Sound Quality
I really like the sound quality! Wish the speaker would stay charged longer, but other than that, the sound quality is pretty good for this little speaker

Great sound!
This Bluetooth speaker is affordable for the quality. Has really clear and loud sound. This gets louder than my $500 Bluetooth speaker that was something I swore by for years. I will recommend this over and over. Plus, to have color options is a huge plus! Haven’t tried pairing to other JBL speakers yet but that is definitely a selling point that is valuable.

AMAZING
This speaker is awesome. I bought it for my daughters grad party outside. We put it on our top deck and it sounded like a full stereo system. The base on this thing is amasing. I left it outside last weekend on our deck and forgot about it. It stormed the next night and i found it out there on Monday and I was so mad at myself. Im listening to it right now and this thing is great! Buy it! The boom is awesome! Buy it!

Amazing sound, portable and sleek bluetooth speakers
We got three of these little JBL speakers for throwing events, and couldn’t be happier. In the past, we’ve set up a big, bulky sound system that was neither waterproof, nor easy to set up/tear down, but since we’re musicians and sound engineers, we wanted something that could actually provide high quality sound for an event. My brother has Sonos, but it’s super expensive and I thought the sound was only so-so. As musicians, we’ve had JBLs for years, so when I got on Amazon and saw these, I knew we had to try them. We placed them outdoors on wall hanging stands (Amazon has a bunch,) placed just above head level for good coverage. We had each one covering, roughly, 1,000 sqft area, and the crispness of the speaker and bass responsiveness was perfect. The only down side is that each speaker must be paired with its own bluetooth compatible device, (so 2 speakers can’t run off of one iPhone or iPad,) and there didn’t seem to be any way to network the speakers, so this is something to keep in mind. Otherwise, though, for the price, this is hard to beat.

Quality and reliability
I was pleased with sound quality, ease of use, design, and simple setup. I would highly reccomend this item. I am also happy that it has a long run time and a high number of recharges. I am looking forward to using it at the beach without having to wonder how long it will stay playing and seeing the charge meter , indicating how much charge is left. We use a speaker up to 6 hours in a day and the two we were using never held up for that long and did not provide the sound quality this one offers.

Great sound, doesn’t run quite as long as advertised
For a small speaker, this is great for small spaces. OR, if you just need quiet background music, is great for large spaces, even outdoors. It is certainly loud enough to annoy others at the beach if that’s your goal, but I wouldn’t use it to fill a back yard party. I got no where near 12 hours of use out of a charge, but I did get 7 so it’s still more than enough for most needs.

Great product, compact, and has really good sound quality. Charge lasts a while and blue tooth connectivity was insanely quick and easy.One downfall, was shipping stickers were placed over the SKU# making it kind of a pain to register the product.

Might be small but awesome speaker!!!
My husband bought one of these JBL flip 5 Bluetooth speakers when he was out of town working so his work crew could listen to music while working. Well when he came home I borrowed his to take to work, I am a nurse at a small nursing home and my residents love to listen to music they will come out of their rooms and sit at their doorways so they can hear my music from my flip 5 speaker that I sit on top of my med cart in the hallway and all my residents can hear such great quality music from such a little device. I will even dance in the hallway with them even if they are in wheelchairs or can stand. It is amazing what some good peppy music does for even the elderly people, I can see their whole attitudes change and the smiles on their faces are priceless. One resident that recently passed away from COVID, was sitting in her doorway months ago as I had my flip 5 on and music playing and I asked her who was her favorite musician or song and I like to fell out when this elderly Caucasian female said Michael Jackson and song was Billie Jean so I looked it up on my phone and played it for her and she was in a wheelchair but she still patted her foot to the music and tapped her hand and fingers on her table and at times I could hear her singing along and this made me so happy to do this for her we had a great time that Sunday afternoon and a memory I will never forget This awesome little cute speaker charges up quickly just a few hours and good to go and I have used mine for a whole 8 plus shift even if not playing music it would still be on and I have yet to hear any low battery beeps etc. My husband loves that they are waterproof because of him working outside in the dirt and rain. He said what sold him on buying one for him was a friend he worked with had one also and forgot his hanging on the basket on a line truck and the next morning he got it and had dirt and mud on it so he took it over to the water hose and washed it off and all the dirt and mud can completely off and the water didn’t do anything to this flip 5 speaker he shook it as dry as he could get it then hung it back on his bucket on his line truck and turned it on and worked just as good as before. I say if u love music and love even sharing music with others this little speaker is highly recommended by me and my husband. It is simple to connect to his and my iPhones. The buttons on the speakers are very easy to press and can be easily seen on the speaker. Also the volume can be adjusted by my iPhone volume buttons too. It makes the cutest sound when connecting to my phone which tells me is is connected. Never had an issue with it disconnecting for no reason. The range is good that is the range that my cell phone is from the speaker never had an issue with that I play music on it and put my cell in my scrub pocket and I am up and down the hallways and in rooms with doors closed and music keeps playing. I can’t think of one problem/issue or complaint about this JBL flip 5 speaker. Worth the money and my residents appreciate me spending this small amount of money for them to have some happiness in their day and I do too. My husband bought his from a person advertising a used one wanting to sell when he was up north working I think he bought his for $50 dollars but I always use my Amazon prime so in case I don’t like something I buy or have an issue I can return free and free 2 day shipping. And not very much more did I pay here for mine. I got pink and it is a pale pink not bright pink. I like it. I don’t know if my managers at the nursing home that I work at would care or not about me playing music over my speaker but even if they did I would probably still sneak and do it because of the reactions I get from my elderly confused residents the smiles on their faces is why I would go against what a manager tells me not to do and do it anyway. These residents don’t get much joy to be honest esp since COVID and isolation since middle of March 2020. They are depressed because they can not see (except through a closed window in their rooms) and can not touch their loved ones we that work there and love everyone of our residents don’t replace the touch and hugs ans kisses they would be getting from the people they love the most in this world their children and grandchildren and even great grandchildren we have had residents pass away and they and their families haven’t seen or touched since COVID and these are precious memories they can never get back it is depressing to me and I play music to keep all our minds off this depressing situation we are in right now and this little speaker helps me do this and is powerful enough to be heard from my med cart all the way down hallways and inside rooms. So even the residents that are bedridden can still hear some good music. So if u like good quality sound that can come from a small well built Bluetooth speaker that won’t break your wallet then please buy this one. It also has a rope handle that my husband uses to hang his off the side of his bucket and it be out of his way. He is a lineman and stands in a bucket with limited room up high off the ground sometimes all day long so the rope handle is strong enough to hang this Light weight speaker from a hook and no worries of it breaking. Also I have accidentally dropped my speaker out of my nursing bad onto the cement floor in the nursing home and scared me because I would have been sick if it had broke my awesome speaker but turned it on and worked as usual I dropped it outside in the parking lot and no issues. Hope my review helps you realize this speaker is a good buy and u will be happy u did buy this one. Thanks

