JBL - Flip 3

You can't send sound over Bluetooth, so your latency worries can be laid to rest. I have a JBL Flip 3 which has an Aux Port. I found it at TJ Maxx for 14.99 and should be easy to track one down. It's a few years older, but still sounds good enough for the Live while at the park or on the sofa. Bluetooth is for input devices like a keyboard, midi Tx/Rx to an iPad. It won't send audio and has been disabled.

I still use a 3 that works great to this day.

Jbl flip 3 gave 2 hours of full volume and the flip 4 gives about 5, for the size it is i said hell yea

My first jbl speaker from a verizon perk 10-12 years ago flip 3 still works like a charm. Have added others over time but it still holds charge forever, sound is clear, loud if i need it to be. Current model should be in your price range easily.

My flip 3 is used daily since i bought, now repurposed as PC speaker and now my ex has it and I believe it's still being used daily. I wouldn't worry so much. My charge 6 I bought recently is also just fine, I "abuse" it as a shower speaker and it holds up just fine

OK, we have your budget. That's a good start. What's your use case? Where do you listen? What types of music? How portable do you want the speaker? How big is TOO big? I own several Tribit speakers (a pair of Stormbox Micro 2s and a new Lava), as well as Bose (a Smart Speaker and a pair of Flex 2s). I've owned JBLs in the past (Charge 5, Charge 5 WiFi, Flips 2-4) and have nothing against them, but my use case precluded keeping any of the JBLs. I have the paired Micro 2s attached to my sailboat's lifelines in the cockpit for good stereo sound, and down below in the cabins I switch out my pair of Bose Flex 2s with Sony XG300s depending on my mood. If I need loud, it's the Sony's. If I need detail and am playing "quieter" tunes, it's the Flex 2s. On the dock when I'm gardening, washing boats, or entertaining, I pull out the Tribit Lava...or sometimes grab my pair of Sonos Move 2s if I have a group of more than 20 people on the back deck or foredeck (Sea Ranger 52 Trawler) so we can cover both areas.

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.

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.
