JBL FLIP 5 Manual

In addition to having all of the same drivers as the Flip 5, the Flip 6 adds a separate 10-watt tweeter for better high-end clarity. Both speakers are compatible with JBL’s Partyboost feature, which allows the speakers to be synced with each other.

The JBL Boombox 2 is a better speaker than the JBL Flip 5. The Boombox has a more balanced sound profile, reproducing a more extended low-bass. It can get louder than the FLIP, and its battery lasts much longer. That being said, the FLIP has better directivity thanks to its 360-design.

The problem with the JBL at this point could be due to multiple reasons but most commonly, the decline in quality is caused by either overuse or playing music at too high of a volume. The only way to fix that is to replace the speaker completely.

Yes, it is alright to overcharge since it will stop charging at 100% battery.

When you plug in your JBL Go 2 to your power source, the LED indicator will blink red. It will only turn off when your speaker is fully charged and ready to go. The well distinct sounds accompanied by an LED indicator lets you know when your device is connected, fully charged, paired, or powered on.

Wake up on Bluetooth requires the device to be in a low power state (standby mode) for it to work. When our JBL Flip 5 powers off due to inactivity, it completely powers down so you’ll need to physically power it on again.

A JBL speaker blinking red indicates a low battery level. This may vary from one model to the other, but it is usually an indication that your speaker needs to be charged. The intensity and frequency of the flashing LED will be different for every JBL model.

Sometimes the battery or the circuit board of your speaker might be damaged. If the battery is damaged, the battery cannot hold charge long enough, and it keeps powering off. In some JBL models, it is easy to get a replacement battery, but for others, you will find it hard to get a replacement battery.

Power on your device.
Press and hold the play and the volume + buttons at the same time.
Maintain this position for about 5 secs.
The device will power off as it restores to the factory default.
Power on your Flip 5 again, and it will have restored to the factory default.

Make sure the volume of your computer isn’t set to mute. Close and re-open the audio playback app. Turn off the Bluetooth® function of your computer, and then turn it on again. Delete the speaker from the list of paired Bluetooth devices, and then pair it again.

JBL claims the Flip 5 is waterproof to an IPX7 rating. This means you should be able to submerge it in water at a depth of one metre for 30 minutes. There’s no cover for the USB-C charging port and though it is waterproofed, it isn’t tested against salt or sand ingress at the beach.

Yes, JBL speakers are repairable. However, you should first confirm whether your speaker is still within the warranty period. If yes, you can make a warranty request for JBL to fix or/and replace your malfunctioning speaker.
