Sound quality: The JBL Flip 5 has Good overall sound quality. Bass has good impact, but is somewhat prominent and boomy, and deep bass is lacking. Midrange is fairly even but is a bit hazy and somewhat grainy. Treble is somewhat smeared and slightly subdued, and the upper treble is muted. Does a so-so job of recovering room ambience, sounds somewhat congested. When two units are used as a stereo pair the bass is somewhat prominent and boomy, the room ambience improves to decent, and the sound stage can be made wider depending on placement; overall sound quality remains good. Provides a decent volume level in a small to medium sized room.
