Our Verdict

Bose SoundLink Micro

JBL Flip 5

The JBL Flip 5 is a slightly better speaker for most uses than the Bose SoundLink Micro. The JBL has a better-balanced sound profile and can get louder, although with more compression artifacts at max volume. The JBL also has a longer battery life. However, the Bose supports your smartphone's voice assistant.
