JBL - Flip 7

I'm a huge jbl fan boy but this is where I disagree the new flip 7 I belive has 35 or 40 watts and the charge 6 has 45 most bookshelf speakers are 20 to 50 watts per enclosure even with the bookshelves being at the minmum it still can be pushed to its max without compressing unlike the jbls after 70% the jbls dsp kicks in and compresses low to low mid frequencies to help reduce distortion and keep clarity unlike bookshelves where you can push them and push them with keeping the spl of all frequencies somewhat the same and when distortion happens guess what just dial back the gain a bit , pair that with components that are designed to have a flat frequency response and an amp with lets say a 12 band eq or even a 6 band eq and now you have a fully customizable sound stage and eq, now let's argue yes the new jbl gens do have a 12 band eq but not only does jbls amp have a preset eq and dsp but much like the partyboost I bet you when the auracast is active it will turn off custom eqs to keep the fr the same through both enclosures yes you have system eqs on Android and there are apps that let you controll the signals eq but either way the preset dsp will compress and compress the signal the more you mess with the eq unlike vintage equipment or bookshelf speakers in general they not only have flat response drivers but they have an actual enclosure not just for increased fr but spl aswell. You have to think about it too both enclosures are for a completely different purpose. The cheapest hifi system will blow two flip 6s or charge 6s out of the water no doubt maybe not in db but most definitely in quality of sound and low to subsonic fr. Now let's say op were to get two jbl bb3s now you are talking that's something that will contest with most bookshelf speakers or hifi systems, sure you won't have that flat response but the bb3 is pretty wide (in the fr) and has a a 3 way setup that's an effecient setup especially when put into stereo mode now you have two mids two tweeters and a dedicated sub for the left and right channel now that's gonna blow this setup out the water. Jbl definitely does have hifi components but not on their small to mid sized portable speakers like for example idk if anyone else feels like this but jbls (samsung, harman Kardon) drivers tuning is very high pitched with sub bass and low mids? Even on the mid woofers it lacks detail and the tweeters have to much presence.

Flip 6 or flip 7. Their really portable and sound just as good as the charges. If you want a powerbank then you should look into the charge 5

No there's practically no difference between the flip 6 and charge 5. Aswell as the flip 6 to the flip 7 and charge 5 to the charge 6 have no difference and nothing major different then the old models. If you don't need a powerbank get a flip 6

Bose soundlink flex 2 has great bass for on the go. Especially for it's size. If you play with the eq in the bose app and put it in the corner. It sounds way bigger that it's size. Earfun Uboom X is also great. Its larger but almost the same price as the bose. The bass on it is fantastic. Devialet Mania is an wonderful sounding speaker. Big bass, great highs, and a big price haha 😉 Jbl flip 7 or charge 6 are great for outdoor usage.

That 30w speaker sounds the same as jbl flip 7, I have both and compared them, xiaomi has even a tiny bit more bass

I bought the latest JBL Flip 7 for US$108/ AED 399 in Dubai. Absolutely worth it.

If you want a portable speaker that's affordable and has good sound: Flip 7/charge 5 If you want a speaker that's protable and you only want good sound: boom box 3/4 Non portable that's affordable: party box 110/130 Partybox with crazy good sound: 710/1000/Ultimate

Thanks for sharing my link! The JBL Charge 6, Flip 7, and the 2024 Beats Pill are the only Bluetooth speakers that I'm aware of that offer lossless audio. But yeah, it's only over a USB-C wired connection. You can't even run a second one for stereo performance in wired mode either, so you're stuck with mono.

Not sure about 5 speakers as I only have 2. I assume it will eventually disconnect with some distance but I'm impressed with how far away my two speakers can be from each other. I have the JBL Charge6 and the JBL Flip7. The Charge6 is my host speaker. I keep it in one room at the corner of my house. The Flip7 maintains a connection no matter where I put it in my house with the farthest distance from the host speaker being about 60' and that's through multiple walls as well. I haven't yet tried it at any greater distance.

I went for 2x flip7 Then you get proper stereo separation. Game changer!

Honestly I always like to recommend a jbl charge 5/6 (if you have the extra money to spend on the 6, go for that). Or the jbl flip 7/6, there both awesome speakers that can get crazy loud when you need them too, but won’t wake the neighbors up when your trying to just listen to music casually.
