    Sounds Great When it Wants to

    • Written by from New York

    I had high hopes of this speaker after all the great reviews it got. But when I got home and tried it out it was horrible. After charging it for 3 hours, the speaker sounded low and muffled as if it had been submerged in water. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and hoped that I just gotten the bad one of the bunch and exchanged it for another. The second one wouldn't connect at all to my MacBook, or iPad. I finally got it to work on my phone and it sounded great (which is why I gave it two stars) but it would skip parts of the song or glitch too much making it hard to enjoy the music. I wouldn't recommend it at all unfortunately.

    While the sound quality is pretty decent, the bluetooth connection is very unreliable. It keeps cutting out when connected and then takes a really long time to reconnect. Also has to be very close to whatever it's connecting to or it doesn't work. I'm bummed that I will be returning to store, was hoping not to have to spend a fortune just to get a decent wireless speaker.

    Bluetooth FAIL

    Was really excited when I bought this little guy. The sound was pretty robust for how much you pay and the battery life was cool. The downfall of this product is it's bluetooth connection.

    If I have the speaker 2 feet away and I place the phone in my pocket, the bluetooth immediately cuts out. Any time the smallest barrier comes between the speaker and device, no matter how short the distance is, the bluetooth becomes spotty and struggles to maintain the sound.

    I bought the Logitech UE portable boom box as its replacement and I'm way more content than I was with the Flip.

    Jus sayin'
