Great Speaker - Slight improvements From Flip 4
on July 29, 2019
Posted by: ben444
I had the JBL Flip 4 which was very solid, and then sold it for the Flip 5. This speaker has slightly more bass and a little bit more of a low/mid range than the Flip 4. I compared the two side by side and you could tell the sound was a bit more distinct, the Flip 4 sounding more tin can like. Not a huge difference. I do miss the triple click on the play button to replay the song or skip to previous track. This seems to only have the skip feature with the double press.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Battery not as advertised

Bought the flip 5 last week. I will be returning it as the battery did not even last a full round of golf (5hrs) at max volume.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your feedback about our JBL Flip 5. Our speakers' playtime would vary depending on the volume you're playing the music. The suggested '12 hours' is just an average of how long the speaker can go on, knowing that it is played at mid-volume. If you have questions or other concerns, please reach us through this link: http://bit.ly/2lIab0A.

How is it an improvement to offer fewer features and capabilities? I would love to see your market research that says your customer base wants devices with LESS functionality!

No Microphone = No speakerphone

You can't make downgrades without saying it. I had the Flip 4 and it was obvious that it would have a microphone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

partyboost not compatible with connect+
on September 10, 2019
Posted by: paintbrush
from California, LA
seriously how about connect+ speakers be updated to partyboost so we would connect the speakers we have like flip 4, charge 4, extreme 2, pulse 3, boombox,etc. so we can connect to the newer speakers like the flip 5 and pulse 4
Response from jbl.comBy Pearly, Customer Service, September 11, 2019
The Party Boost of our JBL Flip 5 is an improved version of the JBL Connect+, which improves the Bluetooth reliability of interspeaker connections. Due to hardware differences, it isn't backward compatible with the JBL Connect+ which your JBL Flip 4 and all other speakers that you've mentioned has. Our future speakers would most likely have the party boost feature. Let us know if you have other questions using this link: https://www.jbl.com/support-contact.html
