Great sound!

My wife received the Flip 5 in a gift bag at a company event. She gave it to me, and I started using it. Awesome!! I bring it in my golf cart, a hit! I bring it to the pool, awesome! Didn't occur to me to buy one, but now that I have it, Totally enjoying the music. Now I will add it to the short list of items I plan to give as gifts.

VERY GOOD SPEAKER WITH PARTYBOOST

I got this speaker for my birthday last year and i will buy another one. the sound is great compared to my clip 4 with loud and clear sound. Bluetooth 4 something is good enough and the waterproof feature is great! I also use partyboost with my friend's boombox 3. I would recommend this to a friend or a family member.

Solid Sound from Small Package

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been reviewing this speaker for about a week and a half. This speaker has a great sound which last all 8 hrs I was playing it and still had battery left. The speaker is really loud but does distort at top volume depending on music style. I really like the look of the red speaker as you can see in pictures. I was unable to try the waterproofing but sure it works just as all other features do. I feature I can't wait to try and most interesting is the Party Boost. To connect and stream to several speakers. I can't wait to hear that sound. Overall a great speaker with really good features and sound.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Speaker but Cmon JBL
on July 21, 2019

I waited and waited.....and waited for this speaker because I lost my Flip 4 and thought the Flip 5 would be around much earlier than late July.
So it finally comes and it has Partyboost that is not backward compatible with Connect+. Now I'm finding out the two features and how they connect use different hardware to do so and therefore a firmware update is most likely not possible so that partyboost and connect+ will become compatible.
Dont get me wrong this is a darn good speaker and the best in its category but...
NOW I am gonna get another Flip 4 to pair with my Charge 4 so I can party Connect+ style instead of Partyboost style.
And no Bluetooth 5.0?!?
Coming from a big fan - shame on you JBL
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great sound from a little speaker ,to be so small this speaker does a good job at creating a decent sound stage ,it sounds even better if u connect 2 of them together and put them in different part of the room , the sound is amazing ,it’s ipx7 waterproof the battery life is decent ,I played it at a little over half volume for about 6 hours and it still has over half battery life left .This is a great compact speaker to carry in a back pact or use the strap and carry in your hand or even a jacket pocket
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great product
on November 11, 2022

I bought this speaker about two years ago, this past just we had it on our roof top watching fireworks and listening to music. I accidentally left it on the rooftop from July and found the speaker in November. In those month it had rained, hailed, high winds. In my mind I thought that I would have to buy a new jbl flip speaker, I rapped in a blanket for about two days. Remarkably, when I turned on the speaker it turned on, it is still in great shape…thank you JBL for making a great product!

There is a GG, TL and CS versions on sale right now and they all Label as Flip 5 but sound very different. Only TL sound decent. Rest are waste of money. Buyers beware!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
