    We got to replace a 4 model that had issues, only to discover 4 won’t pair with flip 5 model. So, unfortunately, we ended up having to replace the second one as well. A little annoying... but sound is even better on the new model and now tunes are filling the house again!

    This is the 3rd one I have purchased. I love the size and the huge sound I get from this speaker. The fact that I can connect all three together to get suround sound is just awesome,

    Absolutely love this speaker. Great sound in a little package. Holds a charge seemingly forever (listened to it for three straight 8 hour days at work and it never died). Actually bought a second one to use the partyboost when camping. Fantastic speaker and a fantastic value.

    I have a JBL speaker from a couple years ago so I thought this was the same thing. It is alot smaller and packs a powerful sound. I was really impressed I might have to upgrade

    Bought this for my first bluetooth portable speaker. It's light and has a carrying cord so is easy to take with me on daily walks. I pair it with my Samsung cell phone. Sound quality is excellent. Being inexperienced, I would have appreciated written directions, not just drawings.

    Excellent speaker, gets pretty loud for its size and when put in the corner of a room the bass is pretty good. Only problem is I wish it came with a travel case like the flip 5.

    Hi owned a JBL before and use it connected to my PC. This one I purchased to connect to my iPad. It works great, the sound quality is excellent and it has stood up to my 2 year old grandson who has gotten his hands on it from time to time :)

    Amazing quality. This is my main home speaker, and it is getting me by in other ways. I think it's absurd that this one portable speake, barely bigger than a tall energy drink can, produces better sound than the last surround sound system that I owned.

    Miss the speakerphone that was on flip 4. It was a feature I used a lot. Very useful if using phone for your music. Gives option to talk to caller through speaker.

    Amazing product! I can’t believe the quality of music that this little stereo can put out. And the ability to link up multiple systems makes this speaker a must have for around the house or at a party. The variety of colors to choose from is the cherry on top!

    Bought this for my wife for Christmas. She loves it. Great little speaker. Sound is good and powerful decent bass output for it's size. If you're looking for a nice Bluetooth speaker you won't be disappointed with this one.

    My daughter loves this gift! It's much smaller than the Flip ones we already had, which suits her fine. It's easy to hang on a fence or on her backpack and she is even using it for listening to remote school since her laptop speakers are not working right.

    I thought it would be bigger for the cost. My hand is actually longer than this speaker. It might be ok for a cubical desk speaker.

    Great product! Bought it to replace a broken speaker, and I’m not disappointed! Great sound quality and good battery life, would recommend to someone looking for a new speaker, good durability, and is worth the cost. Nice size for any surface, and can be taken anywhere.

    Great sound for its size. Not heavy booming bass but enough of a balance to make songs have a good balance. No complaints about the battery life either, getting what's advertised. I like having the USB-C charging port too, seems sturdier than the older micro-USB ports.

    I was happy with this speaker. I use it often and it's only becoming more enjoyable every time I use it. The sound from the connection I use from Bluetooth is amazing. I couldn't ask for anything else.
