This is a great speakers some of the best bang for your buck... the negative side is the usb connection is terrible.. after you insert the charger when you have it for awhile it ,the connection is terrible and you have to go an invent something so you can get it to charge ..it’s never the cord...And last is connecting the speakers so you get the surround sound is always a difficult ..it almost never syncs ....but I still will buy another one
Why, after using this new Flip 5 three or four times would it stop charging or playing? No light when plugged in. Dead as a doornail.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was going to buy the JBL Flip 4 because it was cheaper and had stereo sound, but USB-C was very important to me. I'm disappointed that it's so expensive and doesn't have stereo sound or Bluetooth 5.0. However, the battery life is amazing, I can get 18+ Hours of listening at 25% volume, which is loud enough for most uses. Overall, it's a very good speaker, but it had so much potential to be the perfect speaker.
I have a JBL flip 3 , JBL flip 4 and just bought a JBL flip 5 none of them pair with each other , just fair warning to people have bought these , JBL there is no sense of downloading an app haven't found one that works yet for pairing the devices together.
