The JBL Flip 4 is marketed as a low-cost offering, which means the current price tag is slightly on the higher side here compared to other offerings in the same range. However, given the variety on offer, there’s going to be something for everyone. Much like other JBL speakers in this range, the Flip 4 can be bought in a total of eight colors, so you’re bound to be confused between a few colors. That’s where the Charge 3 comes in, but more on that later. However, considering the form factor, speakers like these might not be suited for longer gatherings or parties as it would require to be recharged again. The speaker consists of a 3,000 mAh battery underneath. Recharging doesn’t take more than 4-5 hours, so you shouldn’t have a problem there. For a speaker as loud as this, that’s pretty cool.
The speakers are IPX7 certified water resistant, making it ideally suited for outdoor use.Īs far as battery life is concerned, the Flip 4 can last up to 12 hours on a full charge. Despite its smaller form factor, the JBL Connect app allows users to pair additional Flip 4 speakers to create a louder stereo sound from the two speakers. In terms of use cases, the Flip 4 is convenient for small gatherings (mostly indoor) or for a small group of people outdoors. But prepare to be impressed as the Flip 4 is pretty loud with little to no distortion even when the volume is cranked up to the max. With this in mind, users will probably not have a good perception of its sound quality. For measure, let’s take a beer can for example, these speakers are pretty much the same size but slightly taller.
