Works poorly with Mac
on July 15, 2020
Posted by: ToniV
from Lahti, Finland
Flip 5 works fine with an iPhone. The sound is good. But when you connect it to a Mac, problems start. You can't use any other bluetooth device, like a mouse, when the speaker is on and playing. Speaker starts cracking and drops connection. It seems that JBL Flip is using too much bluetooth bandwidth, and there is no setting to reduce it.
If you are going to use Flip 5 with a phone or tablet, it probably works fine. But if you think using it with a laptop too, forget Flip 5, and get an another speaker with an AUX connection. I now wish I did too.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from jbl.comBy Homer at Customer Support, Customer Support, July 17, 2020
Thanks for the honest feedback on our JBL Flip 5. We understand that the Bluetooth connection to your computer isn't satisfactory. From your description, it can be caused by how the computer prioritizes the Bluetooth connection, as evidenced by the fact that pairing to your phone is fine. Try pairing it to another Mac or Windows computer to double-check if this is isolated only to that particular computer. If it does appear isolated, then please reach out to the computer manufacturer to properly configure its settings. Otherwise, please reach out to our Customer Support to check your options. https://fi.jbl.com/support-contact.html

I purchased the custom flip 5 speaker as a gift for my son and he loves it! The speaker is easy to connect, sound quality is great, its material is durable and of good quality. The image on the custom speaker is clear. I have purchased another custom speaker for my other son bc he too liked the speaker.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love it! It sounds so good! I take it to the beach and it works good, the only thing I don’t like about it is if it overheats it dies quicker and it says it’s suppose to last 12 hours, at most if it’s hot it will last 7, but that’s still good
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cons:
-You can't adjust bass,treble, etc. using the JBL Connect app, but that has nothing to do with the speaker its more of a wish
