Product Q&A

I bought two Flip 5 speakers to put in my Gazebo and play music in STEREO. I have only been able to use the app to put them in stereo mode 1 time in dozens of attempts. Please give tips to troubleshoot stereo mode and do a firmware update on the app.

Asked by: Roodog22
I have same issue....the sync between the two speakers worked once and never again. Please let me know when there's a fix....kind of crappy when you buy the product specifically for this functionality.

Can you play music from an Alexa through the jbl flip? 

Asked by: Lauren321
I think JBL misunderstood your question. If you are asking if you can use a flip 5 as your bluetooth speaker for your Alexa, the answer is yes. I have 2 paired with my Alexa for a stereo set. Works great

why did you do this no mic and also you cant pair my flip4 thanks a lot jbl all you want is more money

Asked by: bob 12
I know JBL needs to stop "improving" with newer systems to connect their speakers. If I were them, they should stop at partyboost, and as of now partyboost is ONLY compatible with flip 5s

Can you charge the speaker and play music through it at the same time?

Asked by: them
Yes you can. Our JBL Speakers will charge while playing and once it's fully charged, it won't use the battery power and will just use the power from the outlet, keeping the battery safe from harm.

I am looking to get this JBL flip 5 for my bedroom but my phone has got to stay downstairs, does anyone know how far a phone has to be near the speaker for it to play music?? Nora

Asked by: nora09
To avoid signal interference, please note that Our Flip 5 has a maximum Bluetooth range of 10 - 15 meters, with no large objects blocking the line of sight. A distance farther than that would pose signal deterioration.

What kind of USB charger is required to charge the Flip5? Is it a 5V/3A one? How long does it need to be charged first time round?

Asked by: Shanina
Thanks for your question. You would have to get a 5V/3A charging adapter so your JBL Flip 5 could get a full charge within 2.5 to 3 hours. For first time charging, it should be okay as long as the speaker gets fully charged.

What is the difference between the Flip 5 and Flip 4 to justify the extra $20. 5 has an output of 20 RMS and the 4 has 2x8, and I don't know what that means.

Asked by: Steven70
JBL Flip 5 has a single dynamic driver that provides more power/ volume than it's predecessor, Flip 4. RMS is the wattage or indicator that shows the volume the speaker is capable of outputting. We've worked on improving stable wireless connectivity with our Flip 5 via Bluetooth technology.

Why does my Bluetooth not turn on anymore? Can’t make any connection to my device. I’ve already tried many options offered by the website.

Asked by: Jasion28
Try doing a reset to see if it helps. To reset, turn on your speaker then press and hold both Volume+ and Play buttons until it shuts off by itself. Once done, test it again.
