In this video I compare the JBL Flip 4 to the JBL Flip 5 to help you determine which JBL Bluetooth speaker is the best fit for you. While there are a lot of similarities between the two devices, there are some key differences that may cause you to lean toward a specific version of the popular portable speaker.

Video Transcript:
First, let's look at the build and form factor of each device.
The JBL Flip 5 is slightly larger than the JBL Flip 4, in that it's just over 7 inches long, just under 3 inches tall and 3 inches deep, and weighs 1.19 pounds. The added weight is barely noticeable, and shouldn't play a big part in your decision.
Both the Flip 4 and the Flip 5 are wrapped in the same wire mesh combination that not only gives JBL devices an attractive look, but also contributes to the tough exterior that protects the internal components from the elements. Additionally, the rubber end caps that sit over the exterior passive radiators are the same on each device. The exterior passive radiators themselves have a more rounded appearance and a rubbery feel on the JBL Flip 5, similar to the JBL Charge 4 and the Xtreme 2, while the exterior passive radiators on the JBL Flip 4 are flat and feel like flat plastic.
Finally, both the JBL Flip 5 and the JBL Flip 4 Bluetooth speakers are IPX7 rated, which means they are waterproof for up to three feet, and also dustproof.
Now let's take a look at the button access on each device.
Both the Flip 4 and the Flip 5 have four buttons built into the wire mesh toward the back of the device, and two buttons built into the plastic bar that runs along the back of the device. The buttons for the JBL Flip 5 are positioned slightly closer to the top so you don't have to go all the way behind the speaker to get to them, which is nice. However, what buttons are located where on each device is slightly different. A Play button and the volume up and down buttons are located in the wire mesh on each device, but the JBL Flip 4 Bluetooth speaker has the Bluetooth button in the last spot, while the JBL Flip 5 has the PartyBoost button in that location. The PartyBoost button can be used to connect more than a hundred JBL speakers together that also have the PartyBoost feature. Additionally, the Play button performs different functions on the two speakers. The Play button on the JBL Flip 4 can be used to access either Google Assistant or Apple's Siri, and also accept phone calls. The only function of the Play button on the Flip 5 is to start and stop music. The Power button for each device is built into the plastic bar, but the Flip 4 also has the JBL Connect+ button in that location (which is the older functionality that can be used to connect multiple JBL speakers with JBL Connect+ together), while the Flip 5 has the Bluetooth button in that spot. One thing that is worth noting is that the buttons on the JBL Flip 5 are more easily clickable. While the buttons on the JBL Flip 4 aren't bad, sometimes it feels like you have to drive your finger through the speaker to get a response.
The JBL Flip 5 hands down sounds better at all levels -- low, high, and mid range, and pumps out insanely great sounding bass for its size, driven by the improved one-inch passive radiators. The overall audio quality is similar to what you'd get out of the JBL Charge 4, but without the higher power output afforded by the Charge 4 that can help it get louder. Additionally, the audio from the JBL Flip 5 carries well outdoors, and will crank out clean and clear audio that will reach everybody's ears at a backyard party or pool.
Next let's discuss power and ports.
One of the biggest changes from the JBL Flip 4 to the JBL Flip 5 is the switch from the micro-USB port that powers the Flip 4 to a USB-C port that powers the Flip 5, allowing for faster charging. Both devices offer up to 12 hours of music playback on a full charge, but the Flip 5 only takes 2 and a half hours to fully charge, while the Flip 4 takes 3 and a half hours.

Flip 4 all ways
The *Flip 4* is still the best speaker in the JBL Flip line-up without any doubt, though the Flip 5 sounds marginally better... less bright. I got mine in India for $91 in November 2019 but the price went up to $110 after that and has pretty much remained there. (In India) The reason is, while the Flip 5 sounds good, it is not better... in fact it is a major step backwards. . The Flip 4 is stereo, the Flip 5 is mono. . The Flip 4 has a mic, it is an excellent speaker phone. The 5 doesn't have a mic! . The Flip 4 also has a bass boosting feature. Press the Bluetooth and the Volume down button for about 10 seconds and you enter Extra Bass Mode. . The Flip 4 ports are covered with a watertight flap. The 5 has them exposed. How waterproof can that be? . Flip 4 has a 3.5mm / Aux In port. The 5 doesnt! Though it is BT 4. The Flip 4 has a bright sound and a very tight bass and open mids. (I reduce the treble a tad, with my phone's eq, just a small step and it sounds perfect. For speech and muffled recordings, it is crystal clear as is. It also has 2 active drivers and 2 passive bass radiators. The Flip 5 has one active driver, however it charges via type C, sounds good and looks as good as the 4, though slightly larger. The 3.5 aux input is essential for watching video without lag / latency. This speaker is a perfect blend of sound and size, portability, compatibility, style and ruggedness. It has an IPX7 rating and it lives up to it. Battery life is fine, not great, for either. The price, at $90 is fair. And if you can by any chance place it in a corner, it blows the lid off much larger speakers! This is a small speaker you will fall in love with, can carry around and never tire of! 4/5*. 1/2 off for the average battery and 1/2 off for being a fraction too bright. Flip 4 rules! **** 😊 _

