    It doesn't keep good connections with apple tv. The connection with apple tv is on and off frequently.

      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

    So far so good.. purchased two types of ultimate ears speakers and they never lasted more then 60 days without some type of issue/ warranty issue that wasn’t resolved. The jbl are doing the job. Rugged/ simple to use/ adequate sound- volume options and their history of top quality stereo gear shows within this speaker. I take it outside when doing yard work and chill time within the house. Go with a company that has a history of making great speakers because I have jbl speakers for my stereo home system.

    Awesome sound! Picked this gem up after a quiet trip at the beach. I wanted something I could take with me to the beach and not worry about sand and water. It has a great battery life ! I would recommend this speaker to anyone looking for a decent speaker at a decent price!

    Purchased this for my wife after her previous speaker died. Thought it was bit small when we got it but Wow, did it put out sound. She claims much better sound than her old Insignia, which was actually bigger in size. Was great price and a bargain at that!

    Good sound, lacks an EQ on an app but using reverb (such as putting it in a open box or facing the other way) you are able to get some extra bass.

    Compact with big sound. It fills a room. I bought a second flip 5 from Walmart after Best Buy wouldn’t price match for me. 89 bucks. Anyway, two Flip 5’s combined in the app make for great stereo sound. Because of these two, I’ve become an even bigger JBL fan.

    If you’re considering buying this, do it! This little thing jams! I ordered it online and picked it up was unimpressed by the size, I assumed something that small couldn’t be so loud! When I turn it on it automatically connects to my iPhone and starts bumping.

    A friend of mine had one of these speakers and I was really impressed with the clarity and sharp sound, and that such a little speaker could achieve so much volume!! I was so happy to finally get one! And the fact that it’s waterproof just makes it that much better!

    We got to replace a 4 model that had issues, only to discover 4 won’t pair with flip 5 model. So, unfortunately, we ended up having to replace the second one as well. A little annoying... but sound is even better on the new model and now tunes are filling the house again!

    Absolutely love this speaker. Great sound in a little package. Holds a charge seemingly forever (listened to it for three straight 8 hour days at work and it never died). Actually bought a second one to use the partyboost when camping. Fantastic speaker and a fantastic value.

    Speaker is average but for the price I would wait until it goes down or for the next gen. The value wasn’t there. I expected a lot more quality sound from this.

    Bought this for my first bluetooth portable speaker. It's light and has a carrying cord so is easy to take with me on daily walks. I pair it with my Samsung cell phone. Sound quality is excellent. Being inexperienced, I would have appreciated written directions, not just drawings.
