JBL flip 5 GG v CS v TL versions - get the right model number!

[@1nterpreter]

I was torn between TL and GG versions of Charge 4. In the end, after seeing some reviews and reading some comments I got a green GG. Wasn’t sure about the color, but it was the only one GG in the store. The GG has a plastic driver, the TL a paper one. According to some reviewers the TL version sometimes distorts the sound on high volume. There is some mechanical rattle going on. And it seems like the GG considered to be more durable in rough conditions.

[@alanrossreviews]

im happy with my tl :)

[@1nterpreter]

Alan Ross Reviews you’re making great reviews. I wonder how come you have so small amount of subscribers. I guess that’s because most people like to see more like a show, not a detailed review with “boring” diagrams and explanations. They don’t really care about the sound quality in general, they just want to know which speaker has more bass and is louder.

[@alanrossreviews]

i think im doing ok with getting for 4k subs :) basically im doing this as an enjoyable hobby and every subscriber is a nice bonus to me. Thanks for the comments anyway but it really doesnt matter 🙂

[@jasons285]

TL, in fact, sounds better than GG while it does distort at high volume, but at least not ear-hurting as the GG version

[@1nterpreter]

@@jasons285 I sold it and bought a TL flip 5. Charge 4 is too big for my purposes.

[@jamesmichaelramos4705]

what the f. glad i drop on your channel. i was bothered by other people saying about i got the cs,gg,or tl. i said to myself wtf are they talking ablout. i know only flip 3 flip 4 flip 5. not the versions. then i research about it. you tube drop me to your channel. so i grab my box look at the serial a little bit scred at first then baammm! i got the tl version. i'm glad i got tl version. i know it doesnt affect that much but the point difference for me is good. thank you for that informative vlog. new sub here. Godbless!

if you got the cs you would not be happy, big difference between them. you won the jbl lottery 👍

Me too I got a bit scared after watching this, i didnt know there was different versions, so I checked and turns out I got the TL version aswell

You just leveled up, you have reached "Detective" class, Alan! I don't know how you produce such quality videos and don't have more subscriber's. Thanks for all you do, I don't buy any of these speakers but I watch all your videos because they are so interesting.

[@alanrossreviews]

haha! i feel like a detective sometimes 👍

[@draculu]

So glad I found this review, found so many different reviews and opinions on this speaker and they all probably have different versions of this speaker. Will definitely go in shop to check the serial numbers before I buy it. Thanks for the clarification, I subbed!

[@juliansimmons7700]

I ordered the Flip 5 in GREY, from Amazon UK, just arrived, it's a GG version.

[@toasted_bagel59]

I was gonna type separate comments but i might as well type it all. Prepare for a lot of reading 😅. Firstly, i think by now there are 6 different flip 5 models: GG,TL,CS,TT,GT,and CN with CN being the Newest im pretty sure. unfortunately if you go to stores currently almost every new jbl speaker is either GT or TT for example the flip 6 and any flip 5's if they are still even in production. The go 3 is usually NT or CN although I have a pulse 4 that's NT. I actually had a white GG around 3 years ago which is kinda rare since the CS is usually white. I dont have it anymore but now i have a teal TT. As for it being unfortunate,I think the newer GT and TT models have weaker Drivers and Passive radiators, or either the amplifier is now more powerful.The TT is similar to the TL but the cone is more of a matte/ more "raw" paper while TL kinda has a slight coating. Also the TT/TL drivers are a little smaller and have a different metal basket shape compared to GG and CS. GG models have issues with the spider(suspension). TT models get extremely hot around the driver it actually almost burnt me(this only happens when DSP is turned off of course). This is probably the same with GT. I also notice the battery life of the TT model is worse than previous models. This type of problem happens with all jbl speakers. As newer models are made of the same speaker, they tend to get worse in my opinion.maybe JBL is making then worse on purpose to push you to get the new speakers like the flip 6, or maybe they are more focused on the development of new speakers, so as production continues for older speakers the quality isnt top priority anymore but rather the priority is for the flip 6,go4,extreme 4,etc.Also,if you are wondering how to tell the age of your speaker you can tell by the second set of letters. For example your GG is GG-GJ. Theres a manufacturing date chart somewhere online but me and a few of my friends have the image. GJ would be July 2019. my TT is TT-GM so it's July 2022. The first set of letters(GG,CS,TL) determine where the speaker was made. GG,TL CS models are manufactured in china, and the newer TT,GT, and CN models are manufactured in Vietnam

[@alanrossreviews]

awesome information, thank you 👍

[@johnsonmcbig9157]

Recently decided on buying another Flip 5 for stereo. My current flip 5 is a black TL, so I was looking to get a white TL. So far I've gone to two stores and all the whites are CS. Probably going to have to go with the Navy Blue, unfortunately. Thank you for making this video.

