Bass Boost JBL Flip 5: How to Turn it OFF

By default, bass boost is ON, on the Flip 5 after a factory reset.  This adds a bit of treble and lots of extra bass to the audio. Plus, it’s a bit harder on battery power as well.

You can turn bass boost off by pressing and holding in the Volume Down (-) and Bluetooth buttons. So you may wish to do this to conserve the battery.

Hold them in for about ten seconds, until the Power and Bluetooth buttons light up white.

To enable bass boost once more, press the Volume Down and Bluetooth buttons. Then hold them in until the Power and Bluetooth buttons light up gray-white.  Finally release them.  Then, once the buttons start glowing, bass boost is working again.

Warning

The drivers really thump when you use bass boost.  So be careful in how loudly you play more bass  on the Flip 5. This helps avoid damage to the drivers. If the bass is crackling, tapping, or otherwise distorting, turn it down !
