Review on ๐ŸŽต JBL Flip 5 Pair of Blue Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers by Kiril Veronikov แ Œ

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I will never make this purchase again.

If anything, this is the original, bought for 6k in the amazon, so do not think that I bought a cheap fake. I advise you to think 200 times before buying this column. Different pros: 1) Good bass, passives work. 2) Holds a charge well (at a relatively quiet volume, I have enough hours for 30). Got cons: 1) Terrible sound, just disgusting. I had enough experience with flip3, it was even more or less, so I decided to buy my own speaker, so I went to look at the new generations of jblek. When I saw that flip5 was mono, I first went looking for flip4, they were no longer on sale, then I decided that okay, they couldnโ€™t do worse (could). After a lot of time spent with the equalizer, I somehow made it sound at least somehow, but still the mids are faded, and the high frequencies are either completely inaudible or distort, everything that is not vocals and drums (and even then not all) merges into a mess . Further, for some reason, they could not do a normal panorama mapping, that is, if I can hear well what should go on the left, then I almost hear nothing from what should go on the right (this cannot be repaired with a twist in the player), so that you have to listen to half tracks. 2) Bluetooth. I donโ€™t know if Iโ€™m so lucky or they really did it badly, but sometimes I get sharp interruptions in the sound, sometimes they appear more often, sometimes less often, sometimes they appear when the device is far away from the speaker, sometimes not, but they always appeared on all the devices that I tried. (: while writing a review, she took it and disconnected by itself). Also, I canโ€™t adjust the volume from the laptop, I have to press the buttons on the speaker itself. 3) Lack of a jack. This is already subjective from me, it is indicated in the specs, but anyway, the jack is a feature that allows you to remove the minuses of the bluetooth if they are critical for the user (for example, when these bugs were pissed off with an interruption :)). 4) It was claimed that it is at least somewhat durable, this is not true, having fallen from a height of 10 cm, cracks went on the body, which does not look at all like something that can easily crack (strange)
