   The media could not be loaded.  Okay listen, I waited two months between the time I decided I wanted to get a speaker and when I actually got it. I wanted to be sure I actually wanted/needed it & since I’m not much of a tech person I wanted to educate myself & do research because I was debating between this one and the JBL CHARGE 4.I decided to go for this one & I am so so so glad I did!! The sound quality is amazing, (crisp and clear) even when you go the loudest it does not sound muffled or lose sound clarity whatsoever. The battery life is amazing, JBL FLIP 5 (this one) lasts 12 hours & only takes 2.5 hours to charge. The JBL CHARGE 4 does last 18 hours I think? But it takes 5 hours to charge. Besides, 1. I don’t see the need for 18 hours unless you’re a wild party animal that doesn’t sleep 2. Ain’t nobody got time for wait 5 hours for a charge.The color I chose is the pink which I am absolutely happy with!! (See pics and video for reference to color & size. My gosh the size. It’s perfect. For ya desk, ya shower, ya backpack, ya car!! So easy to carry with you ANYWHERE. It’s light but also has tough mesh and quality build.It is one of the best purchases I have ever made. Honestly. $120 bucks for something like this? You’re definitely getting your bucks worth. It’s perfect!!

   Easily the best purchase I have ever made. I was skeptical but this little thing exceeded my expectations by far over 1000 percent.Astounding quality, gorgeous color, and the sound quality is extraordinary.If you really want to test thing out, play something by Billie Eilish, the base is incredible. 5/5 stars.

   The media could not be loaded.  The speaker itself is really loud. As you can see in the video, I barely have this turned up and the speakers on the side are bouncing. Changing the song forward is really easy, just push the play button twice (double tap). The only thing you can’t do is change it back. I can have my phone away and I’m still able to turn the volume up or down with just pushing the buttons of the speaker. You’ll see that I have a case on my speaker, it’s the RichSmile Silicone Carrying Travel Case for JBL FLIP 5 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker. Even with the case on, it doesn’t alter the sound that comes out of this thing. I haven’t tested the waterproof on this however, I have taken this at the beach and in the mountains and the sound on this is amazing. Easy to connect to either types of phones and even tablets. Really am amazed with the sound quality on this speaker.

   After reading a handful of reviews that were based on people upset about emotional aspects of the speaker… ie it won’t connect to their flip 4 speakers. Whatever. I looked past that and am glad I went with the 5. The sound quality is superb. The bass response is indeed superior to the 4 as well as the battery life. At the same price point of 100 dollars its a no brainer. The Flip 5 is a superior model in all aspects. This speaker far, far exceeded my expectations. This speaker is stupid loud – and crisp at that. I work in an automotive shop and I keep my volume at 25% in my station. Phenomenal sound, phenomenal quality, could not be happier. I highly recommend.

   The media could not be loaded.  I got this speaker because my car speakers no longer work. And this speaker sounds better than my car speakers ever did! I was expecting more of a blush pink, this is definitely a mauve color, but I actually REALLY love it. And as a pink lover, I’m not disappointed in the least. In my picture are a few other Amazon ordered items that are pink and kinda what I was expecting, but again I do still love the color and I am picky about my pinks. My sister has the flip 4 and the sound is great on that, but I feel like this Flip 5 does go louder. But I am not going to test it that much cause no reason to blow the roof off the house. A few reviews have said that the Flip 4 has better sound. I just want people to be aware of the Partyboost feature it’s the ♾ button. It makes the sound a little more clear and loud. But honestly, I have had speakers that actually made my music quieter than actually playing it from my phone. I say when you get this speaker, it’ll meet your expectations and then some.

   This is my first Bluetooth speaker and I’m really enjoying it. I downloaded the JBL app, it was super easy to connect to my phone, and I use Spotify normally as I would, but I choose the Flip speaker as the sound output. Super easy and a lot of fun.It fits nicely in my bike water bottle cage. I am using the Profile Designs Kage, this bottle cage completely surrounds a bottle (or the speaker).

   This little speaker packs a punch!! I drive a truck over the road and some of the different company trucks get crap signal. This thing has been a lifesaver for music!!! It’s loud even with the windows down in the rig. Wheather you listen to country music or rock, this thing plays with amazing quality.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I have not tested the waterproof aspect of the speaker yet but I’m so impressed with the sound quality/battery life that i gave it a 5 star across the board.

   I had a Flip 2 for about 7 years and decided to upgrade. The sound and quality on the 5 is far superior. The sound is clear, crisp, and clean. The quality is not lost at max volume which is LOUD. I keep it at about a quarter volume and it vibrates my desk. My favorite feature on the 5 is the idle shut off. I’m notorious for forgetting to turn the power off. So, this helps save battery life! The charging bar is also much easier to see on the 5. A solid window has replaced the 5 little blinking lights. The battery holds for at least 12 hours. I go my whole eight hour work day plus evenings as I fall asleep. If you are looking for high quality look no more. JBL is one of the best speakers on the market and their Flip Bluetooth speakers are no different!

    The media could not be loaded.  So far I love it. Have the flip 4 and charge 3 and this one out does both. It’s a bit bigger then the flip 4, but not much and has great balanced sound.
