Review on JBL FLIP 5 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Green (Renewed) by Ron Josey

I'm sure sometimes returns are for the most mundane of reasons. The only thing that can indicate a "Refurbished" item is the tape marking on the outer packaging. Always wanted JBL or BOSE. The sound on this thing is INCREDIBLE. Deep resonant bass and clear highs. Can't comment on the longevity of the charge as we just got it. However, I am very impressed with the Bluetooth capabilities of the device. I left the source (phone) in a fully insulated metal building; closed all doors and walked 80 feet to another metal shelter; only then did the signal "stutter". It was almost $45 cheaper than a NEW DEVICE. My first "AMAZON UPDATED" block of anything. I will update if there are any problems. Very impressed so far!