I don't know why they did this, connect + works perfectly. I do suppose that with the new IOS 13 update you could connect your phone to a connect + and a party boost speaker so it would work that way, but they got everyone hyped up and then changed the design!

Max - Was wondering what your thoughts were on the 4 or 5 being that we're going to be using it on a boat while completing bathymetric surveys. We're going to have a generator running behind us and the pilot and co-pilot are going to have this placed intween us while listening to podcasts and tunes. We're a bit concerned about volume, as per "quality." Thoughts on this would be great, as well as if the Charge would be a better option being that JBL has a great sale going on today that also ends today :eek: Thanks!
@MaxDalton

Hi Allen. Very cool. I won't lie, I had to look up "bathymetric" :-) If you were to get a Flip, I'd get the Flip 5 as its louder. I don't think you'd need the Charge 4. I'd be incredibly shocked if that generator is so loud you won't be able to hear. That being said, if you want to be safe, then you should definitely be fine with the Charge 4. Also, I checked out the sale, and the price they have for the Flip 4 ($75) is going to be the go-forward price for the Flip 4 now that the Flip 5 is out, so it's not really a deal. Good luck. Let me know which one you get!

From what i know... when you on the flip 5...there is a sound... but my flip 5 doesn't produce that sound after i used it for 2 times... what is happening?
after all, does the USB-C in Flip 5 support audio connection? as in, if I get a USB-C to P2 converter I could get a similar use as the P2 plug in Flip 4
Very nice review, thank you I just ordered one !
Would an auxiliary cord work with the JBL Flip 5 if I buy a USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter to connect the cord through there?
This is THE most helpful video!!! Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I just want to add that the Flip 4 has 2 drivers while the Flip 5 has only has one and therefore is not capable to deliver stereo sound if you only have one speaker. For playing classical music and acoustic jazz, I believe Flip 4 might perform better. Thank you again for the clear video.

Thanks for the review:-) Getting the flip 5 simply because I don't want to be cheap by getting an older version (employee gifts). I also don't think the recipients have older versions that will be affected by the party issue. Thanks!
I am connecting my flip4 to my pc using 3.5mm, since the BT connection have lag, which is annoying when watching videos (sound and video are not synced)
I just got a Flip 4 for black friday. I immediately returned it and ordered a Flip 5 instead because it's bluetooth range was much worse than my old Flip 3, and the audio wasn't really better. I'm excited for the flip 5 because of the improved audio, and the USB C (Same as my Note 9). My Flip 3 died because the charge port got ruined from my sticking my micro usb in there backwards so many times. Cons: I'm going to miss the speaker feature because I won't be able to answer calls in the shower anymore Edit: I got the Flip 5 and it's bass is kick-ass. Total audio quality improvement over the Flip 3 and 4.

yep. Flip 4's BT range is not great. Plus I could not use connect+ freely inside a house or in a backyard probably due to walls, plants, whatever (again range) . Looking forward to Flip 5's partyboost. not sure if this is good enough though.
But can the 5 on bluetooth really sound as good as the 4 on aux input? In my experience bluetooth sounds pretty awful compared to a wired connection.
Can you use the Flip 4 whilst it's plugged in? i.e. if at home
I have the Flip 4 and I really like it and have had it for about 1 1/2 but it is beginning to give me a crackling noise. Not happy as I don't use it a lot and I take good care of it. Any suggestions?

