    I love this little speaker! I have an older car that the speakers are going out in, and rather than spend the $1200 to fix the system, I got this little Bluetooth! Excellent sound!!! And so much better quality than I could do with a Bluetooth adapter and my car speakers, even before they went out!

    My much beloved (maybe) 10ish year-old Bose Mini that I took with me on all my day trips & longer travels (and used in the house) finally bit the dust which really bummed me out. I went looking for a solid mid-range replacement and found this. Solid! Great sound. Great base. Lots of play time. Bought a $10 case to protect it for my travels. Happy Camper for hopefully another 10 years!

    I was using a cheap Bluetooth device before and thought it was time for an upgrade. After using this JBL I realized my music had low end. I would highly recommend this device especially since it is compact and easy to hide in a room.

    While visiting my grandson on vacation, he had one and we liked it so much that when we came home we got us one. The sound is amazing. The small size is great. It is so easy to use and you can take it anywhere you go. Now the other grandkids have asked for one for Christmas! Highly recommend!!!

    JBL has always been one of the best brands for music related items. Your music will be loud playing off of this. This was a gift for my father since he always wanted one I bought it for him, He likes to blast his music any chance he can get lol. I'd recommend this If you want a good quality speaker that doesn't break the bank and it holds a good charge, about 7-8 hours of battery life.

    I bought the JBL-Flip 5 to replace my JBL-Flip 4 that was adopted by my wife to use while video conferencing from her laptop. The volume and fidelity are adequate for music and speech. I also use it for live and Zoom band rehearsals to amplify the metronome apps on my phone so the whole band can hear. The long battery life and compact size are a big plus.

    This little Bluetooth speaker is impressive. It’s light, waterproof, and sounds better than most of the car stereos You hear in traffic. Great bass response, clear and crisp vocals-don’t take calls on it though- people don’t sound that good in person. It’s not everyday something gets 5 stars from me. JBL’s Flip 5 deserves it

    Perfect size to take almost anywhere. Not too big to be bulky or too small to be lost or forgotten. Size also perfect to as added decor in any room. Color blends well without standing out. Can be used as extra speaker when needed or used as stand alone speaker. Price fits almost all budgets. JBL is a great speaker.

    Hands down the best one. Can’t go wrong with this speaker. Highly worth the investment. I’ve had every single version of this speaker and this the companies finest. I always buy 2 of certain products and compare. I have tried the beats pill, Sony’s portable speakers, and the Bose speakers. By far the loudest (with clarity) out all of them.

    Let's see how long this one lasts. let my daughter borrow my Flip 4 which I used all the time outside for many years. After Flip 4 was returned, it started having some some speaker scratchy noises. Still works but jumped on the Flip 5 holiday sale. 5 feels even more sturdier, great sound, type c connector, fast charge, etc. Same great sound as 4, but even better.

    As is I'm a fan of jbl. Then I bought jbl free 1 and 2 and also the jbl tws120 and I was disappointed on the quality. But then I bought this flip 5 and I was blown away. Almost as loud as my jbl xtreme. Nothing to do with my old jbl fli2 this is a total different animal. I thought that because it has only 1 speaker it wouldn't get as loud, boy I was wrong. Loving it .

    GREAT SOUND

    This speaker is great! The sound is very clear and crisp, the volume is about halfway and is loud. If you turn it up all the way it is really loud! I like to use it by the pool and patio area. Battery last a good amount of time, would be nice if it had a cradle to rest in, because it is round and somewhat heavy it rolls. Great sound for all music, powerful worth the price.

    I have an older model of this unit and loved it so I purchased this model for my wife for Christmas. She loves it. It is well constructed and has excellent tone quality for a device so small. It is easy to sync with any Bluetooth compatible device. It charges easily and holds a charge for a long time. Very portable so can be used in almost any situation.

    I love this speaker. I was afraid of it rolling off of tables, etc., because of the design but so far, no accidents. It's heavier than it looks. The sound is good for just working in the garden. My one complaint is that when I am wearing my apple watch and have my phone on me, the Bluetooth 'control' switches back and forth between the two. I'll figure that out eventually.

    Complete Frustration

    Seeing many positive reviews for this product blows my mind... I have had nothing BUT problems... Since day 1, I should have returned the speaker when I had a chance. If I had to summarize this product in one word, other than garbage, it would be "unreliable". There is ALWAYS an issue.... EVERYDAY! Won't connect, wont stay connected, wont turn on, wont turn off, volume doesn't work, and on and on.... I am beyond frustrated with JBL and will never purchase one of their products again....
