JBL FLIP 5, Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Black, Small

Our Experience

Upgraded from my old UE Wonderboom, I was impressed by the sheer volume boost in this JBL FLIP 5. It's a beast at max, perfect for outdoor parties or filling up my tiny apartment. The battery life is also excellent, lasting almost the whole weekend on a single charge.

However, I noticed it gets warm after extended use at high volumes. Not surprising given its size and power, but something to keep in mind if you're planning on marathon sessions. Other than that, it's been a solid upgrade from my old speaker, with better bass and a more robust build. The USB-C charging is a nice touch too!
