Clamp speakers, most disappointing purchase in years.
My solution to buying 4 of these speakers was to return them. My JBL flip 5 sounds better

My [30F] partner [35M] snores so loud I haven’t slept solidly in almost a year
Mine spouse doesn't snore, but I awake easily to certain sound. Years ago, I used to use a large box fan to block out the noise. But I no longer wanted the draft it creates. Now I use a free phone app with white noise called "White Noise Lite". It has a wide variety of other sounds as well. At night

Recommendations on Bluetooth Speakers for playing along and learning by ear?
I have a JBL flip5 that I have used for over 4 years on bike rides. Riding in storms? Yup. Summer heat? Yup. Mountain biking and it gets hit with rocks, dirt, debris... yep. Winter fat bike rides down to -26deg real feel? Yep, that cold once. Gravel ride and every crevice is filled with mud? Yessss.

Android users - anyone use Dolby Atmos "Music"?
I use Dolby Atmos on the Smart Audio setting with my JBL Flip 5 and it sounds pretty good. Fat bass, beefy mids, solid vocals usually, and the treble isn't too loud. All the other options like Bass Boost or Brilliant Treble makes it sound muddy or muffled, but the Smart Audio is good. You've gotta u

I might have come across a new way of EQ-ing
that being said there are all sorts of dirty tricks that smaller speaker systems use to make them sound good ( i love my jbl flip 5!). . and if you've ever seen an recording / mixing or mastering engineer at work they use tons of tricks to make things sound bigger, cleaner, etc..

Hank-value-tier Wireless Speaker?
True, h/k and JBL are both under harman international which is owned by samsung electronics. Personally I have 2 flip 5's which sound pretty good when stero paired and a H/K Citation 200 which has the most perfect sound signature I've ever heard in a portable speaker, better than a $899 Devialet Man

JBL Charge - Daily Workhorse and Immortal Hero
I had a JBL Flip 5, which was a great portable speaker. Unfortunately, it only lasted 2 years before it stopped functioning.

What Radio/Speaker upgrades do you recommend for my 08 E?
My Element has the original factory CD/AM/FM unit that sounds great. I want Apple CarPlay to play music from my iPhone. My Element has a lot of maintenance issues that are a priority over stereo system. My temporary solution was a JBL Flip5 Bluetooth speaker that fills the cabin with music from my i

Bluetooth Speaker Recommendation
I've got a JBL Flip Five and its great. Small enough to fit in a purse or backpack but big enought to create good sound. Reasonably priced as well.
