I waited and waited.....and waited for this speaker because I lost my Flip 4 and thought the Flip 5 would be around much earlier than late July. So it finally comes and it has Partyboost that is not backward compatible with Connect+. Now I'm finding out the two features and how they connect use different hardware to do so and therefore a firmware update is most likely not possible so that partyboost and connect+ will become compatible. Dont get me wrong this is a darn good speaker and the best in its category but... NOW I am gonna get another Flip 4 to pair with my Charge 4 so I can party Connect+ style instead of Partyboost style. And no Bluetooth 5.0?!? Coming from a big fan - shame on you JBL

Bought this a few weeks ago and really happy with it. The party mode is great and the sound is great. Excellent value too!

Suond is good but the blow at low volume is too much, insopportable if use the speaker insted of the pc's speaker. Silence is a sound and this speaker doesn't respect it. Furthmore when the speaker goes to deepsleep (after a second the signal goes down) generates a bad sound (like an amplifier when you remove the jack). A speaker has to be not just for "party" but has to create everything to appriciete sounds and music, and it fails!!!
