Bro once I listened to the copy I could immediately tell the difference in sound quality. It sounds so unclear and foggy, while the real one sounds clear and filling. I own one and I must say it is an amazing sound.
I actually forgot to mentioned that the copy / fake has some really LOUD notifications sounds. Every single notification sound like from the start up, saying what mode your on and also shutting down are super annoying. Oh and not forgetting the low battery warning, I suggest you don't use this to fall asleep because it will wake up with the low battery warning (yep, it happened to me).
Almost imediatly I was able to tell the difference between the real and copy. Infact the copy is a bad one at that. The logo badge was the DEAD giveaway for me. I use JBL speakers on a professional level and know the distinct quality that goes into such speakers. Their consumer line is the same way. I have the Flip 4 and really love how it sounds for a little bluetooth speaker.
How do you like using JBL speakers and more on a professional level? Currently I run the sound board in my school that is connected to 56 channels, it’s a Yamaha TF5, we are also connected to 2 JBL subs(not sure the type) and four Yamaha speaks that hang from the ceiling racks. I’ve always been interested and liked running the sound desk and playing around with the EQ and ect, same with our lights too, made my own program ‘show’ for them. Was thinking about becoming a Sound and it light guy when I was older, hence why I’m wondering for your feedback:) God bless
The main difference is that ,the real one has a white outline layer across the speaker and it's in Every flip series, due to which I was able to differentiate in starting
Very helpful, informative, and nicely paced video. My question for you is. Can the fake one connect to the authentic Jbl speaker? If it can, then how? Thanks.
thnak u , another difference i see is that the lanyard for real one is hooked around a metallic hook while the other is hooked on a rubberlike materia. like you said, the copy is way cheaper. just go for the expensive ones to be safe,

