Froggie's Guide to Budget Headphones

@nimrella I am more well versed in traditional audio and home theater with big honking speakers, so I don't have much personal experience with headphones and headphone accessories. But I can tell you what I've learned from other people who are in the headphone world. And since you are starting more within the "budget" range I think I am somewhat qualified to guide you at this level.

You have three paths to choose from...

Wireless, low impedance wired (no amplification required), and high impedance wired (amplification required).

Basically... easy, medium, and hard.

But also... good, better, best.

Wireless Headphones

Wireless headphones have come a long way. Audiophiles used to scoff at them but now there are options that really do sound fantastic and the Bluetooth data rates are good enough to deliver high resolution audio. They also have noise cancellation options which may be desirable. If you do not have a quiet, dedicated space for listening to music you might find high end noise cancellation a godsend. People love them especially for planes, trains, and automobiles.

I don't know if everyone knows how noise cancellation works or not, but basically the headphones have microphones that listen to the world around you. They measure the incoming sound and then generate an opposite sound that just about kills ambient noise. If you play the same sound 180 degrees out of phase it basically nullifies those sound waves. The tech works best between 50 Hz and 1000 Hz. For reference we hear between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz (lower if you are old). So anything super high or super low pitched can still get through.

In any case, if that sounds appealing, wireless headphones should be a consideration.

The other advantage of wireless headphones would be the ease of use. They pair to your phone, your laptop, your TV. They have controls to help you pause and skip songs and change volume. Some allow you to take phone calls.

But the big downside is the sound quality takes a bit of a hit. As I said, the bluetooth standards have actually gotten very very good. (Though there are audiophiles who will swear it still sounds like a 1990s MP3.) So streaming the actual media files are not really an issue. But trying to cram all of that tech into lightweight headphones you can wear around town all day requires compromises and added expense. Not to mention the battery has a limited lifespan. You may have more limited or inconsistent frequency response, poor dynamic range, distortion problems, weak output, and a high noise floor. Wireless options still can't match wired headphone systems in the same price range. And the wireless options that come close are quite spendy.

Wireless Headphones Suggestions

In your price range the two wireless options that I hear mentioned over and over again are the Sony WH-1000 series and the Bose QuietComfort. They are both well regarded for having a good mix of sound quality and noise cancellation while also being a decent value. You might be able to visit a Best Buy and demo them to see if you prefer the sound and comfort of one over the other.

The Apple AirPods Max are said to work really well within the Apple ecosystem. They have some interesting spatial sound modes and very good audio quality. I've heard the noise cancellation is some of the best currently available. But they seem too expensive and a lot of people feel they are too heavy. I also suspect they are due for an update. That said, if you wait for the new ones to come out and buy used, they could come into your price range. I'd really only suggest these if you have multiple Apple products that you will be streaming sound from.

Before we move into wired headphones, let's go over some terms that you might see pop up when doing research and reading reviews.

Froggie's Glossary of Audiophile Terminology

Driver A speaker is made up of drivers. Some speakers have a woofer, a midrange, and a tweeter. Each individual thing is a driver. And with headphones you will often hear "headphone driver" instead of speaker because it is more specific. Headphones typically have an all-in-one driver that does all frequencies. A woofymidteet.

That's not a thing.

I made that up.

Frequency Response This is the range of frequencies produced by the drivers from low to high. You want to make sure your headphones have good, deep bass. That will make more of a difference than anything else. It's the foundation of all sound and what is sorely lacking in devices with small/cheap speakers.

Music typically doesn't go much below 40 Hz in the bass range. So if you are only interested in music listening, that is plenty deep. Movies can go down to 20 Hz, but this isn't necessary for a good immersive experience unless you have giant subwoofers. So if you find something that can play ~40 Hz with decent output, you should be all good. Every speaker has a frequency response curve. It looks something like this.

The X-axis represents the frequency and the Y-axis represents the volume in decibels. We are most concerned with the 40 to 10K Hz section, as most sound happens there.

I'm not going to go super in-depth and overwhelm everyone, but typically you want this graph to look fairly flat in that range. A flat-ish line will give you a "neutral" response.

The above graph gets a little bumpy in the high frequencies. That means those frequencies will have a higher volume than the lower frequencies. If a higher frequency has a big peak, that could make your sound seem too bright or tinny.

Or you could have the opposite problem. You could have a null in the bass where the output dips below everything else. This can make your sound a bit anemic and lacking punch.

