Good portable unit

Love it. My Hubby has one also. When they are both paired to the same music device, it gives us surround sound. Its awesome and its a powerful little unit. Great investment :D

Great bass and sound

JBL’s Flip 5 is a simple soul with Bluetooth-only playback and modest features, but if you desire a rugged, great-sounding portable speaker and can sacrifice voice control or hands-free call functionality, you won’t be disappointed.

Engaging; entertaining sound; Easy to use; USB-C Fast Charging

No 3.5mm input; No mic for hands-free calls; ‘Only’ Bluetooth 4.2

Killer portable party speaker

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

This popular pick has a slightly larger driver size and power output than its previous model. Although the Flip 5 doesn't feature a mic for hands-free calling and has no 3.5mm jack for aux audio, it boasts a IPX7 waterproof rating and purported 12 hour battery life.