REALLY surprised by this speaker
I can’t believe how good the sound is. I bought a JBL extreme portable speaker some time ago and loved it, so I decided to give this smaller speaker a shot when I needed something for music in my office and my expectations are definitely exceeded. Great bass, easy pairing – it’s an all around excellent purchase.

Intermittent
The speaker started to interrupt speech and is making clicks in the middle of music. I’m only getting some of what people say. It’s intermittent. So, what’s causing that? Is my JBL Bluetooth Speaker defective? Is there a fix for this? Do I need to replace it? Let me know.

Best Portable Bluetooth Speaker Out…
I have 2 now for myself, one for home and now one for work and I have given many out to family for Christmas gifts and no one and I mean no one has ever complained about this speaker, because there is nothing to not like about this speaker. The sound quality and the ease of working this speaker is top notch. Strong and durable as well.

I like that you can link these to other JBL speakers to have multiple speakers playing at the same time. You need the JBL portable app though to do it.

Amazing sound
Ok so in the past I have bought speakers that were less expensive but the reviews always said good or excellent bass……. But the sound quality of these less expensive speakers never sounded that good. Not bad but not as good as I would have liked. So I thought I’m going to spend a little more money and buy myself a name brand quality Bluetooth speaker. I researched Bose and JBL speakers and settled on this one. I couldn’t be more happy with the sounds coming out of this speaker. Bass you can feel in your chest. Mid-tones and treble perfectly matched to the bass. Do not hesitate to buy this speaker. It’s worth every penny you will spend on it.

VERY high quality, I recommend!
This little speaker puts out the best sound of anything I have ever owned, and I have had a lot of speakers. I take this over Bose for sound quality. I use this speaker indoors and outdoors all the time and the battery lasts quite a long time, too. I recommend, and I would definitely but another.

Great sound
This is a great little speaker that I’ve had for going on four years, it travels well it’s lightweight. The battery lasts a long time. My only complaint is, I wish that I can see the battery life in the upper corner of my iPhone, many of my other Bluetooth devices will Show the battery life here, this particular device only shows you the battery percentage via a LED bar while charging.

Great sound and durable enough to withstand abuse from a teenage boy!
My son wanted this to use when he’s playing sports with his friends. Needless to say teenage boys are not exactly gentle with their possessions. This speaker not only sounds great, but it has already endured months of outdoor use at playing fields. Very happy with this purchase so far!

Wonderful Sound…
Let me begin by saying that I am not a bells and whistles type person. my focus is the quality I receive from a product I purchase. When I purchase a car, I could care less if the seats heat up or if it’s slick and flashy. Those things are nice, but my goal is to not have to constantly take my vehicle for repairs after I’ve finished making the payments. So, I don’t care that this speaker doesn’t light-up or have bells and whistles. What I like about this speaker is that the sound is awesome. I was pleasantly surprised that a speaker this small could pack such a big punch. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the sound and the quality. I opted to pay a couple of dollars more and purchase the black, since it will be used outdoors. Try it. If you don’t like it, you can always return it.

Absolutely worth every penny
I’ve trusted JBL for sound for years. When looking for a small portable blew tooth speaker for by the pool, this is exactly what I was looking for. Absolutely loud and clear enough for crisp sound. Well worth the money!!
