No "Party Link" between only one generation?!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this speaker for a few weeks now after being a long time user of the JBL Flip 4. I've got to say that to me the audio quality is noticeably superior. I'm old school, so the auxiliary cable port is definitely missed.
I got it in solid red. I would have preferred some of the funky special edition offerings the Flip 4 offered.
I use it in the shower all the time, so the water proofing is legit.
One last major flaw I could think of: I haven't been able to use the super awesome "party link" feature between my new Flip 5 and my older Flip 4! It's either that I havent figured it out (which is entirely possible) or that JBL decided to not implement the compatibility, which is a definite souring point coming from a long time JBL customer with a collection of their products throughout the years.

Thanks for enjoying our sound and for the helpful review! JBL Flip 5 is designed with the Party Boost feature. This is an improved version of the JBL Connect+, which improves the Bluetooth reliability of inter speaker connections. It's not backwards compatible with JBL Connect or Connect+, therefore it's not possible to connect it with your Flip 4. For more information about our JBL Flip 5 check out the specification section.

Super durable w/excellent sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all, the Flips can take a beating. I got this after losing my original Flip. That one survived some abuse, including falling off the roof of my car going up 99E in Oregon in the rain. My new 5 is proving just as durable falling out of the treehouse, and it still sounds amazing. It’s small, so it’s easy to pack and carry, but has big sound. Easily connects to Bluetooth. Just a simple strong product. Kudos JBL.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has a lot of sound out of a small package. You can take this to the pool and not worry about water.

Powerful sound with great clarity. Worth the $$

Bought this two weeks ago. It is about the size of an energy drink can (16oz) and bumps as loud as the system in my car. 100% worth the money. Easy to grab and go anywhere. Would definitely recommend.

JBL has yet to disappoint when it comes to quality and aesthetics. The hardest thing to do is find a waterproof speaker that does not fork over quality of sound. Big thanks to the guys in the JBL lab for coming through. This thing goes with me anywhere applicable.

I’m critical of sound devices. JBL has achieved a great portable sound for recreational purposes.
