"Fits perfect in a bottle holder"
"Its portable enough in a way that u can carry it on a single hand or just shove it on your pocket while walking. ... About... 7~8inch long and 2~3inch wide. Its literally a glass or water in size."

AdkGold89 1.0Is the flip 7 really that bad?? I have the flip 5 and while it's not the best, for the price and how durable it has been I would absolutely recommend it. It is still going strong after 4.5-5 years of use.
anybodyiwant2be 1.0I’ve got the JBL Flip 5 and move it to all my classic cars. For my ‘67 bus I’ve got the basket cupholder from JBugs or Wolfsburg West that hooks into the dash slots on the bus and it fits right into the drink holder. Holds my cell also as I’ve rigged up a holder to the basket so I can tap safely. I’ve also installed a USB charger port in the ashtray that I got from https://www.classicchargers.com
Campita79 1.0I own a few different speakers bose and an older sony xb01 that one is garbage compared to bose. All my bose serve different purposes of listening. The soundlink micro is super small which is great when that's what you need. I have an old soundlink color, what I love about this one is the shape of it and its easy to use. Buttons are easy to find and I don't have to wrestle with it to use it. The flex is an awesome loud sound for large rooms and battery life is great but the shape is awkward. I heard a flip 5 the other day and I was impressed. What do you guys dislike about the flip?

Coastal_roamer 1.0The JBL portables are excellent. My Flip 5 still sounds great.
duck4129 1.0Flip 5 is petty good. I'll go against the grain here though, for actually listening to music you need stereo separation, a used stereo setup and decent speakers can be found for a few bucks and will be loads better. I use my flip 5 at work and have an OG Xtreme that has to be plugged in to run more than 5 min, use that one for the backyard. A portable Bluetooth speaker is good for work/play, but for actually listening to and hearing your music, stereo is the way to go. 2 flips paired in stereo is doable with the app.
Fantastic-Register49 1.0well, you just heard the first time, had a flip 5 and was very disappointed with it, now I've been using only soundcore products and I love it
FieryGingerMom 1.0We’ve dropped our JBL flip 5 in twice in the two months we’ve had our hot tub! 🤦♀️ It keeps working!
Global_Ad6868 1.0Charge 4 or flip 5 imo cuz lfm
GrouchyOleBear 1.0A pair of JBL flip 5’s are my bedroom stereo and a pair of flip 6’s is my work stereo. 🎶