Whereas a more flat speaker will output all frequencies at about the same volume and sound much more balanced and smooth.

Equalization or EQ A flat response is good because it will accept EQ well. Equalization is where you add peaks and dips in volume deliberately to taste.

This can be as simple as 3 knobs.

Or it can be a more complicated parametric EQ.

A lot of digital EQ methods have presets to help get you started. I promise it isn't as intimidating as it looks.

Some people like to buy speakers/headphones that are EQ'd how they prefer out of the box. (Or if you get Beats by Dre they just turn the bass all the way up and say "Fuck them other frequencies!") But this is often a bit of a crapshoot because it is hard to EQ a speaker that sounds good in every room or every environment or just to varying individual preferences.

By making the speaker more neutral, it can be much easier to equalize specifically to your needs and enjoyment.

So if you like the bass a little bassier and the mids a little quieter, you have the power to dial that in with great specificity on a neutral speaker. You can apply any EQ you wish and you won't be fighting the speaker's predetermined response.

Basically if you are reading reviews and the headphones are described as "flat" or "neutral" that's a good thing (in my opinion). Just remember nothing is going to be perfectly flat. We're shooting for flat-ish.

If you do decide to get a neutral sounding pair of headphones you may find them a little bland out of the box. Do not panic. You just need to learn a bit about how to apply EQ, but thankfully YouTube is plentiful with tutorials.

The Harman Curve was researched to be most liked by the most people, so you might start there. (Also, SoundSource is a very popular EQ app for Mac.)

Dynamic Range This is the spectrum of how quiet to loud something can get. If you have speakers that can render both a pin drop and a big explosion with great fidelity and proper intensity, you will be in audio heaven. There is so much emotion and drama that can be expressed by expansive dynamic range and most cheap speakers compress it to an inch of its life. When the soft and the loud sounds are the same you miss out on so much audio information intended by the composer.

Distortion This is just how loud a speaker can go without breaking up. Low distortion is good. While every driver distorts at some point, usually that is at a much higher volume than you will use. This typically only plagues cheap, tiny drivers.

Sound Pressure Level (SPL) This is a measurement of how loud a speaker can get. While you don't want to listen to anything louder than a sustained average decibel level of 80 to 85, you do want peaks over 100, especially in the bass. Bass is less damaging to ears and hearing damage is all about sustained volume rather than quick peaks here and there. Most headphones can comfortably do an SPL between 90 and 110 dB. The ability to go louder is good, but only because that expands headroom, not because you should actually listen to them that loud. So if the headphones can get super loud, that means they will have a much easier time delivering normal levels.

Noise Floor Every sound system has background noise. You know that static you hear when you turn a radio up really loud when there is no sound playing? That is your noise floor. You want that to be as quiet as possible because if you turn up the volume, you don't just turn up the volume of the sounds you want to hear, you also turn up the volume of that background noise.

If you can find a headphone system with a decent low noise floor and you can also find a very quiet space to listen in, you could have a religious experience. I don't think people realize how much the room you are in matters, even when listening to headphones. When you are in a quiet room, you can play at lower volumes. And that can mitigate a lot of the problems associated with cranking the volume. You won't damage your ears for one thing. But the speakers won't have to work as hard so you'll have less distortion and better clarity.

Noise mostly comes from the amplifier, which I will talk about later on.

Froggie Pro Tip: If you want cheap speakers to perform better, go to a quiet room and move them as close as possible. This allows you to play them at a lower output while maintaining your desired perceived volume.

Okay, now we can finally talk about...

Wired Headphones

You have open back and closed back styles.

Open back tends to have a more natural sound and feels more comfortable. Like listening to regular speakers. People generally feel they are able to listen to them longer because they don't create a seal and cause pressure on your ear drum. However, if sound can get out, it can also get in. So with open back headphones people nearby will be able to hear what you are listening to. And if you are not in a quiet room, all of that sound will leak in. Meaning you have to increase the volume and the noise floor and the distortion.

Closed back seals off your ears and gives you a quiet and immersive experience. You can be in a noisier room without having to crank the volume as much. Some prefer this style just because it helps them feel like they are going into their own personal dimension of sound. These are great for ASMR too. But ear fatigue can become an issue and you may need to take little breaks to let your ears breathe and your ear drums rest.

And the last thing we need to discuss is impedance.

The impedance of headphones mostly determines how hard they are to amplify. Impedance is measured in ohms which is this little horseshoe symbol... Ω.

