This thing always disconnects randomly, and all of a sudden doesn't play any sound, it was problematic from the start but of course JBL wont help and just says to do a hard restart which does nothing

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. If you already performed a factory reset by doing this procedure, 'while the unit is ON, press Volume + and Phone (Play) button at the same time for 2-3 seconds until the unit turns off' and the issues still persists. Please contact customer service so we can check your options. Here's the link. https://bit.ly/2WocMfi

Came without a charging cable and a charger. Definetely not an excellent condition.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. we suggest returning the device to BestBuy as our JBL Flip 5 must include a Type C USB cable. Please note that there is no Charging adapter included in the package. You could use any USB power adapter with 5V and at least a 2A power output rating.

This speaker is only good for a short period of time... doesn’t get too loud so closed space is best use... and only keeps charge for about 4-5 hours

Good build quality. Sound is a little canned sounding compared with more expensive models. Decent value for the cost.

You generally can't go wrong with JBL products typically and this is no exception. For such a small speaker it has awesome sound. Easy to grab and go. Like that it is waterproof, bought it for the beach.

This speaker is louder than jbl 4 and charges thru micro usb C, now this speaker still doesnt float, no aux input, no speaker phone, the most serious issue is that is not compatible with any jbl connect plus speakers... (you cant connect them)thats so sad and yes it is just a mono speaker like the jbl charge 4.... nothing else to say..
