The Flip 5 scores highly for portability, and once resting in our palm, the wrist strap slips comfortably over our hand and the buttons feel easily accessible.Īside from a light-indicator to denote charging next to the Flip 5’s only port, there are light-up power and Bluetooth buttons along its rubberised spine, plus a play/pause button, volume controls and a PartyBoost button on top of the casing. For testing, we place it in landscape mode so that both passive bass radiators are open to the elements. Nothing has been compromised and all is well.Īlthough JBL claims you can stand the Flip 5 on one of its ends or lie it lengthways for listening, when placed upright it doesn’t stand entirely vertical. Music plays throughout and it soon dries off when we take it out. We test the JBL’s resolve by filling our sink with water and submerging the unit for a few minutes. There’s no cover for the USB-C charging port and though it is waterproofed, it isn’t tested against salt or sand ingress at the beach. This means you should be able to submerge it in water at a depth of one metre for 30 minutes. NOTE : For further details on the life of the rechargeable battery, refer to the instruction manual.JBL claims the Flip 5 is waterproof to an IPX7 rating. Depending on the ambient temperature or conditions of use, the battery life may shorten.
