Love it, loud enough

I live in a one bedroom apartment underneath a very boisterous neighbor. Regardless how much I turned up the volume on other speakers I could still hear him. After I got my Flip 5 I sat the speaker up high on a shelf near the ceiling and blasted Marilyn Manson. He got the message.
My only negative is that it doesn’t come with a remote. Not a problem when connected to my IPhone. But not other devices.
Looks wise although it comes in many colors I chose white because it matches my decor. It doesn’t look like a speaker. Blends in.
Battery is fantastic. I’ve used it all week for a couple of hours a day on one charge.
Great for a one bedroom and can’t beat the price for such quality. It’s solid.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just short of great.

I purchased a Flip 2 years ago and absolutely loved it. It just broke a few weeks ago so I figured I'd buy the latest and greatest. The Flip 2 was always impressive. The compact size, build, epic sound quality, and volume of sound from such a small package. When I purchased the Flip 5, it is way bigger and more impressive looking than its predecessor. I was expecting much better performance, unfortunately that was not going to be the case. To begin with, the storage case is just a big hunk of Styrofoam. No neat, smooth looking shell like the Flip 2. After hooking up my phone and selecting different types of music, The Flip 5 just doesn't have the robust sound of its predecessor. What's worse, is there is no option to customize the sound directly, without having to download an app separately. The sound is adequate, and more or less clear, but it does have a lingering cabinet effect, also the volume just doesn't quite stack up. The appearance is probably the strongest quality. Very cool exterior, quality paint and build. I think appearance-wise, it is very nice, but the most important thing is the sound, and it's just not quite there. Very disappointing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as a part of JBL backstage program. I took some time to write the review because I wanted to test the speaker in different environments.
Overall, excellent sound.
I would improve the bass a little bit, but for the size, no complaints.
Also, big heads up to the designer. The ECO portable case is excellent to take it to the beach or just the pool. I love it.
And the colors this version was released, new, fresh.
Perfect!!

Fantastic Sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the JBL Flip 5 Eco Edition a couple of weeks ago to evaluate it. The sound output is incredible 360 degrees. The controls for the power and volume were easy to press because they were raised buttons. You can also add adiional bass and this does not distort the sound at all. The Flip 5 Eco Edition performs well in the shower and in the pool. The sound was not affected when I put the speaker in the pool. My music was crystal clear and others also liked the clarity. The sound is comprable to the same size Bose and Beats speakers. The water resistant feature is a plus.
