    I bought the smaller version of this for both my sons and this one for me but when comparing the smaller to the larger one... It was an insignificant difference between them... as far as volume and clarity in listening to music...so I kinda wish I had NOT spent the extra money for the larger one myself... The smaller ones ARE SMALLER and so much easier to pop in your bag to take to the beach or out on a boat... and sound virtually the same. :)

    Pros: Light, excellent sound and battery life, easy to connect to, will fill a small room or apartment easily. Charges quickly and uses USB C so it works with my phone and laptop charger as well. Cons: if you're outside and need enough sound for your pool deck, you may want to look elsewhere for a louder solution. Otherwise for small gatherings it's absolutely excellent. Would recommend whole heartedly.

    I previously owned the Flip 4. That speaker lasted me like 5 years with daily listening. I personally thought the quality was amazing. So when it died I bought the flip 5. The sound quality of the Flip 5 is not as good as the Flip 4. The Flip 4 sound quality had a warmness to it. The sound kind of wrapped around you. The Flip 5 doesn't have that. The bass on the Flip 5 is not so good. There is definitely more bass on the Flip 5, but more bass doesn't mean good bass. At times the bass can sound flat and generic. Overall this is still a great speaker, better than most out there. The sound quality definitely rivals that of the Bose Bluetooth speaker. With added benefits like the ability to connect multiple JBL Flips together, is pretty ingenious.

    I highly recommend the JBL brand of any wireless Bluetooth speaker. They are the best and are definitely worth the cost because they last forever!!

    I have to admit my skepticism at purchasing such a small speaker, thinking how can something this small provide any quality sound volume. The Flip 5 proved my skepticism totally wrong. This speaker fills a room with crystal clear sound at a very reasonable price. Purchased this to use on our lake home deck and pontoon boat. The unit is perfect and has superior Bluetooth connectivity. I've since started using it while I shower. There is more than enough quality sound to overpower the bathroom fan and running water of the shower. Get this unit... you will not be disappointed.

    Easy to set up and connect. It is just a pity that it does not have an auxiliary cord connection port. I bought this for my mom who is not very tech savvy, so I had to set up the bluetooth connection for her (no issues here). I have only used this speaker indoors and the sound quality and volume are phenomenal, especially for its small size. It can be stably placed horizontally and vertically.

    The sound is good but compared to Bose, it lacks behind a bit. The design is good and the harness thing to hold is a nice touch. But on its main purpose which is music and sound, sometimes its like penetrating the ears going very loud and not soothing.
