Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this to replace my nearly 10 year old JBL Flip 2 because the battery only lasts around 30 minutes now. The Flip 5 has a great battery. It lasts at least 10 hours of continuous play. That's the good part. The bad part is it doesn't sound nearly as good as the Flip 2. First of all, it's mono. I knew this going in so it's not than big a deal. Second, it has way too much bass. Even with my equalizer set to the "less bass" or "Flat" settings, the bass overshadows all other frequencies. When compared side by side with the Flip 2, it sounds like part of the music is missing. I intend to keep it because it's a pretty good portable speaker but, I just ordered a new battery (which is a PIA to replace) for my Flip 2.

Nice speaker with the low bass and also the water proofs

I love my jbs filp5 speaker. All doe it was used I have to find anything wrong with it.

Love the sound from this. The size is perfect too as it fits perfectly in my bottle cages. Battery life is great and even when it runs out it can still play while plugged in. Party mode is great and flawless though it was a bit of a let down when we tried to pair it with a flip 4 and it did not. Will be buying another one for party mode and using it to cover more areas when I am working in multiple areas like the upstairs and then the garage with the saw.

I’ve had this speaker for a little over a year and I absolutely love it. The sound quality is great and it also has good bass. This was the first time I’ve bought a JBL speaker snd it definitely won’t be the last.

Have the 3,4, and now 5. Very good product. Will recommend this one for sure

The speaker I like to take everywhere with it I can play music louder with it

This is my first bluetooth speaker. I didn't know what to expect, but it paired with my laptop (portable jukebox) with no issues. For it's size the sound was great, the volume was epic. The packing material serves as a case that seems like it will provide near indestructible protection, although it is somewhat clunky. There was no charger or cable included. A "C" type USB cable is required. The speaker charged quickly from my laptop, I also used a cheap wall charger which also worked fine. I am quite happy with this speaker!

Great sound quality, selection of colors, easy to use, and truly is waterproof.

Loud little sucker. I'm a fan of JBL. We have a couple of JBL speakers.

Great sounding compact speaker. Size is perfect for golf cart.

I needed a new speaker to replace another portable that was no longer functioning. I had read reviews of the JBL Flip5 and decided to give it a try! It has exceeded my expectations in everyway! The sound is crisp and clear....as with other reviewers, I'm somewhat at awe with the volume and sound quality this small speaker puts out. Battery life is very good. It last the roughly 10 hours advertised depending on the volume you listen at. Intuitive controls and pairs up easily via Bluetooth. All in all, this is a great speaker and well worth the price.

Love this speaker. I have an old truck and need to replace the radio so I’ve been using this speaker when I drive it or do house or yard work. It’s loud, sound is AMAZING battery life lasts. Great purchase

Excellent speaker.Good size.Very confortable.Water proof. Good for outside walk.

Great sound quality out of a small, water proof speaker. Cant beat the quality for the price.

A recommended item that I have appreciated to the fullest, can be used inside, outside and charging is great as well. Can be used as a speaker for podcasts, phone calls or again as for listening to music.

For such a small speaker, sound is excellent. Good quality and price. Would buy again

I had the flip 4 before this and not much different but I liked the new color choices and the new battery life display. Overall it’s a great sounding speaker for the price. Not too big at all but packs a pretty good sound. Might even work for a small gathering but not ideal for a large party. Overall good portable speaker with great sound quality and battery life

Love this Bluetooth speaker! So many cool surprises. I am a mild audiophile so clear sound great bass is important to me. This Bluetooth definitely delivers! I did learn this until well after like 6 months of daily use that it could sync to other speakers and create surround sound or a party mode. So cool definitely worth the price

Love this thing! I have this setup behind my drums when I play in the garage. I can hear the music just fine while playing. We also set this up in our backyard when we have people over. Works great!
