Amazing, warm and full bodied sound. This thing is a killer.
I have used: Jbl Flip 2,4 / JBL Charge 3,4 / HK Aura Studio 3 / Soundcore Boom 2 / Marshall Stanmore 2, Middleton 1 / Bose Soundlink Max............alongside my Kef HiFi. So believe me when I say that this little guy is the best bang for buck in the quality speaker segment.
Everything from bass beats to guitars, it sounds amazing. This little guy has detail in its music, and sounds just as good in low volumes until 80% volume. Beyond that the DSP reduces bass and focuses on the highs, but the bass is still present. You can not go wrong with this, whether be portability, long listening hours or as your only room speaker. etc.
Personally, It is my palm sized Hi-Fi even if it is Mono. Get it for 120€ then its a good deal.
I thought you must be wrong about the early Flips. My first bluetooth speaker was a Flip 2 and I only stopped using it because it wouldn't charge any longer and the process to replace the battery just wasn't worth it. Looked up the specs and was surprised to see that it has 2 40mm drivers. And it came with a carrying case!
Things have come a long way since then but I just started the search for a replacement for my second bluetooth speaker and noted the flip 6/7 is mono. That was surprising but then I wondered how far apart do the drivers need to be to make stereo a real thing (or how close do I need to be). Makes sense to be mono. And if you pair two then we have both a tweeter and mid rather than a left and right with two basic drivers as in many other speakers. But I am only buying one speaker now.
My searches before for a small speaker were simple: Flip was the big name in 2014. I saw a sale for Tribit Stormbox in 2019. Now I'm researching and it's so difficult to decide what to go with, especially when comparing single vs dual driver models. I think that means most name brand ones are good quality and I won't have regrets no matter which I go with.
Thanks for your post.
I’ve had two JBL Flips prior to getting the JBL Flip 3 and the only reason I had to replace the previous two was because of the damn micro USB connector getting messed up. The current JBL Flip has been rock solid for the past two and half years.
