It's a pleasure to use and scores highly for portability, with a wrist strap that slips comfortably over our hand. The Flip 5 is waterproof to an IPX7 rating, boasts a 12 hour battery life and has a USB-C charging port, meaning it goes from flat to fully juiced in just 2.5 hours. JBLвЂ™s offering sounds great for the price and is more than rugged enough to cope with a day at the pool.

If all you want is a portable Bluetooth speaker that sounds as good as you can currently buy for around ВЈ100 ($100, AU$119), youвЂ™ll be hard-pressed to better the fantastic Flip 5.

For a nominal price hike over the launch price of the Flip 5, thereвЂ™s certainly more detail here, too. If you want more from the midrange and less from the treble, you can now tweak it thanks to a new EQ feature in the app, which adds significant value. We might have thought weвЂ™d be advising JBL to rework the Flip by now вЂ“ add a few more features, change it up a bit to keep up with the competition вЂ“ but instead, we are left praising the sonic chops of a proposition that now offers extra durability (it is now IP67 water- and dust-proof, over the waterproof-only IPX7 Flip 5) as well as an extra ounce of space within its trademark zealous and musical presentation.В Yes, it's still 'just' a Bluetooth speaker вЂ“ but what a great-sounding waterproof Bluetooth speaker it is. Given that the Flip 5 (listed, below) is a past What Hi-Fi? Award winner, it will come as little surprise to learn that the Flip 6 is another resoundingly five-star product.