Lower ohms means less electrical resistance and easier to amplify.

Higher ohms means more electrical resistance and difficult to amplify.

If you get headphones rated below 100 ohms, they can typically be driven by smartphones and laptops just by plugging into a standard headphone jack. Though depending on the device, 100 may sound a little quiet so you may want to go lower. 30 ohms is fairly typical if you plan to drive your headphones with everyday electronics.

Above 100 ohms you are going to need some sort of amplification—usually a DAC with a headphone amplifier. (There are DACs without amplification so be sure to check that.)

A DAC, or digital-to-analog converter, is already built into your phone and laptop. But those are very small, don't have a lot of power, and might have a higher noise floor due to interference from other components and heat and just a lot of electrical signals nearby.

By getting an external DAC w/amplifier you separate out the components, make them larger and more powerful, and typically improve the sound quality. Because it is more isolated, the amplification can be much quieter despite being more powerful.

If you plan to stay in a static location and you have high impedance headphones, you can get a little box DAC that sits on your desk. It works like an external sound card for your computer. If you record music or stream, a digital audio interface works great as well (remember to check the Ω).

But if you need to be more mobile with your headphones you can get a little USB dongle DAC, though you will probably not get the same sound quality and power.

Both will be superior to the internal DAC built into your computing devices.

So, low impedance headphones are easier if you need to move around.

High impedance headphones are better for staying put in a single location unless you get a dongle DAC.

Just remember, high and low impedance doesn't necessarily indicate quality. It's just that in order to drive high impedance headphones you need the larger amplifier with the nicer components and, by necessity, you automatically get that quality bump.

You can get very good low impedance headphones. However, if you power them *only* with a smartphone, you may not use them to their full potential. Which is why getting an external DAC is a good idea regardless.

But the nice thing about low impedance is you can get the headphones and still use them until you save up for the DAC. Or you can use them as normal while out and about and have a special listening spot at home with the DAC.

To review...

Low impedance and high impedance can both be high quality.

Low impedance (less than 100 ohms) works with anything.

High impedance (more than 100 ohms) requires amplification.

Both will be used to their full potential with a DAC/headphone amplifier of some kind.

Wired Headphones Suggestions

Again, I have not personally listened to any of these. I am just relaying what experts I trust have mentioned as being nice quality in your price range.

The beyerdynamic DT 770 headphones are some of the most well-regarded budget headphones I've heard of. They come in low and high impedance versions.

The Sennheiser HD 560 high impedance headphones are also praised for their value and performance.

If you can go a little pricier...

The HIFIMAN Sundara headphones have low impedance and can be driven easily by all your devices.

And the HIFIMAN Edition XS are even lower impedance and about the same price.

And if you want to try a DAC, I've heard good things about both Fosi and Schiit (yes, like the poopies), though there are many different brands. Just make sure the DAC has a headphone amplifier rated for the ohms you need.

The FOSI K5 Pro is a cheap "beginner" DAC that will power anything up to 300 ohms. This is the kind that sits on your desk.

And if you want a more portable dongle DAC, you can get something like the iFi Go Link.

I've also heard good things about the AudioQuest Dragonfly, though I hate recommending AudioQuest products due to them claiming they can do magical things. They use scientific gobbledygook to scam customers most of the time. That said, the DragonFly might be their only valid product.

Note from Future Froggie: AudioQuest just can't help themselves. While the Dragonfly itself is a good product and not a scam, they developed the "DragonTail", which is a scam.

It's just a USB A to C Adapter for the Dragonfly. But they have to find a way to justify 30 fucking dollars so they came up with this bullshit.

Definitely need to stabilize my geometry. If I have unstable geometry that could lead to quixotic trigonometry. And we all know that could introduce vertices into dodecahedrons. Which leads straight to accelerated cosmotic entropy catalyzing the heat death of the universe.

Fucking AudioQuest.

ANYWAY...

An inexpensive DAC may be all you ever need but DACs can get crazy expensive—just like headphones. And if you are really fancy you can get a DAC and a headphone amplifier as separate items. Audiophiles claim when you simplify components to a singular function you increase quality. While I think there is some small truth to that, I suspect they just think the tubes look neat.

Froggie's Disclaimer: I am not telling you to get these specific things, but I do think you'll probably be happy with anything I've suggested. But sound is a subjective experience and it is always best to test things out before you buy them, if possible. Or make sure there is a return policy. You might see if there is a brick-and-mortar store nearby that allows you to demo headphones. Remember that comfort can be just as crucial as sound quality for long listening sessions.

