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 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 7: Lab Tested - RTINGS.com

The JBL Flip 7 is decent for use outdoors. It gets loud enough with an even sound with good clarity, and has an app full of EQ options too. It has an IP68 rating, and it's advertised to withstand a one-meter drop, so it can handle the elements, and it...
