I was expecting perhaps too much of an increase in performance over the flip 4. The flip 5 sound really good for the size. But to me, about the same as the 4. I was surprised to learn that the “party mode” won’t work between the flip 4 and 5. It’s called connect+ on the 4 and won’t work with the 5’s “party mode”. I wish the range of the party mode was a bit larger as well. The connection between flip5’s would start to degrade at about 20 feet with absolutely nothing in the way. Overall, this is an awesome bluetooth speaker for it size.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got this as a gift for my husband and he absolutely loves. He’s like a five year old with his favorite toy, taking it everywhere. I mean everywhere- thank god it’s waterproof or else the shower would have killed it. Despite using it all day, he hasn’t drained the battery yet. Just sports radio. All. Day. Long. (Really my only regret.) Definitely worth every penny.
Great sound, loud and clear. Pairs easily with my Echo
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got this speaker last week and am obsessed! The sand color is really nice. Beautiful sturdy design all around. Most of all, the sound! THE SOUND!! Amazing. Just the one is enough to fill my 1,700 sq ft apartment with club like bass. So happy I got this!
