  • JBL Flip 5 has three very different versions of the same speaker. They are different in how they sound and how they float. Make sure you don’t get the wrong Flip 5 by watching my video of a full test at different volume levels plus frequency response chart of each speaker, CC GG and TL Flip 5s.

    So glad I found this review, found so many different reviews and opinions on this speaker and they all probably have different versions of this speaker. Will definitely go in shop to check the serial numbers before I buy it. Thanks for the clarification, I subbed!

    My father has a Flip5 (GG). I was so impressed, I bought one myself. But fiinally holding my own Flip5 in hands - my favorite songs, which I know very well, sound just different and not as warm as I was used to. It just drove me crazy. I told my husband over and over again that something was off. We put both boxes next to each other, listening to our favorite songs, immediatly noticing the difference. We checked the new box, it's "CN". We are no nerds, and I could tell after 3 seconds of listening which one was which and which one was the "warmer" box with more bass. I am really happy and thankful that I have found this video because I thought I was going crazy and there was no way I would get a good Flip5 again. We are now heading to the store to search for another GG - thank you so much for your effort --- great content!

    I was torn between TL and GG versions of Charge 4. In the end, after seeing some reviews and reading some comments I got a green GG. Wasn’t sure about the color, but it was the only one GG in the store. The GG has a plastic driver, the TL a paper one. According to some reviewers the TL version sometimes distorts the sound on high volume. There is some mechanical rattle going on. And it seems like the GG considered to be more durable in rough conditions.

      Alan Ross Reviews you’re making great reviews. I wonder how come you have so small amount of subscribers. I guess that’s because most people like to see more like a show, not a detailed review with “boring” diagrams and explanations. They don’t really care about the sound quality in general, they just want to know which speaker has more bass and is louder.

    Hello... I have a new JBL Flip 5 - GG version for about 2 days ... But I have a problem. The speaker makes a little noise when playing back at low volume. When the music is paused, the noise stops after about 3 seconds. The GG version of Flip 5 in the store did the same. JBL Flip Essential did the same thing (in the store). But the JBL Charge 4 in TL version is totally noise-free. Does anyone have any idea what to do with it? Charge 4 is unnecessarily big for me. I want JBL Flip 5 without anoying noise... Any ideas? Please... I don't know what's wrong with JBL Flip 5...

    Got the TL version. Sounds great but i have heard something about "delay of playing" due to Bluetooth versions. I hate it, is really annoying when playing a video or a song. So I was wondering if it would be possible that usb type c adaptator could reproduce sound not only charge.

  • @kisacevapa6316
    @kisacevapa6316 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The real question is, considering thw water resistance, is how durable they are. The one with paper drivers, well, it would make sense that they would break down/dissolve after a few times they get wet. And excluding the fact that some might have paper drivers, still, the question stands,how much of water treatment can they survive. (The speakers themselves have potential to last for years)

    I had a Flip 3 SE which I got in a bundle with my smartphone atleast 1.5 years ago and returned it for crackling sound.
    It has been ~5 months and I didn't get any response from them yet, I assumed it was because of the pandemic so I waited a little longer.
    I contacted them again 2 days ago and they actually responded, as a compensation they will send me a Flip 5 instead! They said the Flip 3 SE was unfixable and they didn't have any in stock. So I came back to your video months after I first watched it, love your videos.
    I wanted a Teal one now because I have a red Charge 4 GG which I couldn't get in Teal before and they accepted.
    The problem now is that everyone who has a Teal Flip 5 has it in GG and I want TL or CS. Is there any chance I can get it in eithrr of those? What are the rates of me getting them?

    Hello Alan, I subscribed and activated the bell because your videos are just so awesome to watch! I found out that white Flip 5s are ONLY CS and grey Flip 5s are TL. Black Flip 5s are TL, GG and CS and I actually got me a white Flip 5 and I actually wanted a black one and because I have to wash my Flip 5 sometimes because of my OCD and the CS plastic driver was the way to go but the TL really had an awesome sound so is the paper driver of TL and GG really waterproof??? I'm not so sure.... The GG sounded really terrible in my own tests (treble waay too much and no bass) but the TL sounded a little bit muddy so... Isn't the CS the best one because the plastic driver and the balanced out sound (bass like TL and treble like GG)???? I am shocked that JBL is doing this to their customers.... I am actually happy now with my white Flip 5! Alright Alan, have a very very nice day or night!

    It would be good to go after the JBL Flip 5 stereo settings. If you buy two of them they sound much better than one (I suggest to buy them in pairs) as we know already thanks to Alan and I absolutely confirm that. Unfortunately when two of them paired in PartyBoost you get them in mono mode. The JBLandroid app theoretically can switch into stereo, but it does not. Maybe Apple app works, but I cannot check that. It would be good to find a key press solution that sets two flip 5s into stereo mode.

    • @alanrossreviews

      only pair one of the flip 5s with the phone. start up one then connect the app to that flip 5. once the power bar shows startup the second flip 5/ press the partyboost button on both. now you should be able to switch to stereo in app.

      Yes it is, red, forest green, yellow and camouflage Charge 4s are almost always GG (like I have), and the pink, blue, teal and grey are usually TL. Black and white are mixed 50/50 I believe. You don’t actually need to check, because I have got the answer :p GG is more durable and just completely waterproof, whilst TL has a paper driver and thus has a standard airleak, because the air can just go through the woofer. Also, the passive bassradiator on the GG moves less, because the rubber that holds the radiator in place, is a lot tougher then on TL. If you want to have it to listen music on high volumes a lot, I would recommend TL. Although I just basically said that GG is “better”. TL has a punchier bass and better mids. For a person like me (I do JBL blowouts and upload it :p), I would recommend GG if you want to abuse the “low frequency mode”, which disables the bass limiter. I have a GG, as you can see in my profile picture haha. I am planning on buying a TL in the future though, because it pops very loud in low frequency mode at higher volumes and has a massive passive radiator movement. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although I might not have an answer. And also, it doesn’t hurt me to check out my channel hahah
