JBL Flip 5
When it upgraded the Flip 4 in 2020 to produce this Flip 5, JBL binned the analogue aux-in port and the microphone to make this a pared-down Bluetooth (4.2) speaker – albeit one with a USB-C charging port and cable. This port allows a charging time of 2.5 hours – an hour quicker than the Flip 4. Battery life remains unchanged at a claimed 12 hours.
Waterproof test
JBL claims the Flip 5 is waterproof to an IPX7 rating.
