Overall amazing!

I've had the JBL flip 4 for about 2 years now and it has been everything I wanted and then some. Sound quality is amazing and the loudness is great. However, recently it has started showing signs (noises) that is has a blow speaker. Still sounds great but when certain beats hit you can hear the annoying blown speaker in there. Still sounds good most if the time though. Wish the warranty lasted more than 12 months.

FLIP 5---GREAT WHEELCHAIR MUSIC
on March 15, 2022
Posted by: Juanita3921
from Corpus Christi, Texas
I use a wheelchair because of a car accident, and play music as I "drive" my chair for two reasons: First, I always had music going in my car. If my chair is to be my car now, I still want music. Second, I got hit by a driver in San Antonio. They weren't looking. Texas drivers are an especially wild breed. Crisp, clear music played reasonably loud as I go down the street provides increased visibility, so I'm safer. I've had several people ask, "Is that great sound coming from that little speaker?" The loop is great for hanging on a bracket--no muss, no fuss, no one stealing my speaker. I also use my Flip 5 whenever I workout in the pool. Once, my husband and I were dancing in the pool (it's the only place I'm able to dance now) with the speaker playing, and I looked around. Every other couple in the pool had begun dancing, and a couple was dancing on the sidewalk! I do wish it didn't distort when I play it at top volume, but hopefully JBL will fix that. The charge life is great. My Flip 5 plays for 10-14 hours on a charge. I love not having to worry about getting caught in a Texas storm because it's waterproof.

I purchased this speaker a couple of weeks ago and this thing goes everywhere with me. Perfect sound for most every application from the pool side to camping, I'm very impressed

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
on January 28, 2024

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
on August 29, 2019

[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
Posted by: Bbs9
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.
