.

So I wish the battery would last longer and the sync is not ideal with some compatibility issues with other models in stereo mode. That being said, still my favorite model of Bluetooth speaker I've EVER purchased.

Great product, sound and battery life. Easy to use.

I was originally going to purchase the next bigger size speaker, but it was out of stock. We were getting ready to leave on a trip, so I bought the Flip 5. So glad I did! This little speaker has a fantastic sound and works great with my iPhone and iPad. I have always liked JBL products and they didn’t disappoint with the Flip 5! I even use it around the house, as the sound is equal to my Sonos system and it is much more portable.

Have had several versions of this same model, the Flip by JBL, over the years. All have performed flawlessly. Unfortunately they tend to grow legs when you take your eye off of them. Tennis courts and elsewhere others have claimed them for their own. This one I plan to keep nearby and enjoy for years to come.

I liked this item, is small and the sound is good, The price was good too,

Very satisfied. The sound is rich and full. I like that spoken words from video are sharp and clear. Music is very clear and crisp. Volume levels very adequate. I never need to go to full volume. Was easy to pair and once paired it switches between my laptop or tablet by just turning it on. I have three other less expensive bluetooth speakers that I've acquired over the years. This is my go to speaker and only one I use anymore.

Nice sound for its size. Better sounding when you are at louder rates.

Great sounding speaker for the price. Easy to use.

Nice speaker and very comfortable to carry it on everywhere.

This speaker has it all... waterproof, great batterylife, solid sound quality in multiple ranges... Its actually one of the better Bluetooth waterproof speakers for its size and price point and you can still get it at an amazing price, with a replacement plan. Theres like no downside... its even got an internal daisychain button feature to link it w up to like 10 others i think for a pretty awesome surround style sound mode...

Not bad honestly for what it is. I was lucky to get it as an open box item so I guess thats why im not judging it as if I had paid full price for it. Works great and sounds pretty good.

It is a good speaker and good size, also great sound

Bought this for work got open box so, I paid less works great.

Pretty decent. Nice bass but not the best could be better

The one speaker is off center. It jacks with your head if you are sitting close to it. Otherwise, it does what it is supposed to do.