Final Thoughts

Good sound has been life changing for me. And I am excited when anyone goes down this journey. While the stuff mentioned is considered "budget" by audiophiles, this can give you a good starting point if you want to upgrade down the road. You'll get to know your preferences and get a better understanding of how this all works and choose your own adventure from there.

Though it is very possible you'll be quite content with "budget" and the sound quality is more than enough.

Personally, while I am very happy with my current home theater setup, I am hopeful one day I can upgrade one budget tier above where I currently am and that will be my endgame. I've heard $10,000 speakers and it is mostly a land of diminishing returns once you reach that level.

I'm fine in "budget" land.

Further Research

I didn't mention the different types of headphone drivers because I didn't want to put too much data in everyone's head. But if you want to do additional research you can learn about the 4 main types... dynamic, planar magnetic, electrostatic, and balanced armature.

Tutoriel Bendy Props (Part 2 )

Hello and welcome ( back ) onto this ongoing series of BATIM props tutorial. Today, we’ll make the radio ! And a working one.

This time, Orion was a big helper. He deisgned the patterns, took all the measurements and worked out a way for that radio to swing !

This tutorial will only cover the radio because the process is kinda different from the other props ( that you can find here ), we took extra time and care because we DO wanna listen to Sammy Jam on loop. Best OST, can’t change my mind.

So, you’ll need :

EVA Foam, 5, 7 and 10mm ( or you can use cardboard. Like really, don’t feel pressured into buying those pricey materials if it’s JUST for the radio. Go ham on empty amazon packages and have fun. )

Foam Clay & Kwik Seal, those two are to buy only if you’re using EVA foam. They’re meant to seal the irregularities in foam.

Contact Cement & Hot Glue. Same here, Contact Cement is hardcore glue and isn’t that useful for cardboard, so use Hot Glue instead ! If you use extra-strong glue ( the ones in tiny packages ), be really careful not to put any on your skin ( it burns like hell ).

Yellow Ochre & Black acrylic paint

Cutter & Rotary Tool

little pieces of wood ( like lollipop sticks. )

Snap buttons

Strap ( anything from a rigid piece of cloth to leather is good for what we’re doing here. )

Hinge ( take it from a small box you don’t use anymore. oh, and maybe a screwdriver. )

a mini speaker ! the only thing you’re supposed to buy for the craft. Purchase the cheapest speaker you can find, since low quality speakers perfectly replicate the “no bass” feel of old radios. :)

If you’re looking for the cosplay materials we talked about, visit CosplayShop ( especially if you’re from Europe since they’re Belgian ), but don’t forget, you can use cardboard !

Step 1 : The pattern

The first thing to do is figuring out the pattern. If you already have your Bluetooth speaker, take it in account for the overall size of the radio.

You don’t need to understand all that complicated stuff, Orion figured it out for you.

Sorry for the shaky hand, I did it with my PC’s trackpad.

Step 2 : Cut the foam around your pattern.

The face and back sides will be cut in 0,7mm EVA Foam ( High Density ) ; then you cut the grill cloth in thinner foam, or using a real cloth. It’s important that part stays thin, for the sound to come out of it.

Above, you also have the pattern for the relief, that I also cut in 0,5mm Foam. Use a cutter for this !

The buttons are just two cylinders. Since they don’t need to be working, they’re pretty simple to make. Just make sure you don’t use a material that’s too thick, else it’ll be hard to bend.

The depth of the radio is just a 10cm wide piece of material, cut to the right size, that’ll vary with the perimeter of your own radio : don’t bother with the calculus, just test and cut a bit more each time until you got the right size.

After everything is cut nicely, you have to glue it with hot glue or contact cement. For perfect seams, I recommend you sand it gently before filling the holes with Foam Clay or Kwik Seal.

Now that your radio is in 3D, you have to make the base ! Use rigid, thicker foam / cardboard, or double it and stick it together. There should be around a centimetre between the edge of the base and the edge of the radio.

Now, don’t glue it if you wanna have access to the speaker inside. Screw and / or glue the hinge in order to open it. Place the hinge on the back side of the radio.

Now, the inside of the radio ! You gotta put a strap to stitch the speaker in place : we used a piece of leather but anything will do. To make it sit nicely, you can build a base to put it on. We built ours with both small pieces of wood and foam, because foam is easier to glue on foam than wood.

