We’re getting a lot of free tech on Android Authority, but I just bought the JBL Flip 5 bluetooth speaker. It arrived yesterday and I already love it, although if I were in the US I’d bring myself to my knees because it’s now available at a much cheaper price from Woot. While supplies last, you can pick it up for just $ 79.99 ($ 40 off).
The JBL Flip 4 tops our list of the best Bluetooth speakers for less than $ 100, but the Flip 5 doesn’t usually fall into that category. The newest model in the range retains the same powerful 12-hour battery and rugged build while offering improved charging and a brand new driver in the form of a racetrack.

The sound from my newcomer is fantastic, especially the bass packed into the compact unit. While I don’t plan on dumping it into a lake anytime soon, the IPX7 coverage means it’s completely waterproof up to ten feet. With the JBL app you can also pair your speakers together – up to 100 at the same time – and sync the music.
This deal isn’t as fleeting as many woot sales, but this is a popular bluetooth speaker so we expect stocks to move pretty quickly. Click the widget below to check out the listing for yourself.
