Experiencing static from my portable jbl

Asked by: JeanJ
We're sorry to hear about what happened. Here are some troubleshooting steps for us to check your JBL Flip 5: 1. Please avoid placing the speaker where there could be wireless interference ex. Wifi routers, because this can cause static noise. 2. Try using a different music player and if you're using an equalizer, turn it off. 3. Try to pair the speaker to a different source ex. 99phone, tablet) for us to check if you'll experience the same problem using a different device. You may also reset the speaker to check if this can help fix the problem: While the unit is On, press Volume + and Phone (Play) button at the same time for 2-3 seconds until the unit turns off. It has now been restored to factory default settings. If the problem persists, please contact us so we can check your options: https://support.jbl.com/us/en/#contact

If any JBL product is used in the "bypass mode," does that void the warranty of all damages or only the ones from the bypass mode? Does using this mode void warranty from other sellers such as Best Buy?

Asked by: Semi811
Using a JBL Product in "Bypass mode" voids the warranty of all damages made in the product and voids the manufacturer's warranty. Retailer warranty will be on their discretion of the damage made.

How can I tell how much charge the speaker has? When is the charging indicator supposed to be lit and when should it be dark? Mine currently is always dark except when it's charging and right when it turns on. But then the light goes away.

Asked by: Anonymous
The battery indicator is never always on. It lights up whenever you plug it in to charge, turn the speaker on, or whenever you press a button.

Does this have the voice assistance just like the flip 4 ?

Asked by: Jeff Trippin
Hi there, the new Flip 5 does not include the internal microphone. Due to the overwhelming response we received from customers complaining about the music stopping when a phone call was received from their connected device, our product designers decided to remove the internal microphone to prevent this from happening. Because the microphone was removed, voice assistant is no longer possible. Please follow us for news and updates.

I understand this does not act as a speakerphone. But if I am listening to music via Bluetooth from my iPhone, will the speaker ring? I need to leave Bluetooth on as I use it in the car, but do not want the speaker to ring if I am called.

The JBL Flip 5 will not ring when a call comes since it doesn't have the speakerphone capability. The notification and call will go through your phone. If you have more questions, please reach out to our Customer Support. https://www.jbl.com/support-contact.html

Asked by: Gold
Hi there, thanks for the question. Our JBL Charge 4 features a proprietary developed driver and two JBL Bass Radiators that intensify sound with strong deep bass and you can also charge your devices with it as well such as your smartphone. You can also connect the Charge 4 to other JBL speakers that have the JBL Connect+ feature built-in.
