Love this little water proof speaker. I also have the 4. Only gave it 4 stars because there is no way it plays 12 hours. Most I'm able to get is around 5 hours before it starts to shut off and you have to keep restarting it. Serves my purpose small, convenient, loud enough and love the attachable band.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned JBL portable speakers since the first Flip came out. I was impressed with the first edition and even more impressed with the Flip 5. Out of the box until fully cranking out tunes? Less than 2 minutes. Very easily pairs with my Galaxy S10 with no "bluetooth lag". The sound quality, both bass and treble, is outstanding. Turned it to maximum volume with a bass heavy song and no distortion. Tried it out with several different styles of music and it is consistently great. Also very clear for podcasts. It is water resistant as advertised. I put it in a sink fully submerged for 20 minutes and it worked just fine after. The speaker itself is light, but solidly built. I paired it with my Flip 4 and they sound great together. A full charge will last about 4-5 hours at moderate/heavy volume. I will be a JBL Flip owner as long as they keep making them so good!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Huge fan of this portable, mighty speaker... not to mention that it features eco-friendly material, it's waterproof, and carries enough bass-kick that doesn't disrupt the quality of the sound. The aesthetics are great and I've been using it daily since I got it. Highly recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an impressive speaker, and even more so for its size and price point. If you are looking for a speaker for a backyard party, outdoor movie night, or even to play music throughout your house, this is a good pick. The volume, sound range, and quality are impressive—and even more so if you put the speaker in a larger box or container or in the corner of the room to give it something to work with for the bass notes. For example, we put this in a clean recycling bin and connected my ipad to a projector for an outdoor movie night and some music, and the sound difference with the container was astounding. My audio engineer husband notes that some of the high notes and low notes cut out a little bit (compared to a much, much more expensive speaker with far more components), but most listeners (including me) won’t notice that at all. Overall, this is a small speaker (smaller than I expected from the pictures, even) with some big sound!
