Review: Flippin' Good! - Wanted to upgrade a stereo pair of little Sony SRS-XB10's that have been working faultlessly in my conservatory for two years. Straight out of their boxes, (having paired only the left Flip with my phone & using party boost to link them)) they sounded amazing, with plenty of tight, dynamic bass, although the treble was a bit harsh, but the party boost only seemed to produce a mono effect, so I installed the JBL Portable app to get stereo. This terrible app is very basic & could not find the speakers if they were already switched on. After some experimentation, I discovered a solution. 1. Make sure both speakers are off & your phone's bluetooth is on. 2. Launch the JBL app. 3 Switch on left speaker, (it pairs in a couple of seconds) & press party boost. 4. Switch on right speaker. JBL app should see both speakers. 5. Press party boost when instructed in the app & set stereo in app. Play music to confirm stereo. Close app. From now on you don't need the app. Now, when switching on, make sure phone's bluetooth is on, switch on left speaker, press party boost, switch on right speaker, press party boost & Hey Presto Stereo! Bit of a long-winded description, but hope it's useful. You don't need the app if you only want mono, Just switch on left speaker, press party boost & repeat on right speaker. OK, I'm not claiming they're hi-fi as such, but they're certainly fun to listen to & draw you into the music, whatever the genre. I have to say I agree with the What Hi-Fi review. The harsh treble is now smoother after a few days use. Amazing how good a stereo pair can sound. So far, I have charged them once, using wall chargers rated at 1amp, (they took around two & a half hours) & they are showing about three quarters full after seven or eight hours use at half volume. I haven't used them outside yet, tried video sync or chucked them in a bowl of water! UPDATE 16th June 2021: Charging time is just under 2 hours & batteries last around 15 to 16 hours at 25 to 50% volume. The left runs out before the right as it transmits the signal to the right. I use them about 10 feet apart indoors & they also sound excellent on the patio about 15 feet apart. Still very happy with them. 2nd UPDATE 10th September 2021: Still very happy, enjoying them even more. Discovered after a lot of listening that they sound even better placed as far apart as possible, (but not in the corners) facing straight, (not toed in) & lying flat. Batteries seem to average out around 8 to 10 hours at 50% volume. Harsh treble now much smoother.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone owned tribit stormbox？how is it compared with flip 5?**
A: flip 5 better than 4

**Q: How is this different to the flip4**
A: It's a clearer sound, yes, but there are some other differences that might make a difference on you decision. 1) unlike Flip4, Flip5 doesn't have the build in mic as its predecessor, meaning you cannot use it for calls, only audio from cellphone/Ipad or computer. 2) the pairing of more than one speaker is subjected to its generation, meaning you won't be able to pair Flip5 with Flip4 speakers (or any other speaker from that previous generation, such as Charge 3, for instance).
Keep in mind that the sound quality is indeed very good, with very good balanced bass. 
But I am truly disappointed with the product, as it simply do not meet my basic requirements of use for a portable speaker. There are options from other brands that will do basically the same without compromising your user experience just so you are obliged to buy the newest model.

**Q: Is gift wrap available?**
A: yep

**Q: What port does this come with? usb-c or micro usb?**
A: USB type C and it’s a decent long cable as well

Great product very Happy

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple, Powerful Speaker with Excellent Build Quality
*by N***N on 15 March 2021*

While scant on features this speaker delivers rich, detailed sound with a naturally bassy profile - which personally suits my tastes. I make electronic music and due to circumstance this is my only monitor atm, yet it has enough depth and range to use professionally or casually imho. Really solid and tight construction. Reassuringly weighty with powerful little subs in either end. Charges fast and lasts ages on a full refill. This thing can also get really loud before the sound starts to distort. The bass can shake the room. Highly recommended and worth the money for anybody looking for a simple, powerful speaker to use on the go or at home.
