Video Transcript:
On the outside, there aren't a lot of differences between the JBL Flip 5 and the JBL Flip 4. The Flip 5 is slightly larger, they're both covered in the same material, and they both have the same 12-hour battery life. The biggest difference on the outside is that the JBL Flip 4 receives power through a micro-USB cable and has a 3.5-millimeter audio port, while the JBL Flip 5 ditched the 3.5-millimeter audio port and charges through an exposed USB-C port. From a software perspective there are a few more differences, the biggest being that the Flip 5 doesn't include voice assistant integration, a mic and can't be used as a speakerphone -- all features the Flip 4 has. Also, the Flip 4 uses JBL Connect+ to connect multiple JBL speakers together (as long as they have JBL Connect+), while the JBL Flip 5 connects multiple JBL speakers together using a feature called PartyBoost -- as long as those other JBL speakers have the PartyBoost feature. Things get a bit more interesting as you dig into the hardware differences. JBL made improvements to the 1-inch passive radiators on the JBL Flip 5 that give the bass pumped out by the portable Bluetooth speaker more punch. Additionally, the Flip 5 only has one 20-watt sound driver, while the JBL Flip 4 has two 8-watt drivers.
Now let's do a sound test where we'll listen to 30 seconds of four different types of songs on each device at a volume level of roughly 80 percent to test how each speaker handles high, mid, and low tones at higher volumes.

so i recently started my youtube channel doing bass test of jbl speakers and stuff because they are easy and can get a lot of views, but i want a speaker that can connect to others, but i love the passive radiator and single woofer on flip 5, its all really down to which one has more excursion on the passive radiators, if you cant help me i understand because you don't push your speakers to play at max volume lfm, i have a s10e so i can connect them together even without connect plus but it lowers the volume when you do, so if you could help me that would be great

I'm in doubt between flip 4 and flip 5. I've seen many reports that the flip 4 after a year of use, the batery simply stops working. I'm afraid to buy flip 4 because of this, is it better to invest a little more money to buy flip 5? (which I believe won't have this same problem). ( If there are any errors in the text, I'm sorry, I do not speak English)

Seems like the Flip 5 is a major step down / backwards from the Flip 4. 1) No aux / 3.5 input port 2) No speaker phone capability as it has no mic ( !!? ) 3) No Bluetooth 5.0 ! 4) Exposed micro-usb charging port... waterproof? 5) One driver, so mono sound. The Flip 4 has dual driver stereo. I wouldn't touch the Flip 5... nor should you.

Both are really good, but the Flip 4 is better for me for it's stereo. But nothing other reason. I don't need 3,5 Jack, Bluetooth 5.0 etc. Just a good, not too expensive, but great *stereo* speaker.

@@GeorgeGiann I am a pro musician. If you take two hi end studio monitors and put them at less than 1.5 meters distance you will strugle to hear any decent stereo separation. There is a lot of technical and hardware requirements to get a stereo sound. All this talk about stereo in a 20 centimeter box with tiny drivers ( and probably without any functional crossover) is beyond ridiculous. What you do hear in Go 2 is the same what I hear in my Go 3.....tiny box. Mono or stereo has nothing to do with it. After Go 3 when I connect to Flip 5 (still mono) Flip sounds like symphony orchestra is around me ;)

@gregmedbourn5347 5 жыл бұрын
The Flip 5 is not worth it... For me and so many other's we're fustraded with JBL for not making them stereo pairable... That's a major problem... What I did was instead of spending $99 for the flip 5. I bought 2 flip 4 at ($60) each.. But be smart in doing so Amazon and eBay have several flip 4 (JBL) refebished at $60 including shipping.. They look brand new... I called JBL and they said they have a lot of inventory when customer's bought it and return them mainly cause the flip 5 is now available... So theses are basically brand-new at $60 each.. So for $20 More get (2)) Flip 4's and listen to them in stereo mode.. It's 1,000 % better !!! Also the flip 4 has the mic in them... Jbl dropped the ball with not including the stereo and mic set up..... Good luck and be smart with your dollars..
