What this speaker does

The JBL Flip 5 is a portable Bluetooth speaker built for outdoor use. Its racetrack-shaped driver and passive radiators produce bold sound with noticeable bass from a compact enclosure. Wireless streaming works with phones, tablets and other Bluetooth devices up to 10 meters away. The IPX7 rating means it survives immersion in water up to three feet deep.

Battery life and durability

A full charge delivers up to 12 hours of continuous playback, so the music lasts through a full day outside. The speaker weighs 1.6 lb and measures 3.64 x 3.6 x 8.5 in, making it easy to carry or slip onto a wrist. Durable fabric and rugged rubber housing protect the internals from knocks, dust and splashes during transport.

PartyBoost pairing and colour choice

PartyBoost lets you link two compatible speakers for stereo sound or connect multiple units for louder output across a larger area. Eleven distinct colour options are available, including this Blue model, so buyers can match the speaker to personal style or coordinate a set. No app installation or extra cables are required to use the pairing feature.

Questions about this item

How do I set up the Flip 5 and what step is often missed?

Pair it via Bluetooth within 10 meters of your device; the step often missed is pressing the Bluetooth button until the LED flashes to make the speaker discoverable.

What part will need replacement after extended use?

The built-in rechargeable battery is the only component that ages; once it no longer holds a full 12-hour charge the speaker must be serviced.

What is the first limitation I will hit during a long outdoor session?

The 12-hour battery limit is reached before the IPX7 waterproof rating or the 10-meter Bluetooth range become factors.
