The Flip 5 is a great speaker for anyone who wants an outdoor speaker that can handle any environment. It’s splash-proof and waterproof, so you can take it anywhere you go. Plus, the rubberized end caps make it easy to grip and keep your speaker safe from scratches.
There are also three other buttons on the front of the player. These are the power button, the eject button, and the media control button. The power button is used to turn on or off the player, while the eject button is used to remove any media from the player. The media control button lets you change how music plays on the player, including turning it off and on.
The JBL Portable app (iOS/Android) lets you adjust the sound on your Flip 5 speaker, as well as activate PartyBoost mode if you have other JBL speakers that are compatible with it. ..
To use PartyBoost, click the dedicated PartyBoost button on the speaker. Then you can pair a second JBL speaker for stereo sound or just to add more life to your party. If you often need a second speaker for your parties, it might be worth investing in the JBL Boombox or the UE Hyperboom, both huge speakers that let you join the party with ease.
The JBL Flip 5 is a great music player that can play music continuously for 12 hours. However, this claim is not quite true. In our test, we managed 9 hours and 27 minutes, which isn’t bad, but doesn’t quite come close to the claimed 12 hours. Still, that is more than enough for an average day at the beach or a good day hike.
