Review on JBL Flip 5 Waterproof Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Bundle - Black with Hardshell Protective Case by Marty Wainwright

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great speakers but know what you're using them for. Engineered for Music.

Very good speakers. It gets pretty noisy around you, but the neighbors probably won't complain. This speaker is for music. It buffers all audio so you don't have crashes when starting and stopping with bluetooth reception issues which I don't know about you but it worries me. This also allows it to sync with other speakers, such as itself, if that's what you want. It is not possible to disable buffering. It is not suitable for watching YouTube videos or watching movies. There is supposedly better sync technology in Bluetooth 5, but I don't see it. Video and audio are a bit out of sync and that worries me. While the sync worked as advertised, it does delay the start and stop of the video when, for example, you press the spacebar to capture a specific frame of the video. Unfortunately, you can't use it as a small instrument speaker either; MIDI or something like that. There is no additional input to bypass buffering.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Mute
