JBL Flip 5 Review - The Good And The Bad

[@kruzombie]

I just got one and hella happy with it!

[@babybluemushu]

Thanx for the review! Buying this for my Hubby for Father's Day!

[@bradprather6749]

Nice review. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 I received mine yesterday, and you're dead on. The sound is incredible for a speaker this size, and it is very simple to use. Thanks.

[@bilgehancomert5890]

I ordered one too!

[@babyboy1971]

I’m looking for a relatively inexpensive and small speaker that will work in my tiny living room and is portable if needed, and I’m thinking of getting two of these to pair in stereo. Do you think that would sound good? A pair? Would it be stereo?

[@bfinera]

Two sound really nice. Small living room.. should be more than enough. Enjoy.. yes 2 are stereo

[@johnmoreno5965]

I play it at full power with low frequency on both my flip 5's

[@bigupbassline58]

only one of the three versions of the flip 5 floats

[@shelleyjepson243]

I have 3 of these speakers - one has static and cuts out - I tried your Factory Reset - but it is still breaking up - and it is right next to my phone so distance isn't the issue...

[@Slaytanik.]

I was listening to SLAYER on the flip 5 and thought there was a bit too much bass.

[@djdatkidd9859]

By lil uzi vert?

[@natesguns5264]

That’s good???

[@therandomytchannel4318]

I usually play EDM tunes like Tiesto and Armin van Buren compilations 🎶 and I have no issue with the bass. It is perfect!! Makes my room sound like a nightclub 🎉

Скажите пожалуйста Звук пропал вообще И не ищет Блютуз Что делать как быть ...

[@fastrunner364]

And you can also partboost Jbl xtreme 3 and Jbl pulse 4 and boombox 2

[@thespkrYT]

Oh, you seem to have the CS model Flip 5 because it floats.... TL sounds better tho ;)

[@soumen8624]

thespkr. Agree

[@lilbump406]

This is a TL version look at 00.26 It's listed on the box. Maybe he did not leave it in the water long enough???

[@butigino]

Thanks for the comment! I will probably do a video in the future comparing the different models.

[@milchpulverkakao4917]

Elliott Hart the tl version doesnt swim at all only the gg version floats a bit

[@lilbump406]

@@milchpulverkakao4917 Understood..... but the box says it's a TL version???? It should not float????

The *Flip 4* is still the best speaker in the JBL Flip line-up without any doubt, though the Flip 5 sounds marginally better... less bright. I got mine in India for $91 in November 2019 but the price went up to $110 after that and has pretty much remained there. (In India) The reason is, while the Flip 5 sounds good, it is not better... in fact it is a major step backwards. . The Flip 4 is stereo, the Flip 5 is mono. . The Flip 4 has a mic, it is an excellent speaker phone. The 5 doesn't have a mic! . The Flip 4 also has a bass boosting feature. Press the Bluetooth and the Volume down button for about 10 seconds and you enter Extra Bass Mode. . The Flip 4 ports are covered with a watertight flap. The 5 has them exposed. How waterproof can that be? . Flip 4 has a 3.5mm / Aux In port. The 5 doesnt! Though it is BT 4. The Flip 4 has a bright sound and a very tight bass and open mids. (I reduce the treble a tad, with my phone's eq, just a small step and it sounds perfect. For speech and muffled recordings, it is crystal clear as is. It also has 2 active drivers and 2 passive bass radiators. The Flip 5 has one active driver, however it charges via type C, sounds good and looks as good as the 4, though slightly larger. The 3.5 aux input is essential for watching video without lag / latency. This speaker is a perfect blend of sound and size, portability, compatibility, style and ruggedness. It has an IPX7 rating and it lives up to it. Battery life is fine, not great, for either. The price, at $90 is fair. And if you can by any chance place it in a corner, it blows the lid off much larger speakers! This is a small speaker you will fall in love with, can carry around and never tire of! 4/5*. 1/2 off for the average battery and 1/2 off for being a fraction too bright. Flip 4 rules! **** 😊 _

[@Ignacio.Romero]

You're talking a bunch of nonsense, you can't hear the stereo separation on the Flip 4 with drivers separated by just a couple of centimeters. It also doesn't have an extra bass mode, doing that button combination will only disable the DSP (something you can do on all JBL speakers, including the Flip 5) and will actually sound worse, with less bass. The Flip 4 has a flap for the charging port because it's cheaper to make as opposed to the waterproof USB Type C on the Flip 5, which is just as waterproof as all the water resistant phones with exposed ports. Micro USB used on the Flip 4 is outdated tech, and the design is also outdated compared to the Flip 5 using the more modern, rounded JBL's design language such as in the passive radiators, it also has better battery life. In terms of sound quality, the Flip 4 has nonexistent bass that sounds pale compared to the Flip 5 that manages that while also being louder. So no, the best Flip is not the 4 but the 5, soon to be dethroned by the Flip 6

[@OdemilUyan]

Is it louder than JBL Pulse 4? How loud is it?

[@Gerandom8489]

no flip 5 and pulse 4 are both 20 watts (both same loudness)

[@bigupbassline58]

you rickrolled us

[@BlueMoonLightDreams]

HOW LONG DOES THE BATTERY ON THE FLIP 5 LASTS IF I USE IT AT FULL VOLUME?? PS. I did not watched the video

[@bigupbassline58]

Add a public comment...

[@girsomvelev64]

The type C is not a function but rather natural evolution! Therefore, it can't be used as marketing feature!

[@mocross1234]

Someone know the songs in this video?

[@jevelsonmadarcos5106]

6:39 on and on But if you want to know them all, just download shazam... It will tell you what song is playing in the background.

[@coolsquad7428]

Does it sound better then the sony xb 22

[@butigino]

Personally I like it better because there is just a bit more bass. Overall they are very similar though.

[@coolsquad7428]

Modern Accessory Review ooo you should do a sony xb22 vs the jbl flip 5 and actually you should start vs series with like speakers and other things

[@baltimore-maryland2347]

Hope the JBL flip 6 getts 24 watts

[@junequill8617]

I paid 65 american dollars for iras JBL flip 5 with my colville percap

[@fastrunner364]

I think I will get xtreme 2

[@kumarnarayanan109]

[@johnlira3316]

[@itschvlly3578]

[@BaruaaaH]

If it floats then bass is bad and that's a fact so I'll not buy the black one

[@kimmeyhunte9395]

It floats for a while but it'll sink especially when music is playing
