Terrific sound, and amazing battery life.

I used to own the JBL Charge 2+, until an unfortunate dip in a river cost it its battery life. I'd always loved the sound quality of that speaker, so I bought the Charge 3 without hesitation. However I was a little confused as I felt the sound didn't feel as bright, or well-rounded. It had plenty of bass, but the highs were audibly missing compared to my Charge 2+. So I figured I'd give the JBL Flip 5 a listen, and purchased it simultaneously to try a side-by-side comparison.
The Flip 5 was the clear winner to my ears. Its sound is crisp and very well-rounded, with loads of bass and excellent highs. All my "test songs" sounded better on the Flip 5 compared to the Charge 3 (which I later returned). The battery is also phenomenal. Granted this is right out of the box so naturally the battery's going to be great, but I feel like I don't have to worry about charging it at all. It just keeps going for days of intermittent use. I used it for several hours one night, then continuously at medium-high volume for 5 hours on a rafting trip, and another several hours at home before it finally petered out.
The Charge 3 might get a little louder, but I never pushed either speaker to its maximum volume to test it. Honestly, the Flip 5 is PLENTY loud for anyone's home, and the sound holds up great at high volume. At about 65% volume I feel it's too loud in my apartment to play for more than a minute without bothering my neighbors. And on the river trip it carried across a good 120-150 feet of water (not loudly, but audible for sure).
The only thing I'm not crazy about is the lack of a "foot" for it to stand on. It's weighted to always roll to a single resting point with the logo pointed up slightly, but since I have the white speaker, I have to be mindful of not putting it down on something dirty and staining the mesh.
Definitely, definitely happy with this purchase. In my mind, and for this pricepoint, it's the ideal balance of small size, terrific sound, BIG output, and excellent battery life. Highly recommend this one!

I love this speaker. I have another one and am excited to sync them together. I have been very impressed with the sound quality too! Much better than expected from something so small. It is also easy to transport.

I bought this product about a month ago and I couldn't be happier!! The sound quality is amazing and it goes anywhere and everywhere. The fact that they can connect to one another is also awesome. I will definitely be buying more of these so I can customize my sound system at home. Thanks!