Now, it’s painting time ! This step is explained in the first part of these tutorials, but I’m sure you can figure it out with reference pictures !

Ta-da !

We personally use this radio as a prop when roleplaying to develop our Alternate Universe, Eclipse Studios ! By the way, we’re working on a new comic I think people will love…

Don’t forget to ask me if you need help for your own props, since I keep all my patterns and techniques.

I hope you enjoyed this post and this technic radio, and I’ll tell you soon about Eclipse Studios !

I bought myself a really nice computer monitor for work last year and I love it, but the one thing I wish I could change about it is that it doesn't have a speaker.

It does have a headphone jack, though, so when the day came that I needed to get sound from it, I figured I could just go out and buy a cheap speaker, plug it in with an aux cord, and call it a day. (I'm not picky about audio quality as long as it's, well, audible.)

I went to Best Buy. I went to Walmart. I went to Target. I went to Five Below. I spent over an hour on this fool's errand and came home empty-handed. Everywhere I went, there were plenty of speakers to choose from, but there was one problem.

EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. was BLUETOOTH ONLY.

Don't get me wrong, I love Bluetooth. I have a Bluetooth speaker that I use all the time. It's simple, it's convenient, it's my go-to. It does not, however, have an aux input option.

I didn't realize that had become the norm.

I finally found a speaker I liked with different input options, including aux and Bluetooth, listed on Walmart's website. It was entirely sold out. I ended up buying it off eBay.

I like having different options.

Why are options getting taken away from us?

#also while I'm waiting for the speaker I ordered to arrive #I currently have a pair of speakers on my desk that my mom dug out of the basement #that are older than me #probably at least 30 or 40 years old tbh #and they plug right in and they WORK PERFECTLY #I'm still replacing them for a nicer aesthetic but honestly if it wasn't for that #I would keep using them #THINGS USED TO BE BUILT TO LAST #consumers are no longer the priority #ahg

Echo Frame: Moving Alexa into my glasses.

Due to cervical stenosis (Spinal Cord compression) I partially lost the use of my right arm (my good hand), Although the post-surgery recovery is a long and arduous process, I have retained barely sufficient functionality to hold on to my job, so let’s talk about my favorite subject: gadgets.

Being an amazon fanboy has certain setbacks, one of which is being, literally surrounded by Alexa. She is in my phone, TV, earbuds, Bluetooth Speaker, Tablets 0 and a bluetooth speaker + tablet crossover, (Echo Show), so do I need to move Alexa into my glasses? Absolutely!

Echo Frame is basically a glasses frame combined with Bluetooth earbuds that connects to a smartphone, Bose also released their own version of Smart Frames that reportedly produces better sound quality, but it has neither Alexa nor the deep 70% price cut on Amazon Prime Day, so sound quality be damned, I work for a non-profit; which, incidentally is probably why Alexa wouldn’t marry me, but I digress!

The advantage of an Echo Frame is that it eliminates the need for a set of separate earbuds. After fitting it with prescription lenses, the Echo Frame has turned into the best pair of glasses I have owned and I have been wearing glasses for 40 years, I have been wearing it since October this year and have not broken it yet, so it’s fairly durable.

The downside is being a glasses frame, there’s not a lot of real estate devoted to batteries. It only lasts for 8-12 hours per charge, on the other hand it only takes 1 hour for a full charge. Nonetheless I guess having lost partial use of my right hand, combining a pair of glasses with Bluetooth earbuds does make my life a little easier.

I love it when my dad just talks about "the old days", its so refreshing to see a 50+ year old man's takes on the world, no matter how small. Recently he was just praising a bluetooth speaker, literally something so trivial and such a non-revolutionising invention that had low significance to my and many other people of my age's lives. He went on and on about how it was so convenient for such high quality sound to be so cheap and be able to listen to literally any song from his phone. Back then, he had to spend a lot of money on speakers, amplifiers, equalisers etc. just to get a decent sound speaker up, and would have to listen to music from his CDs. If he didnt have the disk for a song he liked, no way of listening to that song. He said he and his friends spent days and weeks on just experimenting with cables and jacks and homemade filters and whatnot to achieve the best audio quality, and now better could be achieved by him just going to his spotify and connecting it to just, in his translated words, such an incomprehensibly small and thin device that looks like a single component of the setup he used to have. The only complaint he has is that most of us gen z kiddies dont have the exposure to tinkering and modifying and changing the gadgets and trinkets we own. This is just one of the many examples where hes done this but its just like, so refreshing to see a different view of everything that we have today, a view thats completely harmless yet can net so much understanding to the thing around us. We live in a world where technology is wildly different from just a single generation of difference, the times are changing, and i cant help but to be excited for the future. Yea yea climate doomerism and late stage capitalism and all that, but small things like these just. idk. give me a hope to see our future. When im 70 the world will be unrecognisable to me today. I hope its for the good.

