Good Value, Great Sound, Easy to Use and Loaded With Additional Features

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2023

Color: BlueVerified Purchase

I own 3 Flip 5s and use them all in multiple environments. We got rid of our HOME STEREO SYSTEM years ago and replaced it with Bluetooth speakers. I invested in a Bose system which cost hundreds of dollars. A year ago after using the Bose for about 5 years, I bought my first two Flip 5s. Granted the system they replaced was a bit old but the JBL's sounded every bit as good as the Bose for a fraction of the price. I use a single Flip 5 for my CAR AUDIO. Yes, the dynamic range is not as good as a quality car sound system but for what I listed to, its great. I teach AEROBIC CLASSES at a couple of health clubs in my area and use a pair of Flip 5s for my music tracks. The fact that they can be easily synced together in stereo, makes them perfect. They are not lacking in volume at all. The two speaker conveniently fit in my gym bag. The ONLY DRAWBACK is their dynamic balance. Mid range predominates the highs and lows. This is especially evident with vocals mixed out in front of the rest of the mix. The bass is good for a Bluetooth speaker, same for the high-end. i.e., Percussion is crisp and doesn't roll off until the higher frequencies range. I have found to enhance the bass, it the speaker is placed in a corner, the base is deeper and comes out louder. A note here, the Flip 6 version of the JBL Bluetooth lineup has an equalizer which allows the listener to set a much flatter frequency curve. OVERALL the Flip 5 is a great value for what it delivers! I own 3 of them.

Great Speakers, Frustrating App,

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2024

Color: BlueVerified Purchase

02-07-2024 Update:

After multiple contacts with JBL Support, they were able to fix the JBL Portable app to allow for stereo playback on the Flip 5 speakers. Bravo! I still find the app to be clunky, but workable.

Original review:

I purchased 3 of these speakers over time, because they claim to be able to be used in stereo as well as “Party Mode”. Party mode allows for multiple speakers (more than 2) to be connected to play music (non-stereo).

I installed the JBL Portable app to my iphone after purchasing my first speaker. It seemed to have no functionality at all. Not even an option to configure stereo or party mode.

After purchasing a second speaker, (for stereo), the first annoyance is the included ridiculous universal picto-style instructions, that don’t really tell you how to connect the speakers together in party mode. There is no info on stereo connection provided at all. I then went to the JBL web site. The downloadable instructions are the same worthless info included in the box. I did a web search for instructions. JBL does provide instructions on how to connect 2 speakers for stereo, using the JBL Portable App.

I downloaded the JBL Portable app again. This time it allowed me to change the Bluetooth name for the speakers. This updated app also looked like it actually had a purpose, but I was wrong. It does nothing else useful. It will not simultaneously connect to two speakers. It just toggles back and forth between the two speakers, endlessly asking me to connect a speaker. It never gives any option for stereo or party mode. Trash-Ware!

The instructions provided by JBL on their website for stereo connection do not work and the app does not function properly.

I recently purchased a third speaker for use in a larger meeting room. Again, the app was useless beyond allowing me to rename the speakers.

I scrapped the app and spent 30 minutes trying to manually get 3 speakers connected for “Party Mode”. I finally figured out the proper sequence of turning things on and pressing buttons to get 3 speakers playing together. Two speaker, true “Stereo Mode”, just doesn’t work.

I finally tried removing and re-installing the app. Same garbage app. So I’m stuck with playing mono on 1-3 speakers.

Adding insult to injury, the JBL speaker models are not cross compatible for stereo. So Flip 5 speakers will not work with Flip 4 or Flip 6 speakers in stereo mode. So if one of your JBL speakers goes bad, and that model is no longer available, you cannot purchase a newer or older model to get going in stereo again.

The engineers did a great job on the hardware. The speakers sound great for their size. Unfortunately this was crippled with useless software, that doesn’t seem tested, and just does not work.
