I love the personalized aspect of the speaker. We used a precious family photo that brings us great joy every time we see it. There is a problem with the speaker cutting in and out at times. I have to shut down all of the permissions in the apps so they don't interfere with the phone doing phone things. I have to make sure it's only being used as a speaker. Also, wifi in my location is always dicy sometimes I need to run the phone on the data link. Overall, I love the stunning bass response and great quality of the sound. Still glad I got it even though I have trouble with it at times. It could be just related to where I live.

The Flip 5 does more than just get the job done: it’s intelligently designed, sounds terrific, and is exceedingly easy to use. While there are a ton of decent Bluetooth speakers available for less cash if you want stellar design and sound quality, the Flip 5 is worth the investment.

Excellent sound, Rugged & water-resistant, Multiple color options