One of the most well-liked Bluetooth speakers available is the JBL Flip 5. It offers excellent sound quality and is portable and small. The speaker not charging is one of the most frequent difficulties consumers experience, nevertheless, just like with any electronic item. If you’re dealing with this problem and wondering how to fix it, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll explore some simple solutions to help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

Check the Charging Cable The USB cable that comes with the speaker might occasionally be damaged. Your speaker won’t be adequately charged by a subpar USB charging cord. To determine if the issue is with the cable, it is best to test a different or new cable. Take a USB cord from a friend or inquire about a speaker charging cable at an electronics repair shop. If the speaker begins to charge with the new cable, the USB charging cable needs to be changed because it is at fault. In order to prevent experiencing the same issue in a few weeks, it is recommended to replace it with an original cable rather than a third-party one. It wasn’t the cable’s fault if the speaker won’t charge even with a fresh cable, therefore keep the new USB charger for the next step.

Check the Charging Port The JBL Flip 5 speaker’s front panel houses the charging port. There is no protection or door over the charging port to keep out dust. It’s likely that the JBL speaker’s charging connector contains dirt if you used it outside. The speaker won’t charge if there is dirt or dust within the charging port, which prevents the charger from connecting with the speaker. Check for dirt by using a flashlight. Use the flashlight to shine directly into the port to check for debris. Remove any dirt from the interior if there is any. Use a small, soft toothbrush or a toothpick to get rid of the filth. When cleaning the port, you should exercise caution because it is easily damaged. Even if you can’t see any dirt with the flashlight, you should still try to clean it. It’s likely that there is filth within that you cannot see. Try charging the speaker after cleaning the charging port.

Check The Wall Charger Your JBL Flip 5 may not be charging even though the USB cable is working properly, or perhaps both the wall charger and the USB cable are to blame. To see whether this resolves the issue, try a fresh USB cable and wall charger. You ought to select a new wall charger that has the same output power as the old one. It is not advised to choose one with a lower voltage because your speaker won’t charge sufficiently at that rate. The 20W RMS power-rated JBL Flip 5 comes with a 5V/3A wall charger requirement. If the speaker charges using a fresh USB cable and wall charger, the problem is with the wall charger, which needs to be changed. If not, proceed to the following action.

Reset The JBL Flip 5

A software issue could prevent your JBL Flip 5 from charging. A JBL speaker needs to be hard reset in order to solve the majority of software issues. The speaker’s settings will be erased and the hard reset will return the device to its original state.

Turn off your speaker: Press and hold the power button until the speaker turns off.

Press and hold the Bluetooth and Volume Up buttons: While the speaker is turned off, press and hold the Bluetooth button and the Volume Up button at the same time.

Wait for the reset to complete: Keep holding the buttons until the LEDs on the front of the speaker flash. This may take up to 10 seconds.

Turn on your speaker: Once the LEDs stop flashing, release the buttons and turn on the speaker by pressing the power button.

Reconnect to Bluetooth: If you were previously connected to a device via Bluetooth, you’ll need to reconnect your speaker to that device. If restarting your speaker doesn’t fix the issue, there can be a more serious issue that needs additional investigation. But maybe this quick reset will help you resolve the JBL Flip 5 charging problem.

Dry The Wet Charging Port Although the JBL Flip 5 is IPX7 waterproof, the charging connector is still susceptible to being wet. The speaker won’t charge if the charging port is damp; instead, you must first dry it. You can use a hairdryer to dry a damp charging port, just make sure to use the hairdryer at low temperatures. The speaker could be harmed by excessive heat. Use a hairdryer to dry the speaker for about 5 minutes, and then wait at least 24 hours before attempting to charge it.

Different Wall Outlet It’s time to replace the wall outlet if you’ve already changed the USB cable and the wall charger. You run the risk of having a damaged wall outlet when charging your speaker. So, test various charging outlets to be sure.
