Should you buy the JBL Flip 5?

Күн бұрын

The Flip 5 is a worthy successor to the Flip 4 and if you're going to be heading out for a weekend trip or just going to the backyard, these are definitely worth the asking price.

I have not had any issues watching KZfaq, Netflix or any other streaming service through the speaker. There’s no lag whatsoever. The battery life though is only good if I have it playing low or medium volume. I can get through an entire 8 hour shift. But if I’m blasting it at max volume, I get maybe 4 to 4 and a half hours. It’s still a good speaker for the price.

I can say, I do enjoy the speakers and I do connect the two so its louder and does sound good when I'm working and I put 1on bothsides of the room. My issue is I do feel the audio quality did drop off my first one after about 3 months and when I first used my new one it did sound better. It's not horrible but I did notice it automatically. Still worth the purchases

Owned the Flip 4 new since it came out, used it literally every day as a remote speaker for my laptop at work and simultaneously as a hand-free speaker for my phone. After watching this video and looking at the comparisons to the newer Flip 5 and can't see the logic in "upgrading" to less feature and overall same audio performance.

I don't see it mentioned much in reviews, but the flip 5 will connect in stereo if you have 2, which makes a much clearer sound. It also makes it so you can have the volume a little lower. I bought 2 flip 5s a few months ago and love them.

I bought the charge 4 waterproof/resistant. The are pretty cool and decent sound but the app disconnects from party mode/ stereo when I connect 2 together so one speaker drops out. The battery lasts a long time. The app itself is primitive and kinda sucks. Some songs do sound better than others and there is no equalizer. I put one at each end of a room and they are pretty good really.
