Summertime is party time. And parties are never complete without music you can vibe with. To get that party vibe, you gotta have the right speakers. So now, we choose: The Huawei Sound Joy or the JBL Flip 5?

At first glance, it looks like an event match. But a closer look will reveal which one is the smarter choice.

Let’s get the obvious out of the way. First thing that people consider is how much they’re shelling out.

Price and sound quality

And these two speakers have the same suggested retail price — PhP 6,999. Tough start. But let’s see how these two are different.

Naturally, the next most important thing to consider is sound quality. JBL has proven themselves in this space. They are a go-to brand, especially for audio devices.

Meanwhile, Huawei is backed by a history of excellence in hardware products. The Flip 5 has one 20W full frequency speaker. And two passive radiators.

Huawei has the same aforementioned components and adds a 10W tweeter to the mix. Additionally, the Sound Joy is tuned by Devialet — a brand known for its high-fidelity products.

The two brands are no strangers to each other. They also worked together on the Huawei Sound X.

Check out the video above to hear how each one sounds like.

Battery Life

Battery life might be something not too many think about when getting a speaker. But it’s definitely something to look at. Especially when you plan to take the speaker outdoors.

You don’t want it running out of juice just as the party is getting started.

The Flip 5 has a 4,800mAh battery with a promised play time of about 12 hours. It charges via USB-C.

Meanwhile, the Sound Joy nearly doubles those numbers with 8,800mAh of battery with a play time of about 26 hours. Charging should also be a breeze with its support for 40W dash charge, also via USB-C.

Connectivity

Connectivity should be a no-brainer, right? Just a bluetooth connection that works and we’re all good. Well. Not exactly.

This is where the Sound Joy really kicks it into high gear.

The JBL Flip 5, as expected, has bluetooth support. BTS.1 to be exact. But the Huawei Sound Joy immediately trumps that with BTS.2.

And it gets even better with these four features: Shake Stereo Link Up, Automatic Discovery, One-touch transfer, Huawei Watch control.

Shake Stereo Link Up is quite literal. You just shake two Sound Joys, 3 meters apart, and they will instantly connect to form a stereo speaker system.

Automatic Discovery brings up a pop-up on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop whenever you’re near a Sound Joy. Making pairing a breeze.

One-Touch Transfer requires NFC tech which most flagship phones have. It’s also a straight-forward feature. When a song is playing on your phone, simply tap the Sound Joy and the music will play from your phone to the speaker.

HUAWEI Watch Control also functions as expected. You just tap your supported Huawei Watch to the speaker, and it lets you control the music it plays.

These four smart features definitely elevate the way you interact with a portable speaker.

Design

Design-wise, the Sound Joy and Flip 5 look similar at first glance and in some of the ways they function.

Both can operate vertically or horizontally. They can also be carried. But the Sound Joy adds a few things to the mix.

For one, it has an IP67 water and dust resistance. Unlike the Flip 5 which only has IPX7 water resistance.

This feature allows for this cool thing that you can do on the Sound Joy. The top of the speaker has a light ring. It’s a battery life indicator. The circle comes undone as the speaker discharges. But it also shows multicolor effects when you play music. Now, splash it with water, and just observe the coolness.

The smarter choice?

After going through all the set of features, picking isn’t so hard now is it? It also helps that the Sound Joy is part of the Huawei Super Device system.

That means it will work seamlessly with the rest of your Huawei devices. If it’s unclear what that is, we have a whole other video explaining what it is.

With its Longer battery life, smart connectivity functions, and overall sound quality, the Huawei Sound Joy is easily the smarter choice.
