    Believe the hype

    • Written by from Lombard

    I was looking for a speaker that sounded good and was semi portable. I wasn't sure about this speaker at first because it wasn't setup at the store to test out. I got it home and it sounds great, don't let the looks fool you. I thought it was going to be a flat sounding portable speaker. But what this is a rich sounding portable speaker. You can't go wrong with this speaker if you are looking for a small portable speaker that has decent sound.

    Had to get a portable radio so I took a chance with this one. At first glance, it doesn't look like it can pack a punch but it definitely can. I like the Bluetooth connection as well because it allows me to have my phone on me while I'm playing music. I am impressed!

    I just got it today. I compared it to a couple of other models by other makers, both of which I respect and one that I'm stubbornly loyal to. I had some JBL speakers in high school though, and this Flip caught my eye.

    In the store, she instantly had the other two contenders eating her dust.

    Got home, opened the box and charged the battery, tested it out and laughed out loud at the beauty of this fine product.

    Very, very pleased. Hats off to the fine people of JBL and the fine people of Apple for providing us with this.

    Very proud.

    JBL FLIP = Clear sound, deep bass at a really small price!

    I went originally to the apple store to buy either a Jambox or a JBL MICRO. But I ended buying a JBL Flip. The sales person at the store said that this product should do the work as good as a jambox (which is more expensive) and hundred times better than a JBL Micro ($40 less). So, I've decided to trust him and give it a try!! As soon as the pairing was made with my mac and the music started, I knew I bought an incredible product! And there's also a Mic to answer calls that works great! I saw some reviews that said that the Bluetooth wasn't working properly with an obstruction between the phone and the speaker. So, I went I'm my garage to test it, I placed my phone behind a 2 inch metal plate at 20 feet away from the speaker and the sound was still perfect! I highly recommend it to someone who want to buy a good portable speaker with big sound and deep bass at around $100-150.

    LOVE THIS LIL SPEAKER!!!!

    I was looking & looking to get a speaker.... Took me a moth to drop the $$$ due to the reviews. So I said for only $100 why not! Since I can't stop listening to the music!!! JBL really out did themselves with such a small compact bluetooth speaker. Granted some of the other speakers out there you spend more money for you'll have better quality, but for $100 (actually $99.99) this lil speakers are more then loud enough ti listen to music either on your iPhone/ iPad/ MAC etc... Also I listen to EVERY genre and love and they handle all music with no issue.

    Great for Classroom Training

    I do a lot of presentations and this is a very easy product to use. The first time that I used it, I literally took it out of the packaging and plugged it into the wall and connected an audio cable to my iphone. I appreciate both the ability to use it plugged into a power source as well as the wireless (bluetooth) and internal rechareable battery. You can place the speakers closer to the audience and speak from the podium and still control the volume from the iphone volume buttons. The sound is phenominal and the ability to fill a room is the best I have used for portable speakers.

    This speaker has not let me down. I use this when I go over to my boyfriends house because he has an old boombox and its funny how this thing can outperform that! It is small, easy to take with you wherever you go, and best of all, it is so loud for its size. It also has bluetooth connectivity which is great when I want to watch DVDs on my computer and dont want to plug anything in. Hands-down, great investment for price - I'm gonna get my little brother one for his birthday.

    You would be hard pressed to find a blue tooth speaker this size with this much kick for a better price. This is a great buy. I bought one for each room of my apartment. I like having parties on weekends and my friends love that they can play music from their phones when they visit.

    Absolutely brilliant

    I bought my first JBL speakers in 1981. At that time, most music I listended to was mastered using JBL studio monitors and always sounded superb on other JBL speakers. Now I travel a lot for work and have much of my music collection on my laptop. But listening on headphones is just not quite the same, is it....so I lwent searching for the best bluetooth portable speakers for me....

    The Apple Stores I visited don't typically demo the JBL Flips. Having now purchased and listened to them, the reason why is clear. They would never sell the more expensive Jambox nor Dr Beats pill if they did! The JBLs are SO far in front on musical quality, it is a joke! That JBL can make them for $99 is both miraculous and a gift to anyone who wants top musical quality from a lighweight, portable speak at a reasonable price. And it comes with a carry case too. JBL focus on making make speakers, and always good ones...these are no exception. Sure, some look more trendy (but the JBLs are nice too), and others have a deeper base, but none I have listened to come close for overall musical quality.

    At least try them - you won't regret it!

    This thing has INCREDIBLE sound and works perfectly with my iPhone and iPad. Exceptional quality and exceptional sound. Very happy with my purchase! Makes watching movies or shows on my Ipad so much more incredible because of the huge amount of sound and detail it puts out. And don't get me started on playing music from my iPhone - Amazing!!!

    It;s amazing how good (and how loud) this speaker is. I've seen some reviews mention blue tooth connection problems. I've had no problems when I'm connected by my iPhone 5, but some dropped connections when using my first generation iPad. I recommend this speaker.

    JBL Flip...GREAT SPEAKER!

    • Written by from El Paso

    7 of 8 people found this useful

    First, I can't believe this speaker is not advertised on the wireless speaker page of the Apple Store...you have look it up in the search box. I have the Bose Soundlink which sounds Great...but then I also bought the Shocbox which was a dismal speaker. The Shocbox had a great theory on it's design, but failed miserably on sound and pairing. Now, I just got my new JBL Flip, which is clear, loud and nicely designed. It is not as loud as my Bose, but again for it's size it is quite impressive. I wanted a very portable speaker for school, as I am a PE teacher at an elementary school so my kids and I could have music wherever we go on the playground. Super sound at a very reasonable price. You can't go wrong with this speaker and I highly recommend the JBL Flip!

    Thanks to JBL for making an excellent product. Blows the Jawbone Jambox mini away in sound, loudness, styling and only 2/3 the price of the overpriced Jawbone..

    What a bluetooth speaker should sound like!

    I've listen to them all including the Bose Soundlink and nothing sounds as good as the JBL Flip.Hands down the best.Long battery life,easy to connect and good distance. This speaker is also loud and very clear at it's loudest.Good base and great highs.Forget the $200 Foxl and check this out for under a hundred.You will be happy with this one.Better get it at this price because JBL is catching on to it's popularity .I've seen it for $129 elsewhere.
