JBL - Flip

This is what I use as well and my boat has a stereo system. JBL Flip sounds great and doesn’t drain my batteries.

It seems that 10 out of 40,000,000 have had an issue. Watch out. :D buy a lotto ticket or a flip, or a plane ticket, same chances

Yeah, realistically that isn't going to happen, replacing 10 speakers with 1-3 is tough as it is, much less when those 10 speakers were designed for the space they are in and those 1-3 are jammed into an enclosure with the amp and battery in a single unit... I mean the closest you will get is a one of the big JBL Party Boxes which honestly isn't very portable at like 75 pounds and 45 inches tall, not to mention they run a grand or so. If you just want decent sound quality -AND- portability the JBL Flip, Charge, or even the Extreme series are pretty decent, but for high end quality you are going to be going well over the $500 mark... KEF, Bowers & Wilkens, Sonos, etc. And Bose... Yeah, I am not a huge fan... I would take the Infinity system in my Hyundai over it in a heartbeat for sound quality.

JBL Flip. I use it over the boat stereo. Sounds great, doesn't drain the battery

I’ve wondered the same thing. Even small Bluetooth speakers were always stereo originally. If you remember, the first few generations of the HK Onyx Studio, JBL Charge, JBL Flip, etc., were all stereo, then suddenly everything was mono. I can understand it for the very smallest speakers - Bose Micro, Tribit Micro, JBL Go, etc. - it wouldn’t make sense to try to cram dual speakers into those tiny housings or to try to create stereo sound in such a small space, but with the rest of them, I don’t get it. The only thing I can think of is the ‘race for the bass.’ After a while, it evolved to where all anyone cared about was ‘how much bass is there?’ and if companies could cram 1 large woofer into the same space that had once held 2, or even 4, smaller speakers, they could produce much more bass. The other possibility, as someone suggested when I asked basically the same question on another post a couple of weeks ago, is so that companies can now force you to buy 2 speakers instead of 1 if you want stereo sound.

I'm like your dad with the old vintage system from my college days. I cherish them, but I also bought into the JBL Flip environment and don't regret it one bit. Do it and buy two to pair. Amazing sound.

Klipsch The One in my dining room. Marshall Acton III in my BR. I LOVE these. The sound, the look, everything. Several JBL clip 5s for the yard that I auracast. Love this feature for sound throughout the yard that’s not too loud (unless I want it to be). In my office, I have a super old Pioneer XWSMA4 that used early wireless tech (not Bluetooth). The wireless was always hit or miss with it but the sound is good so I (gasp) wire it to my iPhone when I’m using it. I can’t bear to get rid of it cuz it was such a stretch financially when I first got it. You all get me right? No one else does. I have a JBL flip just in case. I bring this on vacation or I’ll bring a clip or both. I also have two oontz angles that started me on this Bluetooth speaker journey. They still work great too. So I have those for when I want to have music and not worry about my speakers.

Audio is wholly subjective so it's whatever you prefer; I know people who are fully team JBL; I'm team Bose. Back in the day I purchased the first generation JBL Flip based on positive reviews, I disliked it so much I sold (flipped) it immediately. But they may have improved somewhat since then?

JBL Flip. Sounds super good! 👍🏻 Used to be much much cheaper but price has gotten up these years