Ipx7 means it can stay in water up to 1M for *30 minutes* it’s not guaranteed water proof! Also the button on the back are built in but the ones on the side are stuck on by a adhesive.
Thanks for the in depth review! I think I'll be keeping my Flip 4 as it is stereo and the Flip 5 in a mono speaker. While that may not be a deal breaker for some, I sometimes enjoy reading a book or sleeping with the Flip 4 playing on my chest, and at that range you can definitely hear the left and right speaker separation. And I also use the 3.5 Aux input a lot.

The Flip 5 may seem to have more sound on the left side because it uses a single sound driver that is located on, you guessed it, the left side of the speaker. Meanwhile, the Flip 4 uses dual drivers located on both sides of the speaker. So naturally, you will get better sound from the dual drivers on the Flip 4 than you will from the Flip 5’s mono driver.

Went for the 5. Really love the pink colour they have. Actually, it is a real improvement the Bluetooth doesn’t connect with my phone when someone calls me. I used to have JBL Charge 3, and what was super annoying was that every time I received a call, it would be on speaker immediately. And now, with Flip 5, it’s not the speaker that rings, the music stops and your actual phone rings. Personally, I love this feature. Moreover, it’s perfect for me because I don’t really use Siri. So would recommend 5 :) One last thing - guys don’t worry about the cable if you are wondering whether to get a Flip 5. It comes with it’s own cable, you don’t have to own one yourself in order to be able to charge it! Cheers
I'm gonna roll with the Flip 4. My kid has one so I like the connectability. Too bad the Flip 5 switched to another connection format.

Yeah. This is JBL's third connection technology. I'm sure there's a reason for it, but from a consumer standpoint it's frustrating. Flip 4 is still a great speaker, though, at a much better price.
Got a flip 5. Thanks for comparison
Flip 4 was already too large for most pockets, why do they need to keep growing it toward the charge, which is the most impractical size they have? Not pocketable and not big enough to carry in a bag. Flip 3 was perfect since it was the same size as a beer can.
Thank You Mike. I really like your review, I just Buy JBL flip 5. Your review help me to decide.
is it possible to link a flip4 with a flip5? Cause I have an old flip4 and I would like to buy a new one to have them as stereo ...

You can't link a Flip 4 with a Flip 5. They use different linking technologies. The Flip 4 uses JBL Connect + while the Flip 5 uses PartyBoost. You'll have to get either two Flip 4's or two Flip 5's.
No Mic, when receiving calls?
So if u have a flip 4 and u wanna get a flip 5 u can’t pair or match them up so they play the same stuff?

You're correct. You cannot.
Thank you really good video

Can you hook up the flip 4 to get more sound from your TV?

Yes if your TV has a 3mm audio jack.
Wait can the flip 4 be on party mode and connect to more speakers?

The Flip 4 doesn't have PartyBoost mode, it has JBL Connect+, which can't be paired with a PartyBoost speaker. You can connect the Flip 4 to other speakers that use JBL Connect+, like another Flip 4 or the Charge 4.

I agree. I like it, and I also dig the blue color.
I have a flip 4 and am happy with it. If I got another one it would be bigger because I feel like the flip 4 isn't always loud enough and I could connect them

I understand. I've got my Charge 4 at my desk. I have my Flip 5 in a bag I carry around. I have my Xtreme 2 in the garage.
Do i go for the flip 4 or 5
i got the JBL Flip4. i didn't use it for a month because I went overseas. when i came back it's facing a lot of issues-not fully charging, sound cracks. now it's no longer powering on. since it's out of warranty, JBL is charging $100 for the repair.
Good to know the new Flip 5 is unable to pair with recently acquired Xtreme 2. I'll be getting a Flip 4 next as it'll not only be able to pair with my existing one, but it's also only half the price of a Flip 5 in my country.

Good deal. Glad you caught that. The Flip 4 is still a great speaker.

In my country flip 5 is only 5 euros more expensive😂
I have to ask, should I buy two Flip 4s in white now, or wait to the flip 5s come out in white, (around September). We mainly will be using these on our deck for background music. Thank you all in advance

It depends on what you want. The Flip 4 sounds good, but the Flip 5 has much better audio quality. However, the Flip 4 has more features at present, so if things like the ability to interact with Google Assistant and Siri, or to use the device as a speakerphone are important, I'd say go with the Flip 4.

@@MaxDaltonThanks Max, and thank you for the video. I really don't need the google assistant or siri since I primarily do that from my phone. I will probably just hold off until the 5s come out in white and buy a pair then. I don't know what it is, the white speakers just have a cleaner look like the old BOSE outdoor speakers from a few decades ago. Thanks again!