I got 2 from walmart. One shipped which was oddly listed at a discounted price. One I picked up directly at the store. I played music on them side by side. It was clear one was a fake. Crazy stuff man, from the same item listing.
I noticed the USB port and the button-but the first thing I noticed is that the pattern on one was neat and straight whilst the pattern on the other was irregular and sloppy.
I have a DINDIN bluetooth speaker, I really like the sound quality, the lighting, it makes me happy every time I use it, I have had it for a year, and this product deserves more like.
I love how the fake one is in a way better that it has a usb, microSD and Aux which the original could really use... also i hate the original radiators. I love the ones the flip 4 had
@@pharaohsmagician8329 I think the ones of the 5 are ugly. The 4 looked so much better. The ones on the 6 at least made of metal but still i highly prefer the flip 4. In general its better in my opinion. It still got an aux, it looks better. And you can trust the waterproofness way more as no connectors (USB C) are exposed. The flip 4 is easy to remove the front back with a flat screwsdriver. That way you can if u feel like it exchange the front convers with another color or just replace it if it breaks (or if u wanna clean it). The flip 5 has that possibility too but its harder and the flip 6 is impossible of doing that. Also not that important the flip 4 still has a good long band your hand actually fits through. Flip 5 and 6 have a small band that your hand wont even fit through. It just decorative there... the flip 4 has 2 speakers, the flip 5 and 6 only have one long speaker. If it sounds better or not is questionable. It might have a little better bass but not really noticeable. They all have their pros and cons. But I recommend only considering between the 4 and the 6. The 5 just aint it. Its a not good enough to be a flip 4 and too bad to be a 6 too.
Other differences are the fake has a "1" in place of the "I" in FL1P, and the speaker grille is crooked. The sound quality is vastly better with the real JBL, the fake is a joke!
I could tell which one was fake just by looking at the JBL logo tag on the front, the fake one is slightly crooked compared to the real one if you look really close.
i've seen those copies sell for 1/3 the price of the real one. You get what you pay for. People on a budget might choose the much cheaper copy. People more concerned with quality sound, can pay 3 times more for the real deal.
The JBL speakers have a rich, pronounced sound while the fake JBL speakers have a more flat, duller sound, I could even tell the difference on my laptop speakers.
Since i have a flip 6 the detail that i noticed to know which 1 was fake is the plastic finition at the end of the 2 side, yep little detail of perfection make the difference
I assume people buy a speaker for the sound. There is no comparison when it comes to the sound. The real speaker has a more open sound and a much greater frequency response.
I used to have a fake xtreme something it broke down like 2 days after, I just bought a flip 5 in sand color it feels great and a billion times better.
By looking at it I could understand which is fake. In fact you didn't mention this point also. The original one is having a transparent lining on the edge if you will put light behind the speaker. I recently purchased flip 5. Thank God it is real one. Sound quality is superb. Better than JBL Xtreme which I purchased in 2016
You forgot to say some things. In the real one, when the partyboost mode is turned on, the light round the turn on and the bt button lights up but on the fake one it lights from the moment that it turns on. Also, the real one belong the turn on button writes "FLIP5" but the fake one which writes "FL1P5". Also, the logo in the front of the speakers is different, which makes it easier (for me) to recognize the real from the fake speaker. U forgot to say about the writings on the bottom of the real JBL FLIP 5 that don't exist on the fake one and about the writings outside the passive radiators on the side braces of the real speaker and that the braces look like really cool in the real one with a close straight gaze. Nonetheless, the video u made comparing the two kinds of speakers (real and fake ones) contains some of the most usefull info about this comparison. I am a JBL fan to tell you these things even if they are not so important.
I've got a JBL Charge 2+ and instantly knew which one was the legit JBL speaker in this video. And I was also wondering, why he didn't mention the name "FL1P5" on the Flap of the fake one, maybe that was just too obvious? :D
I have just replaced my flip 4 with an authentic flip 5 because it simply died and would not turn on after 3 years as my computer audio. The 4 works intermittently but it is not reliable. I have had trouble with the new one connecting . It would loose the Bluetooth connection even though it was right beside the computer. That may be resolved now though I'm not sure why. With no audio jack I am dependent on the Bluetooth. When I used the flip 4 I only used the jack because it had problems maintaining a good connection too. Both have great sound when they work.
Purchased a fake Flip 6 from ebay. I had a feeling it was going to be fake from the price but still purchased anyway. I got a full refund from the seller and they didn't ask for it back. I downloaded a bluetooth equalizer with a bass boost feature and it doesn't sound too bad for a freebie after messing around with the app.
En mi pais Ecuador hay buenas replicas de jbl que tienen un sonido casi al original pero son buenos yo tengo uno jbl flip 6 replica y tiene buen sonido el parlante tiene 9 horas de reproduccion ya tengo 4 meses y no me ha dado problemas todo depende de la persona que sea cuidadoso con su aparato
The only bad thing about the JBL 4 in the JBL 5 is they have a issue with the base where the base shorts out the power that's what happened to my JBL 4 the base shorted out the power supply
hello. i have buy one jbl flip 5 and i have received the copy model. I can not change the volume directly in the jbl flip when connected to android device, when i push the button - or + , it changes to the next or the previous music, that's all, i am not able to control the sound volume with this fake thing. How can i do, please?
I love how literally every cheap Cohina bluetooth speaker has that certain sound right before or after some sentence sayin "The bluetooth device is ready to pair" or something like that
I hope they change it and just remove the annoying lady and just use tones and make sure those tones are not super loud. Imagine turning it on late and night and you end up waking up your whole family haha
It activates the TWS (True Wireless Stereo) feature so it can connect to another Fake JBL Flip 5. Only two speakers can be connected at one time, it can't do more than two.
@@RylandSD101 nope, it will not. And will not pair to the authentic JBL app. Ordered a pair of these from Walmart and got the fakes. (3rd party seller via Walmart) The fakes do pair to each other. But quality is a big issue.
The fake flip 5 made the same sounds as the one speaker I bought in Turkey like 5 years ago. Kinda makes me cry, but ima see how good the music quality from the fake flip 5 is, hopefully better then mine 30€ skateboard speaker haha
I like how he says the really noticeable thing is the rubber flap. Like really it isn't the fact that one is called a Flip5 and the fake is called Fl1p5 lol
I was like, oh, this isn't as bad, but then I realised, that there's supposed to be bass :D
😂😂😂
sounds like my granddads radio
They both lack...but that fake one gsus
The B is for Bluetooth not bass lol
@@DreStyle I got the real one my shit on point

Cringe lol
JBL speakers are pretty shit if youre doing the audio for more then a average houseparty ( Lets say a small band on a wedding for example)
Would really appreciate a real vs. fake comparison for the JBL Boombox 2.
the sound made the big difference ..
Money to
Thank you for the 1 Million Views!
The main difference is that ,the real one has a white outline layer across the speaker and it's in Every flip series, due to which I was able to differentiate in starting
I figured it out by the clear silicone on the sides and the JBL logo sticking out
3:05 look at how flip is written on the fake and on the real
The one who made the copy, should be reported to the FBI
Don’t think the FBI investigates patent infringements in other countries (China).
Or you should go balling on a budget.n buy a clone i plan on it lol
The main differences without turning on are Front Logo and can come off easily Lan yard, and Name Fl1p 5 instead of Flip 5
My copy is FILP5
Very helpful, informative, and nicely paced video.
My question for you is. Can the fake one connect to the authentic Jbl speaker? If it can, then how? Thanks.
It won't connect

