I agonize over some purchases. Sparing you the details of my lifelong love affair with sound, After 6 months i settled on the JBL Flip 5. (It fits in a bike water bottle cage) Then I discovered the customization feature on the JBL site. Well. Now. I had to do a play on old-school xmas wrapping paper that used to send my bro in law into a fit. Then, i got a huge surprise during the first listen. Oh my. This thing is pure. Right now it’s streaming Funky Friday on xpn. Yes, my JM labs and n.a.d. sound a bit better, but can they ride a bike? Nope. Amazing.
Like the sound of the neighbors, got to use a friends, so I bought my own and it works great right out of the box. Just got it today and have enjoyed it for a couple hours this evening. Can't wait to try to connect with the neighbors tomorrow and see if the stereo works as advertised.
I've had this about 6-7 months, used it maybe dozen times now the battery doesn't charge.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I ordered the Flip 5 at the suggestion of a friend who has one and love it. It’s even better with being able to personalize it. The sync feature between speakers is AMAZING. It’s as if you have surround sound, pending on where they’re placed. It was also a custom a
I bought the JBL Flip 5 as well as the Bose Soundlink Mini II as a comparison and was blown away by the quality of this speaker. Side by side, the JBL had much better bass (louder and cleaner), picked up more unique sounds, and was able to be played louder than the Bose. Add the cheaper price of the JBL as well as its waterproof rating and it's a no-brainer.
