As it happens, we’re pleasantly reminded of it instead. Had we not been so well acquainted with JBL’s penchant for sonic excellence, we’d be shocked how clear and musical this unassuming little speaker sounds. Whether we subject the mini speaker to Mac Miller’s languid-yet-sharp rapping or Explosions in the Sky’s post-rock instrumentalism, the JBL delivers it with stark clarity, lashings of detail and more than a hint of dynamics. Like a mutt suffering from small-dog-syndrome, the Flip 5 demands to be heard (the difference is, you'll actually want to hear it). That on-paper promise materializes in practice, too. The Flip 5, like so many of its siblings in JBL’s line-up, is well-built, impeccably finished and, with a simple button layout and handy battery indicator, very straightforward to use.
We can’t imagine JBL receives many returns for spoiled speakers within the warranty, though. The passive bass radiators at either end are recessed enough into the tubular housing to avoid easily damaging them, although we’d be cautious shoving it haphazardly into a bag carrying sharp or pointed objects.

Just half a kilo / one pound and the size of a small thermal flask, the compact yet robust Flip 5 can be easily carried in a hand, slipped into a bag or, thanks to the shoelace strap, hung on, say, a door handle in a bedroom or tree in a park.Īlready picturing your new portable speaker soundtracking your summer picnic?