Wow, I didn't think Walmart would do that. That's crazy.
What have you heard from Walmart in regards to a return. My mom bought my dad one for Christmas that turned out to be a fake.
@@Strickland325 go and return it for a refund.
@@TaylorSoloaiJR i don’t think they realize the third party seller who is selling the item in other colors is actually selling knock offs
Got 2 JBL Flip 5's for Christmas, from Walmart, turned out they were both fake, an were exactly the same as the ones in the video.
Am I the only one that noticed the copy’s name is actually the FL1P5 and the real one said FLIP5
Ik
Whats the muscic played for sound testing please? I heard the same for another video on JBL 5 review
Orignal has its own vocals
I noticed the USB port and the button-but the first thing I noticed is that the pattern on one was neat and straight whilst the pattern on the other was irregular and sloppy.
I have a DINDIN bluetooth speaker, I really like the sound quality, the lighting, it makes me happy every time I use it, I have had it for a year, and this product deserves more like.
where can i get the power board for the FL1P5
I don't think anyone sells those parts for a fake.
Atleast now I can tell the difference between the copy and the original. Thank you so much
I have a JBL Flip 5 myself and I figured it out by the logo cause the one on top is rather larger and the buttons are rather thicker than the actual.
beside the sound, the copy did good job with media options :D
I love how the fake one is in a way better that it has a usb, microSD and Aux which the original could really use... also i hate the original radiators. I love the ones the flip 4 had
What's wrong with the radiators on the 5? I'm thinking of buying either the 4, 5 or 6. . .idk which one to buy. The 4 has alot of good reviews.

Holy shit good eye! I noticed it right away as the badge wasn't in place on the front but I didn't notice it was a 1 instead of an I
I saw the rubber flap which it’s not present in the genuine flip 5 (only essential has it actually)
True but we will never see a TF slot in a real JBL speaker, even if it has a rubber flap.
Wow, that's a first.
I could tell which one was fake just by looking at the JBL logo tag on the front, the fake one is slightly crooked compared to the real one if you look really close.
The main giveaway for me was the real speakers have a semi clear, outer layer of plastic, while the fake one is just a solid plastic color.
I own one myself, And strongly suggest the speaker. 💯💯
i've seen those copies sell for 1/3 the price of the real one.
You get what you pay for.
People on a budget might choose the much cheaper copy.
People more concerned with quality sound, can pay 3 times more for the real deal.
If there getting fake get a different option jbl is made for bass not to sound like shit
@@MichaelsExplorations not to mention it's labeled JBL so they are committing fraud, regardless of if someone's getting a "deal"

It isn't subtle...
2:49 I was expecting to hear ,, the blutut divaiz is conectid as sucsefuly ,, 🥵😂
The sound difference is day and night. Good comparison!
Since i have a flip 6 the detail that i noticed to know which 1 was fake is the plastic finition at the end of the 2 side, yep little detail of perfection make the difference
what song was it?
That classic generic Bluetooth pairing sound
To be honest I didnt know what one was real at first
But on copy is "fl1p 5" and on og is "flip 5" so this is that diffrence too.
I assume people buy a speaker for the sound. There is no comparison when it comes to the sound. The real speaker has a more open sound and a much greater frequency response.

Sorry I don't do T&G speaker reviews anymore
hey taylor whats the songs name that you played on the jbl

I geussed right from the start, the logo on the real is bright red while the fake is more orange in color
😂😂😂 wow the lanyard on the fake jbl is the same as my shoe lace
That 3 things now from Walmart supposedly refurbished NOT straight fakes on everything!
Where did u bought the fake one
Shopee in the Philippines, the store I got it from doesn't have it anymore.
For someone who play music outdoor, I would really choose the fake one that cost 1/5 the price.
A problem with the fake though is the battery is terrible so it won't last long. Not unless its always plugged into a powerbank.

i mean even hearing and knowing that there is a big gap between touse u have to consider the real one is like 4 to 5 times more expensive
Please make a video how to know if jbl headphones fake or not? I got the t280 tws
whats the sense of protecting extra ports if the rest isnt protected at all, uhh it hurts my brain rn

How could the video miss this as this is the main giveaway. I also bought one online and it said "FILP 5".
another give away is the JBL badge, it is slightly sunken into the grill on original, just a badge stuck on on copy.

It's always the "bluechewth maude" and "paver awn" 😂😂😂

Were to buy the copy
You can adjust the sound of the copy with Equalizer applications. You can enhance the Bass and other parameters. It really works
Sure does but the EQ app can only do so much.
Even my Flip 5 recognized the fake one :))))

You need to hold down the + or - button to change the volume, otherwise it will only change the song if you short press.
Comment ont fait j' ai la flip 5 stp😢😢
The extra ports seem nice tho
There's a sound difference, that's why I quit buying speakers online and just go to the store like best buy or a electronics store and buy them
Yep and some of these online platforms don't do anything about it when the item is being reported.
What is the name of the tested song?

You DON’T need “real quality headphones”, or any headphones really, to hear the difference. The sound coming from the copy is embarrassing
I was able to tell the junk right from the onset,the specs are just enough for me...
Which of the JBL speakers has the FM radio functionality
The JBL Tuner FM and JBL Horizon 2 (just be careful because they also have fake versions).
Where did you bought the fake one kindly tell us
I got it from Shopee in the Philippines
I didn't need headphones I could still hear a clear difference lmao
I guessed right. I’m surprised they make copies of these.

Does the connect+ button actually pari to other JBL speakers of the fake one or what happens
It activates the TWS (True Wireless Stereo) feature so it can connect to another Fake JBL Flip 5. Only two speakers can be connected at one time, it can't do more than two.
