Having the right audio companion can transform how I enjoy my favorite music. The JBL - Flip 5 Portable Bluetooth Speaker brings any genre of music to life with unparalleled convenience and clarity. This speaker checks all the boxes: sound quality, connectivity, battery life, water resistance, input support, portability, durability and ease of use.

"Excellent sound, portability and unity"
this is my third JBL Portable. Found no need to adventure outside of this pattern of purchases as of yet and it's been 10 years of JBL portables, with the exception of 1 Bose portable *(Decently comparable tbh but JBL is more rugged) Previous two were charge variants (only difference is they can charge your devices) decided there is enough juice to go around. So I opted for this little guy. Still Not disappointed. Plus with the infinity "secret button" you can link up tons of other jbl portables to the same source input signal. (app controlled who gets it and first one to initiate the swarm link)
Disclaimer the only difference between the flip 5 and 6 is the 6 can have a universal equalizer that will automatically tune whatever platform you're using. (as long as the platform supports it) that and it has a little hump thingy to help it stop rolling. Cometics are obvious. Definitely recommend.
Hope this helped :p

This speaker is SO good! This brand has always been one of the best speaker brands I know, so when I saw this product at Best Buy I knew I immediately had to buy it. This is a purchase you will not regret, not only the monetary value but also the fact that it’s such a comfortable speaker to go around with, the battery life is excellent, the volume has such a wide range. I use it to play calming music when I’m studying, so for college students it really is helpful, if you live with a roommate that is noisy this is AMAZING hahahaha!

Great speaker, gets the job done. Battery life last 12 hours if music isn’t played as loud but if you play music on full volume the battery life lasts for around 6 hours maybe a little bit less. Overall worth it for the price and quality of the sound.

Superb sound for the price. It’s relatively small, but don’t let that fool you; it packs a big punch. JBL is a great brand for portable Bluetooth speakers. I highly recommend this product.

If you want great sound look no further. If you're looking for frills, the previous version may be better for you, however the flip 5 has a better sound. There's no distortion whatsoever when volume is at maximum. The bass is nice, sound crisp, great flavors of colors, small so it can go anywhere with you and it's waterproof. I highly recommend the flip 5. With this baby by your side, you are the party. I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed, I know I'm not.
