Product Overview

 This speaker delivers quite a punch for its size and price. Every new entry from JBL seems to deliver more bass depth than the dimensions and drivers should be capable of.

Design

This JBL FLIP 5 is cylindrical measuring 7.1 by 2.7 inches (HW) and weighs in at 1.2 pounds. This device is available in 14 different colour schemes, as well as a camouflage-themed design. you can also customize the grille on the speaker to display uploaded art or work with graphics JBL has on its site.

The port is uncovered, which makes the IPX7 rating more impressive. The speaker can be submerged up to a meter and can also handle all water pressure from a faucet, so it's perfect for poolside listening. It also has a lanyard loop, and the speaker ships with a shoelace-style lanyard, making it easy to hang on just about anything that can support its weight.

Controls

The controls are arrayed along with the grille in a row. There's a button for Partyboost (a feature that allows you to connect to various other JBL speakers and have them all stream the same music), volume up, volume down, and play/pause. On a thin strip of plastic on the back of the speaker, there's a power button, a Bluetooth pairing button, and a USB-C port for the included charging cable.

Performance

This Flip 5 delivers an impressive thump for its size. the bass doesn't distort at top volume levels, due to its Digital Signal Processing (DSP). At more moderate volumes, the bass depth sounds thicker, but this is not a speaker capable of producing subwoofer-like depth. It makes up for it by pushing out the lows and low-mids with the help of the passive radiators. Flip 5 gives you up to 12 hours of playtime.
