The USB type-c is wide open. Nothing is covering here, yet it can still go in the water and be perfectly okay. Since the micro USB is not waterproof, the USB type-c can handle that type of water submersion.
You don’t have to worry about the placement of the speaker. You can put it anywhere, like in the bathroom, near the pool, on the beach, etc. All credit goes to the IPX7 waterproof design.
Battery Performance
Flip 5 is packed with a 4800 mAh powerful battery, and this is something that this speaker must buy. Usually, you will not get such a massive battery capacity, especially in Bluetooth speakers. Because of this, it manages to entertain you up to 10 hours without interruption.
The most significant advantage of the speaker is here as it is coming with a type-c port. The type-c port is specially designed to reduce the charging time. Because of the type-c port, the speaker takes only up to 3 hours to charge this massive battery.
Is the new JBL Flip 5 worth buying?
I’m not really sure with the omission of JBL connect plus, without a 3.5-millimeter auxiliary jack, without voice assistant, without the ability to take calls while you’re streaming music, it’s just hard to recommend a Bluetooth speaker with so many feature omissions from the previous model. Of course,
I’m not saying it’s a lousy speaker. It absolutely sounds fantastic; it’s probably one of the better sounding portable speakers that I own. This thing is absolutely great sounding. USB type-c and 4800 mAh is something worth it. Just prioritize your needs and go for it.