[@alanrossreviews]

i think the reds are also tl.

[@johnsonmcbig9157]

@@alanrossreviews Yeah the Reds I saw were TL, but not really into the color, it's way too flashy for me.

[@johnsonmcbig9157]

@Name Unidentified Na they're not, one of the TL's at the store was navy blue. Doesn't really matter now though, I returned the second Flip 5 because it was a pain in the ass to deal with the stereo pairing and the app. Probably going to get myself 2 wonderboom 2's since they don't rely on an app to use stereo.

[@johnsonmcbig9157]

@Name Unidentified watch Flossy Carter's video, he pairs it with the button on the speaker. There's no app for the wonderboom. The flip 5 won't pair in stereo without the app, unlike the wonderboom which does everything without an app.

I got mine(CS) today delivered, without knowing the existence of versions. Now, I'm thinking wether go back to the store to change for TL version.....

[@G.I.Csonka]

It would be good to go after the JBL Flip 5 stereo settings. If you buy two of them they sound much better than one (I suggest to buy them in pairs) as we know already thanks to Alan and I absolutely confirm that. Unfortunately when two of them paired in PartyBoost you get them in mono mode. The JBLandroid app theoretically can switch into stereo, but it does not. Maybe Apple app works, but I cannot check that. It would be good to find a key press solution that sets two flip 5s into stereo mode.

[@alanrossreviews]

only pair one of the flip 5s with the phone. start up one then connect the app to that flip 5. once the power bar shows startup the second flip 5/ press the partyboost button on both. now you should be able to switch to stereo in app.

[@xsparky0168]

@@alanrossreviews THAT IS SADLY THE HARSH TRUTH :(

[@knorfr]

Yes it is, red, forest green, yellow and camouflage Charge 4s are almost always GG (like I have), and the pink, blue, teal and grey are usually TL. Black and white are mixed 50/50 I believe. You don’t actually need to check, because I have got the answer :p GG is more durable and just completely waterproof, whilst TL has a paper driver and thus has a standard airleak, because the air can just go through the woofer. Also, the passive bassradiator on the GG moves less, because the rubber that holds the radiator in place, is a lot tougher then on TL. If you want to have it to listen music on high volumes a lot, I would recommend TL. Although I just basically said that GG is “better”. TL has a punchier bass and better mids. For a person like me (I do JBL blowouts and upload it :p), I would recommend GG if you want to abuse the “low frequency mode”, which disables the bass limiter. I have a GG, as you can see in my profile picture haha. I am planning on buying a TL in the future though, because it pops very loud in low frequency mode at higher volumes and has a massive passive radiator movement. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although I might not have an answer. And also, it doesn’t hurt me to check out my channel hahah

[@thespkrYT]

Hello Alan, I subscribed and activated the bell because your videos are just so awesome to watch! I found out that white Flip 5s are ONLY CS and grey Flip 5s are TL. Black Flip 5s are TL, GG and CS and I actually got me a white Flip 5 and I actually wanted a black one and because I have to wash my Flip 5 sometimes because of my OCD and the CS plastic driver was the way to go but the TL really had an awesome sound so is the paper driver of TL and GG really waterproof??? I'm not so sure.... The GG sounded really terrible in my own tests (treble waay too much and no bass) but the TL sounded a little bit muddy so... Isn't the CS the best one because the plastic driver and the balanced out sound (bass like TL and treble like GG)???? I am shocked that JBL is doing this to their customers.... I am actually happy now with my white Flip 5! Alright Alan, have a very very nice day or night!

[@lilbump406]

Hmmm...In my area I've only seen the teal color Flip 5 in the GG model only.

[@alanrossreviews]

i can only tell you my expereince with my three versions, whether there is lots of sample variation i dont know. they all have a big high end roll off plus recessed mids which means they are never going to sound the clearest of speakers but for me the TL was the best of the bunch. they are all waterproof yes. cs does not have a balanced sound from my own experience. actually none of them have a balanced sound, they have jbl tuning which means these days a smiley face response but the flip 5 also has big high end roll off.

