    This is a very good speaker. I use it when I’m hitting the trails in my bike. I go through several creeks and it gets wet and keeps playing like nothing and not mentioning falls in my bike it has taken a few falls but no damage, is fits perfectly in bottle holder. It sound very clear and good bass.

    Love the look (nice blue color), great sound, made an excellent gift for my audiophile husband. Makes fun startup/shutdown sounds. Battery is still going on the first charge for over two weeks, used every day. We’re thinking about getting another one or two to link them up for surround sound.

    I bought this as a replacement for my old JBL speaker. A price I could afford. I don’t need a lot of projection.. just for my patio and various rooms. I don’t want to annoy the neighbors, but I suspect if cranked it up full it might. The tone is very full and rich for a small speaker. I’m happy!

    I bought this as a present. This is by far the best sounding Bluetooth speaker I have ever heard based on its size and weight. Paring was instantaneous. There are less expensive on the market that do not compare in sound. There are more expensive on the market that do not sound enough better to justify the price difference.

    Sounds great, connects quick. Easy to use even a caveman can do it. Good sound quality. Haven't really tested to the longevity of the battery life days it can go for hours but we'll see. Overall good device.

    I bought this on line at Best Buy to be picked up at the store. I really love the quality sound! I wanted to have a way to stream music when I’m outside on my deck or working in the yard. This was perfect and a great size. The sound quality is excellent! Best birthday gift I’ve ever bought for myself.

    It’s very short on charge life, thought it may be the cord, very hard to find a replacement charging cord. Very expensive, buy the cheaper stuff.

    I have seen how the JBL speakers would play music so loud and good quality sound. I have two sisters that they have JBL and never give them any problems and the device is amazing. I have end up buying one for my fiancé since he likes listening to music a lot. It was amazing gift to him. He loves it.

      We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback on our JBL Flip 5. Please ensure a clear line of sight between your speaker and source device and move them close to each other to avoid interrupting your connectivity. Try to shut down unused devices nearby that have Bluetooth and move your device away from any other sources of wireless signals, such as the signals from your Wi-Fi router, as they could overlap your Bluetooth connection. Our JBL Flip 5 doesn't have an aptX HD low latency audio codec and may cause audio-video delays. Also, you may try connecting it to a different device to test if the issue remains. JBL

    I really recommend the costumer service in Everett, Ma. A few days ago I got a JBL product open box and came out with a different charger, after I made the complaint Best Buy costumer service were in touch with me and they give me exactly the right product, which I was claiming.

    Flip 5 is a solid little speaker. It doesn’t get quite as loud as your larger Bluetooth speakers but then again you gotta pay quite a bit more for those. This is water proof and perfect for everyday-casual listening. I personally use it most for the shower and for when I take my kids for a walk. It’s small enough to be portable and loud enough to fill up a small living space. The bass does distort at high levels like I experienced with the UE Boom. You can’t go wrong with a JBL product. Harman Kardon puts a lot of energy and money into their JBL line.

    Brooooo! This is the 5th speaker I’ve gotten in the last 2 years. I’m just looking for great sound, smallish, and waterproof. This speaker hits all marks. Would definitely recommend if you like spending time by water in the summer and snow in the winter. 5/5 just buy it already.

    Purchased this speaker as a gift for my nephew. We have purchased other models before and we are never disappointed. This little speaker carries great sound. It’s easy to charge and easy to connect. I highly recommend this speaker to anyone looking for quality at a great price!

    The JBL Flip 5 speaker sounds really good (compared to older bluetooth speakers that I have had). The associated app that you can download isn't the greatest, but I don't really need to use it. It is fairly easy to connect. Only downside is that I wish it came with an equalizer feature that automatically loads on your device when the speaker is being used, but I was able to find a free 3rd party equalizer app that works just fine - I just need to remember to manually start up the 3rd party app when I want to use the speaker.

    Great speaker! The bass is the best feature. Pretty durable, I dropped it a few times as well and it’s still working great. Comparing it to a beats pill, this one is better because the pill has no bass. Definitely reccomend this

    This is a great wireless speaker. We recently got rid of our WiFi at work to save some dollars. Our sonos needs a WiFi connection plus its complicated. We like the sound better than our sonos and it’s super easy to use and connect any of our devices. Definitely buying a couple more for other places.

    Love all the JBL speakers. The ocean blue is such a cool color. I mainly use my Xtreme2 but this Flip 5 caught my eye and I am really impressed. It is nice to have a smaller one to move around when I am not needing the Xtreme2 for it's waterproof ability!
