Background

The JBL Flip 5 is a portable bluetooth speaker from the Flip series by JBL It’s known for its compact design yet powerful sound performance. It was released in August 2019 and displayed itself as a significant upgrade from its predecessor. It has a rechargeable battery that allows holders to enjoy music anywhere with no need to be near a power source. It’s known for its iconic durable waterproof design and promoted a 30 minute water immersion. The JBL Flip 5 holds a USB-C port as well as the PartyBoost feature that allows syncing for multiple speakers.

The JBL Flip 5 was well received in the global market with its starting price at$99.95, a price that isn’t over the top for portable bluetooth speakers. The reviews JBL Flip 5 received were generally positive praising the device on quality and durability. The only note some people took was the compatibility with the older models for PartyBoost as well as the absence of the 3.5mm audio input. The JBL Flip 5 has had no major recalls or widespread issues reported during its release and has only been given praise for its troubleshooting and innovative concepts from its predecessor.

The JBL Flip 5 is a 7.12 inch tall cylinder-shaped speaker. It has four buttons on its honeycomb mesh speaker to play/pause, increase/decrease volume, and a party boost button. It is slightly smaller and available in more colors than the JBL Flip 4, and has a small JBL logo on the opposite side of the power and bluetooth buttons. To find the serial number on the JBL Flip 5, look where the strap attaches to the speaker. There should be a small white sticker there.
