[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [Employee of harmanaudio] I have owed now for only a week, but I was blown away by the amount of sound this speaker was able to create. It's huge! Quality of sound was true JBL. An excellent that I'm very happy I made
It sounds great, but I really miss the microphone that was present in the Flip 4 - I use it a lot. This personalized Flip 5 is a gift for my mother, and I really wish it had the mic. I took it for granted because the Flip 4 had it - big mistake. It also doesn’t have aux input. And only 1 driver. Despite having more power, it feels like a downgrade from the Flip 4. It’s not bad, but it could have been way better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What an amazing piece of equipment. The sound quality is SO good! It fills a room with a great balance of bass and highs. It’s small enough you can take in anywhere. I bought a refurbished one, and the quality and sound is still great. The people and Harmon/JBL have done it again! I highly recommend this for the person who is active and is on the go a lot.
I had the Flip 3 for years so this is an upgrade. And as such, I like it. Works well, sounds great. Holds the battery life well. But very disappointed to discover it has its own specialized charging cord. It is no longer just a micro usb, it is some other kind of charging cable so yet another cord to keep track of. So that’s annoying.
