JBL - Flip

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.

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.

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

Charge has more bass. Flip is lighter more portable. One of my favorite speaker of all time is the JBL Clip 4. But the 5 is better because the power button doesn’t get hit by accident like the 4. Smaller speaker but it sounds great and extremely portable and great battery life.

Jbl flip is a good portable speaker. Just pay attention because jbl removed the line in jack from later versions of the flip.

This is what it's all about. The sweet spot. For me it's the charge, for others it's the flip or the xtreme, depending on what you're ok traveling with.

Tribit Micro is a great pocket speaker. Earfun Uboom X is a high value bass blaster. Bose soundlink flex is a nice middle ground speaker and the JBL flip & Charge have good bass for the size.

Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 decent for the size and weight. I use one on the bike sometimes. .6lbs. Earfun uboom L and the JBL Flip are good soda can size speakers. Both are under 2lbs. Of the speakers you have in mind I would go for the 2.1lb JB charge 6 over the heavy suckers. The Soundcore Moton Boom 2 Is a good & relatively lightweight camping speaker if you want bass. Not too fancy or expensive. 3.6lbs. That is the heaviest speaker I would want to hike with.

I think technically Bose Flex is the absolute best sounding small personal speaker. The JBL Flip 6 is a great sounding speaker. To me, it sounded better than the prior model the Flip 5. I do like speakers with small footprints personally. I do like the Flip and Charges from JBL and the Wonderboom and Boom from UE because of the small footprint.

The cylinder are a safer bet with kayaking. The JBL Flip or Charge or UE Wonderboom or Boom. The Soundcore Glow should be good too.

Yeah, the flip is the perfect portable speaker entry series, go find a discount and get one!

They are mono, I think. At least, when I've mastered a track, I often find anything I've put wide in the mix seems to have phasing issues on the JBL. Might not matter for jamming with Move though

JBL flips are pretty small and they bang. Obviously don't mix on them but for writing they're great.

Then go get the jbl flip! Its for the size a fantastic speaker

What is your budget and use case. I chose the Charge because it was smaller and cheaper than the bigger ones, but sounded batter than the flip.

I have the Mackie CR3-X. If you're OK with a pair of powered speakers, they're lightweight, and quick to setup. I'll set them up for a quick session at my kitchen table, and they work alright for that purpose. I don't love them, but they're ok. On the battey powered side, I've got a JBL flip that has an aux in. I thought it would be perfect, but every time I've tried to use it the sound cuts out periodically. I'm hesitant to buy anything else bc I keep getting disappointed, so I'm really curious to hear recommendations from others.

Sony has warmer sound, also looks and feels better. Especially for older people sony sound better Jbl Flip has a bit more 'power' tho, that you don't need if you are not outside with your friends trying to blast loud music You could also consoder Soundcore Motion+ for this price, but you'd have to tweak a bit in the EQ. If you want a bigger speaker overall, Charge Essential 2 might be an option. All around the price region of the Sony, especially witz black friday coming up

JBL. I have had one for years. It’s water resistant. Has great sound. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive. I have literally dropped it in the bath tub with the kids and it still sounds great. Also for rock you can turn on “party mode” which makes is louder and heavier bass.

I have the Flip.

For portable jams, get a JBL Flip, that thing sounds amazing. Just make sure to get one with an AUX input as new models are bluetooth only

I used to have a JBL flip but hated how the bass would be dimmed due to higher treble and mid frequencies. I now have a UE Boom 3 (bc it was the most affordable) and honestly I love it! The bass is strong, and I’ve actually had noise complaints bc of it lol, so it can definitely handle loud and bass heavy music. The best part is that if others have UE speakers, you can connect them and put them in different parts of the house. That way you can have the music playing from different parts of your home.

Jbl Flip for sure

Ill never not recommend the JBL flip series

Flip works best for my use case just because it's easy to travel due to its size and shape with but loud enough to fill a room.

Right. And since u said price is not important, id say get a JBL Flip instead. Its portable enough, has longer or better battery capacities, loud enough without messing up the audio. Bass has a nice touch too, adds more weight into that whole, intact music. Its portable enough in a way that u can carry it on a single hand or just shove it on your pocket while walking. About... 7~8inch long and 2~3inch wide. Its literally a glass or water in size.

JBL Flip is great. Get one of the older models with the aux 1/8” input.

JBL flip series. Fits perfect in a bottle holder or can be mounted to the frame.

JBLs are go to for price and quality, flip series is good

JBL Flip series, great bang for buck, literally! Once you pair a few, it becomes magical.
