Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid Sound from Small Package I have been reviewing this speaker for about a week and a half. This speaker has a great sound which last all 8 hrs I was playing it and still had battery left. The speaker is really loud but does distort at top volume depending on music style. I really like the look of the red speaker as you can see in pictures. I was unable to try the waterproofing but sure it works just as all other features do. I feature I can't wait to try and most interesting is the Party Boost. To connect and stream to several speakers. I can't wait to hear that sound. Overall a great speaker with really good features and sound.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pint sized powerhouse I’ve had this thing for a couple weeks now and so far I love it! It charges up fairly quickly and the charge lasts almost all day. A round of golf and a barbecue after and it was still running strong. At low volume the sound is nice and full. At high volume some of the deep bass drops out but it still sounds great. This little speaker is louder than it looks too. It’s small enough to put right in a cup holder or there’s a lanyard on one end. I wish they’d put a lanyard fitting on each end at 90 degrees so you could hang it and it would face you like they do with the Extreme. And it’s waterproof! Now I need at least one more so I can link them in stereo with the JBL app. Well done JBL!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not impressed Have bought a total of 4 of JBL's flip speakers and a set of wireless headphones while the sound is good the fact is that they dont last very long they all stopped charging within 6 months and at 100 bucks a shot it's quite irritating to say the least my headphones quit charging in less than 3 months and were unreturnable so I was stuck with headphones that would show full charge only to be dead in less than 10 min. All of the flip speakers I purchased will show full charge and be dead in 15 min for the amount of money you pay for these things you would think they would last longer it's quite ridiculous!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Flip 5 vs flip 4 This newer JBL flip 5 is much louder then the flip 4 when I compared them. It also has more bass. And now it's a little bigger then the 4. The flip 5 also now has a usb type C port vs the older model not having this type. What I don't like that made me give 4 stars is the fact they took away the speaker feature that let's you use it as a speaker phone and the alexa feature. It also looks tougher then the 4 if you was to drop it. This one has a waterproof of IPX7 and a battery life of 12 hours playtime which is great. But besides that I think it's a nice Improvement over the flip 4.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Don't even know where to begin I purchased my first JBL Flip 5 black TL a while back. Had no complaints, loved it. One day it decides not to turn on and that was the end for that. So I decide to purchase a JBL Flip 5 white CS speaker. Not as great sounding and so I'm returning it. Then I purchase a JBL Flip 5 pink GG and it works for a few hours and dies on me like the black TL. Number 1, why would JBL make different versions of the same model affecting sound quality and durability which can be clearly heard and seen and Number 2, why have 2 out of 3 JBL Flip 5's died on me. I demand an explanation and a refund. I used to love JBL and now they are giving me reasons to not purchase any of their products again.

Product Q&A

Hello, why does my jbl flip 5 turns off itself after few seconds of turning on. What can I do to solve this? It started a month after I bought it 

Asked by: Mimi_mimi
Mine was doing the exact same thing. Then I realized it just needed to be charged. Now it it plays until it dies again or when I turn it off.

Can the JBL FLIP5 connect to a laptop computer?

Asked by: Pat 2021
You can play ONE Flip 5 speaker, but if there is a way to play two in either Party Boost or Stereo from a PC, I sure cannot figure it out. Have tried quite a few things. I DO NOT understand why JBL does not provide instructions on how to do this. Unless you can't do it and they want you to buy two speakers and find that out later.

Is JBL PartyBoost compatible with JBL Connect+?

My brand new JBL Flip 5 connects easily to my mobile phone, but we just simply can not pair with any computers (PC, Mac), it is being recognized, it says it is being connected and then it just fails to be paired. Any ideas, please?

Asked by: BalázsS
I took it to a service and they solved the problem :) It seemed that somehow my PC asked for a pin code (as it didn't recognize my JBL Flip 5 as a Bluetooth loudspeaker but rather as a smart device, e.g. a smartphone). The service technician pressed the Bluetooth button on the speaker to override this and then it could simply connect.

Will PartyBoost work with Connect+?

Asked by: Matthew7
Hi, Contacted Harman and they've said partyboost is not compatible with connect +. Was waiting for the Flip 5, however now purchased another Flip 4. Not sure if they will have an "over the air" update like the charge 3 (connect to connect +) at a later date?

Asked by: dev282828

I am a cyclist and like to listen to music while riding my bike. Does the Flip 5 fit in a bicycle water bottle holder? If not, what is a good option?

Thanks for your question. The dimensions of our JBL Flip 5 are as follows: Dimensions (cm) - 18.1 x 6.9 x 7.4 Dimensions (in) - 7.1 x 2.7 x 2.9. You may check from other sellers and retailers for bottle holders that may fit the Flip 5. We can also recommend our JBL Wind 2 which is designed to be mounted on bicycles.
