Music playtime: up to 12 hours (varies by volume level and audio content).Battery type: Lithium-ion Polymer 17.28Wh (Equivalent to 3.6V 4800mAh).If they bundled the Flip 5 with a nice carry case, it would be even better. If those two drawbacks aren’t a problem for you, then I can wholeheartedly recommend the new JBL Flip 5 as a great little travel speaker.
Unfortunately, JBL has dropped support for connecting an auxiliary analog device and has changed the multi-speaker protocol from Connect+ to PartyBoost, which makes it incompatible with earlier JBL multi-speaker devices. This latest version sounds better than the previous and it’s ideal for all sorts of outdoor activities as well as being an excellent kitchen or bathroom speaker.

Verdict: The JBL Flip 5 is a great little Bluetooth speaker that packs a considerable punch and is both rugged and waterproof. Apart from some standard ideal features, the major upgrades are the type-c charging port, RMS output improvement, and 4800 mAh long-lasting battery. I’ve not been able to find out the reason for the change but I do think it might hack off long-term customers who’ve already invested in JBL speakers. JBL Flip 5 is the upgraded version of Flip 4, as there are only a few changes that take place. I don’t know why JBL has changed the wireless protocol again and I can’t believe it’s to make people buy new JBL speakers because I simply don’t believe JBL is that cynical. If you want to create a stereo set up or have multiple speakers playing the same music, they’ll need to be Flip 5 speakers or models that are compatible with PartyBoost. JBL Connect has now been replaced by JBL PartyBoost. That’s still possible with the new Flip 5 but it won’t work with older JBL speakers that use JBL’s Connect+ protocol. It was possible to link up two JBL Flip 4s and have them playing as a mini stereo system. One of the beauties of JBL’s wireless speakers is their ability to be joined with other compatible speakers to make a stereo pair. With its rugged features and waterproof rating, the JBL Flip 5 is ideal for a picnic on the beach. JBL has chosen to stick with the older Bluetooth 4.2 version rather than the latest 5.0, although that may not bother too many people. You only need to do this once and then every time you switch the Flip 5 on it looks for your smartphone and connects by emitting an audible chime to let you know that it’s ready to go. Pairing the Flip 5 to a smartphone is very simple just press the Bluetooth button on the back of the speaker and search for JBL Flip 5 on the list of discoverable devices in your smartphone’s Bluetooth control. I’m not sure why JBL dropped this feature but maybe it has something to do with the IPX7 waterproof rating. This may matter to some people as the previous models were great for making phone calls around a table while on holiday so everyone could hear and be heard at the same time. One other thing I should point out is that, unlike previous JBL speakers, the Flip 5 can’t work as a Bluetooth speakerphone as it doesn’t have a microphone for making phone calls or issuing commands to a voice assistant. The Flip 5 is available in a range of 11 colors, including camouflage.
