JBL Flip review: Portable Bluetooth speaker stands tall

The Flip's decent performance and attractive design make it a worthy Bluetooth speaker contender at $100.

The affordable ; is a compact portable Bluetooth speaker that is designed to be used horizontally or vertically. It sounds good and plays loudly for its size, has speakerphone capabilities, and ships with a neoprene carrying case.

The unit is powered by a generic, somewhat bulky AC adapter instead of USB, and the 5-hour battery life is only OK. It doesn't handle bass-heavy material incredibly well.

JBL Flip black

At this price, it sits between the Jawbone Jambox , the Beats Pill , and several other contenders in the $150-$200 price range, and smaller speakers such as JBL's Micro and Philips' grenade-shaped SoundShooter SBT30ORG/37 , which costs $50 and also has...

JBL Flip, OnBeat Venue offer big sound

Overall, I did enjoy the Flip and had the chance to pit it against the Zooka. Both speakers rock, but the Zooka edges it out in size, portability and sound. They cost the same price, but the Zooka may not be able at local retailers.