[@thespkrYT]

Alan Ross Reviews Hello Alan, I now have a black GG JBL Flip 5 and I hope that I get a red TL to connect them and compare them and yes the CS really sounded terrible and I am now really really happy about my GG I have no idea why I thought it sounded terrible lol so yeah I'm really happy now... I just have to charge it now lol

Are you going to open a laptop and comapre the sounds in a house party or are you going to enjoy good music and good sound and dance and drink. For that kind of fun they all gonna be the same. So screw cl tl gg and all.

If you are deaf, correct, you wont hear a difference 🤪

@@alanrossreviews we are a normal human being so we dont dig on that. Only nerds do these frequency detective shits. No one is gonna listen to a speaker and comment on those subtle differences. May be we can tell differences in cheap chinese speakers and good brand ones, but among flips and among charge of jbl, only nerds are gonna keep finding that. Nerd who dont get invited to parties would probably have time for that. But I know you are doing your job, what you're supposed to do. And my comment was not for you actually. It was for all those wanna be audiophiles. I dont know why are you getting frustrated and replying me back rudely. Anyways. You must also agree these thing really dont matter in day to day normal listeners. For real audiophiles they do matter I know.

[@alanrossreviews]

maybe because you didnt give an opinion, you stated you was simply right. I am to know who you aimed that at? actually i disagree with nearly everything you said. these reviews are for everyone, i give the information i would personally want. What on earth is the point commenting that its pointless? and then saying my reply is rude. do you think only your opinion counts? every comment you have made has been negative. if you dont like what i do why are you still here??

[@narendrairengbam112]

@@alanrossreviews I said for most normal people who buy these speakers for listening music for enjoyment, for party, for family and friends. These subtle frequency variations and the differences among the same series or collections of the same company, all these things are not going to matter at all. I think you also agree on that. There was nothing wrong in my statement, generally speaking. Or, are you saying that it will matter and every person who buy these speaker will need to go through these variations? My statement sort of sounded like it was meant for you, that is pretty much why you are offended. I say again, it was for the generally masses, I said it casually and it stands true for most common people. I know you are doing this for the ones who acrually care about these differencesa dn you did a great job, you made a big effort no doubt. Forget all these, most people go merely for the brand name itself, leave sound spectrums aside.

[@alanrossreviews]

as i said, my videos are for me. i want that information and thats why i do it. i still disagree with your assertion. there are a significant number of people who follow my channel for those very same subtle frequency differences. you have to remember people watch these videos BEFORE buying. whether or not they can hear a difference in the real world does not matter. they want to be informed on differences between speakers before purchase. thats my real world sampling, where is your own data coming from?

I have a red flip 5 and it says TT on that little sticker by the cord. Wierd, right. Speaker archeology, right on.

[@frankcrawford416]

Yah, just double checked with a magnifying glass and mine says TT. I wonder where the TT fits in among the other 3 versions.

[@grandtheftgameryt]

They should just use the same material on all of them. At the end of the day you pay a large sum of money for the speaker, you should get the same value for money. Hope you understand. These different versions are pointless. They should all float, should all use the same driver.

[@alanrossreviews]

yup! why do they do this with all their speakers??

[@grandtheftgameryt]

@@alanrossreviews I think they do it because of the different factories. I think they have one in China and one in Mexico or something like that. Still no excuse as to why they use different drivers, and some sound better than others. I’m with you, why do we need so many model numbers, in which some sound really bad compared to others.

[@alanrossreviews]

right but i dont get why different factories use different materials and on such a scale.

[@grandtheftgameryt]

@@alanrossreviews 100% agree. I don’t know if many other companies that do this never mind a company which is already a selling their products for a large sum of money.

So are you implying that the final verdict is absolutely get the TL? I am really interested to know because I don't want to waste my money. Is this the same for the charge speakers as well the charge 4?

My father has a Flip5 (GG). I was so impressed, I bought one myself. But fiinally holding my own Flip5 in hands - my favorite songs, which I know very well, sound just different and not as warm as I was used to. It just drove me crazy. I told my husband over and over again that something was off. We put both boxes next to each other, listening to our favorite songs, immediatly noticing the difference. We checked the new box, it's "CN". We are no nerds, and I could tell after 3 seconds of listening which one was which and which one was the "warmer" box with more bass. I am really happy and thankful that I have found this video because I thought I was going crazy and there was no way I would get a good Flip5 again. We are now heading to the store to search for another GG - thank you so much for your effort --- great content!

[@alanrossreviews]

sadly JBL do this with all their speakers 😂
