[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little thing is a beast!!! Noticeably sturdy out of the box, so was eager to connect and see what degree of volume and audio quality this thing pushed out. WOW!!!
Let me tell you, after 30+ years of being a music junkie and cycling through more portable speakers than I care to admit, the JBL Flip 7 is seriously impressive. Maybe, perfect?
First off, the volume on this little beast is ridiculous. I had it cranked in my bathroom while showering, and I could enjoy the volume - the highs - the mids - the lows - over the water and fan. Super CRISP at the highest volumes - bathroom, garage, kitchen, backyard, etc. Did NOT expect such quality and projection from something this size.
The bass response floored me. I've always been skeptical about portable speakers actually delivering low-end that you can feel, but the Flip 7 proves me wrong. Put on some proper 90s hip-hop or Led Zep and you get that chest-thumping thump I usually only expect from larger systems. Those passive radiators on the ends aren't just for show!!
Sound clarity across the spectrum is where this thing really shines. The separation between instruments is crystal clear - you can pick out individual guitar parts, vocal layers, and percussion elements that get muddied on lesser speakers.
Battery life is solid too - took it camping last weekend and got through an entire day and evening of music without needing a recharge. The waterproofing came in handy when it started raining, didn't miss a beat.
This thing delivers!! If you're like me and music isn't just background noise but something you actually listen to, the Flip 7 is worth every penny. Might grab another one just to pair them up for stereo sound in the workshop.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just when you thought the Flip couldn't get any better...JBL comes out with the upgraded Flip 7. With an increased weight to this unit it packs a sound punch that is noticeable different than other previous models. With the new edition of a sound boost, man this thing is even more amazing than its previous mode. I love the new loop and carabiner. It clips perfectly on the pool bag. I'm keeping this one and the old model is now my sons. Get yours today. Don't wait.

Sounds good but mid and high frequency is like it seem to be trembling and twitching and interrupting

We appreciate your feedback on our JBL Flip 7. Please check the equalizer settings of your phone and set it to default. We also recommend trying to connect it with a different device or play audio using a different application. You may also try doing a Factory Reset. Reset may fix the issue, much in the way rebooting a computer or phone fixes many problems. And then you will have to manually re-pair again. To do this, please press play and plus buttons for more than two seconds. If you need more help, please contact our customer support.
