After a little over a year of use, the bluetooth no longer works. It powers on and off normally with all the usual sounds but when on, only the power button lights up, the bluetooth button neither lights up nor works at all. I've tried all the different types of restarts and combinations of button pressing to no avail. From what I've seen online is that there isn't much of a fix but maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This newer JBL flip 5 is much louder then the flip 4 when I compared them. It also has more bass. And now it's a little bigger then the 4. The flip 5 also now has a usb type C port vs the older model not having this type. What I don't like that made me give 4 stars is the fact they took away the speaker feature that let's you use it as a speaker phone and the alexa feature. It also looks tougher then the 4 if you was to drop it. This one has a waterproof of IPX7 and a battery life of 12 hours playtime which is great. But besides that I think it's a nice Improvement over the flip 4.

Very high quality audio from the speaker. Better than any I've had before. speakers a good shape so can be sat on any surface quite easily whilst also being easily portable. Great speaker.
