I use a wheelchair because of a car accident, and play music as I "drive" my chair for two reasons: First, I always had music going in my car. If my chair is to be my car now, I still want music. Second, I got hit by a driver in San Antonio. They weren't looking. Texas drivers are an especially wild breed. Crisp, clear music played reasonably loud as I go down the street provides increased visibility, so I'm safer. I've had several people ask, "Is that great sound coming from that little speaker?" The loop is great for hanging on a bracket--no muss, no fuss, no one stealing my speaker. I also use my Flip 5 whenever I workout in the pool. Once, my husband and I were dancing in the pool (it's the only place I'm able to dance now) with the speaker playing, and I looked around. Every other couple in the pool had begun dancing, and a couple was dancing on the sidewalk! I do wish it didn't distort when I play it at top volume, but hopefully JBL will fix that. The charge life is great. My Flip 5 plays for 10-14 hours on a charge. I love not having to worry about getting caught in a Texas storm because it's waterproof.
This speaker arrived today and I couldn’t be happier. It packs a big punch for such a small device. Beats listening to music on the ol’ iPad “speaker.”
It was time to upgrade from my JBL flip 3 to a customized JBL FLIF 5. There really is a difference from the 2 in terms of sounds. My new one is clearer and less muffled than my 3. The customization is perfect because I use my speakers at work during surgery so since I have my name on it, noone can steal it lol.
Strange how the flip 5 has less features than the flip 4? No eight inch input on the flip 5?!

This JBL5 speaker has wonderful sound and love the camo color. I receive so many compliments on it. I had a Bose before I bought the JBL and I do have to say that the JBL has much more better sound than the Bose
