Listen Up, Music Lovers: The JBL® Flip 5 Is Nothing Short of Epic

Newest addition to the award-winning JBL portable speaker line
delivers an exceptional sound experience that dazzles listeners

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CES — Crank the music up, because JBL’s award-winning Flip series is
redefining great sound. Enter the JBL Flip 5, the newest member
of the popular Bluetooth speaker line that takes the portable listening
experience to the next level. The combination of crystal-clear sound,
packaged in a waterproof and durable case, promises an epic sound
experience that will fuel any party.

Looking for impressive sound that you can take anywhere? Say no more.
The Flip 5 takes sound quality to new heights with an all new acoustic
design. A newly engineered racetrack-shaped driver with increased cone
area and excursion amplifies JBL’s classic signature sound, elevating
the overall output of the music delivering crisp highs and deep bass.

“Thanks to its amazing sound, enhanced features and approachable price
point, the Flip Series has always been a popular option for consumers,
so we’re excited to bring them the next generation with the JBL Flip 5,”
said Michael Mauser, President of the Lifestyle Audio Division, HARMAN.
“Similar to some of our other recently announced portable Bluetooth
speakers, the Flip 5 will be offered in an on-trend and eye-catching
color pallet, including fan favorites such as Dusty Pink, River Teal,
and Fiesta Red”.

Like its predecessor, the JBL Flip 5 sports a waterproof, compact
design, which means there’s no stopping where this speaker can travel.
Small enough to pack in a suitcase, bring it to mountaintop soirees and
your beach excursions, no matter the weather. Boasting 12 hours of
playtime and recharging capabilities via a new USB-C charging port means
this speaker will be up and running with stronger battery support than
ever before. A built-in speakerphone, alongside its stellar and stable
Bluetooth connection, lets users make and receive crystal clear calls
with the touch of a button.
