    I like it very much and am considering getting another so I can use both at the same time, It has better distance reception than my UE Boom. But that is a lot older than this and the battery lasts longer too.

    Best Sound Quality and Bass!

    Love my new JBL Flip-5! I've had the 3 and 4 and this is by far the best! But it didn't come with a wrist band/speaker carrying wrist band. Was it supposed to?? Overall the best I've ever had!!

    Lasted less than a year

    The sound quality was great when it worked. The problems I started having about 2 months in was that it was difficult to turn on. That problem persisted and got worse till eventually it wouldn’t turn on at all. I really like the sound quality but the reliability is an issue. Never know if I’m going to be able to use it when I want to use it.

    I needed a small speaker to drown out the outside noise in my office space. It sure did the trick. It’s perfect!

    I like the look of it but expected the sound and bass to be much better than what it is. Will probably return it.

    Don't buy- Battery Life Sucks

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Extremely poor battery life. Unlike the older models this speaker doesn't live up to its legacy. On top of the fact that the battery will start to quickly die on you, JBL has programmed the speaker to shut down even when it's close to dying-without warning it would just stop in middle of your favorite sung. This speaker will only last you a few months before the battery gets really bad.I just got it last Christmas and it is currently unable to hold a charge.

      Thanks for your feedback. It is possible that the battery of your JBL Flip 5 is losing its capacity. However, it is also possible that the battery is working correctly, but depletes more quickly when the volume is very loud and/or the bass has been boosted. Please try to charge the battery to 100% and listen at low volume without the bass boosted. If the battery lasts close to the published up-to-playtime, the battery is working fine. if not, the battery may be losing capacity. For further assistance, please contact us at (800) 336-4525 Mon - Fri: 9:00 am - 11:00 pm (EST) Sat-S: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm (EST) JBL

    Good for the size. Portable. It's a little overpriced unless you get it when it's on sale.

    2014 Flip2 is better than this junk.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Need for a semi load work environment? This aint it. Sounds good at low volume but when you turn it up it it sounds terrible. The Flip 2 from 2014 sounds better than this piece of junk. Why have an app if nobody can connect their speakers to it.

      Thanks for your feedback. We're here to help. The sound quality of the speaker may depend on the type of music you're listening to, as well as the volume of it. With connecting the speaker to the JBL Portables App, please make sure that the speaker is connected to your mobile device first via Bluetooth. Once connected through Bluetooth, you may start searching for the name of the speaker on the App. If these steps don't work, for us to try further troubleshooting, please contact us at (800) 336-4525 Mon - Fri: 9:00 am - 11:00 pm (EST) Sat-Sun: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm (EST) JBL

    Nothing but trouble from day one.

    Nothing but trouble from day one, despite the good sound when it worked. Charging port would not seat cable properly. They replaced it with one with the same problem. Took 12 hours to charge. Finally, the controls stopped working correctly. Wouldn't power off. Just an overall disaster of a product.

    I really like the JBL speakers but, I probably wouldn't have purchased this Flip 5 speaker if I would have known that you can't pair the Flip 5 speaker with my Flip 4 JBL speaker.
