Boom 2
Loud, bassy beast; needs EQ, no aux.
Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
Just good luck trying to fix it, it's impossible to remove the battery, I spent about 6hrs trying to remove mine and had to throw it in the trash in the end. Now I have a brand new replacement battery that I have no use for.
I have the Charge 3 and 2 Flip 3's I pair them all together thru the app for a l'il backyard chiil n' grill sesh
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.
Same. Fucking tanks. Same cant be said about the Flip 4 tho. 😔 Our fam burned through two of those and the 3 still soldiers on.
We had the usb break on two flip 4s for some reason, while the Flip 3 soldiers on.
Using my flip 3 as I type this. It just doesn’t die. The red light will blink for hours lol, don’t think the battery has ever died on me. After a few days of blinking I go “Better charge it “.
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.
