A Great Investment

After quite some research I bought the flip 5 and I am quite impressed. Here is my review so far:
Pros: The speaker’s battery life is top of the line, and quick charging through USB-C is a big pro as most other speakers this price have the slower miro USB. the speaker is fine with water and there is no way someone could easily break the speaker or even damage it (the side radiators are also reinforced internally). Connection range is great and I tested stability 100ft+. No issues with Bluetooth quality as it plays at a high bitrate. Sound for this speakers size is outstanding, and compared to the 4, the flip 5’s base is incomparable; it is miles ahead.
Cons: The biggest drawback is that they chose not to carry over connect plus support. Party boost is great, but they could have given this speaker this ability easily. The transmission lag is small but could have been better in comparison to Bluetooth 5.0. The lack of a line in was probably due to waterproofing and isn’t too bad considering lots of devices are ditching them.
Summary: There are many complaints about the mono sound that I didn’t find any issue in. Having two stereo drivers an inch apart playing at high volume vs a single mono driver is nearly indistinguishable. (Mono in a closed tube radiating enclosure like the flip lineup also boosts performance dramatically.) The 20 watt driver is a beast and has no noticeable distortion at max volume (I use it in a grass field and it is extremely loud). The speaker will last me a long time, and as more newer speakers are released, party boost will become more usable.

Excellent Base

I had the Flip 2 for 6 years before it broke and loved it. I bought this to replace it. They have significantly improved the base register between 2 and 5. This means that the ends pump in and out with the base drum, which is cool. I also like the expanded color pallet.
