We raved about the JBL Flip 5 speaker when it first came out in 2019 with a price tag of $130, but right now you can nab this impressive speaker for just $70 at Amazon. That saves you $60 compared to the original price (or $30 compared to what it goes for these days), and matches the all-time lowest price we've seen. This pre-Black Friday deal applies to various color options and is not exclusive to Amazon, also running at Best Buy, Walmart, B&H Photo and directly at JBL.

This Bluetooth speaker is no longer the latest in JBL's Flip line, having been replaced by the JBL Flip 6 last year, but it has many enticing features that we love, such as a large battery, a USB-C port for a quicker charge, a built-in microphone for loudspeaker calls and IPX7 waterproofing. 

You can take the party wherever you go with this speaker. It comes with 20 watts of audio power and powerful bass, and it can last up to 12 hours on a single charge. You can even pair it with other JBL PartyBoost compatible speakers to have an enhanced sound experience. The speaker is made with durable fabric and rugged rubber housing, so it can withstand a few drops and still work perfectly.
