Speaker sounds good but customer support is awful
on November 4, 2019

Just bought the speaker and it will not connect to my Windows 10 laptop.
“Larry” from customer support was useless.
I can understand that maybe I need a driver or something, but where to find it? Not on the JBL website and certainly not from anything Larry can offer.
Did I miss something? Is there a mystery driver out there?

Thanks for the review, we appreciate the feedback you've provided to us. We understand that our JBL Flip 5 did not meet your expectations. We're always looking for ways to improve so we'll make sure to submit your feedback to the right department. The driver that you need would be directly from your computer. You need to update all of your Windows 10 drivers, especially the Bluetooth driver for it to work.

Disappointment
on February 16, 2020
Posted by: PeterGR
from Doha
After 11 purchases of the amazing flip 4 (except the battery capabilities which already completely destroyed to more than half of them (can be found after market, why cannot be purchased original?) yesterday I bought flip 5 but I returned it back at same day.
Microphone and of course internet calls (what's app imo etc) not applicable. JBL mentioned in the previous posts that they remove this function for not interrupting the music play when somebody calls you. So when played radio and somebody called me of course the music stops. Useless when you want to use it as hand free.
Audio in does not exist (I could connect flip 4 with Jack from tv and then through connect+ to send the sound to the rest of my speakers). Unfortunately that party boost cannot be connected with connect +. JBL mentioned that they change this capability for better connectivity between the flip 5 party boost system. I have to mention that connect+ was working perfectly between flip 4 so i think the answer of JBL is completely wrong and I am sure that the marketing department that decide this change failed or will fail. (I dont know how many flip 5 have been saled ad how many will be in the future).
Even if the battery of flip 4 failed I wanted to continue to enjoy the quality and the connectivity of the amazing brand called jbl. I am sure they will replace this mistake and give us the opportunity to buy again and again.
