JBL Flip 5 vs Bang & Olufsen Beosound Explore

The Bang & Olufsen Beosound Explore is a better speaker than the JBL Flip 5 overall. The Bang & Olufsen is better built with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. It also has a wider-sounding soundstage and can play stereo content without downmixing it to mono. Also, it's more customizable thanks to its EQ presets and 'Beosonic' feature, which you can use to adjust the speaker's sound to your liking. However, The JBL has a better-balanced sound profile out of the box and has a 'PartyBoost' feature you can use to pair it to other 'PartyBoost' compatible speakers when you want your audio to fill a large space.
