We are talking about the new JBL Flip 4. This new Bluetooth speaker comes with a good audio performance that offers rich bass and well-defined highs.
JBL is known as being one of the biggest titans when it comes to portable Bluetooth speakers. For example, all of its sub-150 dollars wireless devices offer a great job in both design fronts and sound quality. These days, the company comes with a new speaker, called the Flip 4.
Customers will be able to buy this speaker at the price of 99.99 dollars. The Flip 4 comes with a strong audio experience, especially for its size and price.
One of the best things about it is that it can be submerged in swimming pools at limited depths. But, even if we have only good things to say about this new speaker, we should not forget that there are some huge competitors on the 100 dollars market.
Moving to the design, as we mentioned earlier, the new JBL Flip 4 is IPX7-rated. This means that this new speaker can be submerged up to a meter in the swimming pool or generally in water. So, the new JBL Flip 4 can be a great device to take at the pool, the beach, and hikes.
Customers will be able to buy this speaker in a high number of colors: black, grey, blue, teal, red, and white.
Moreover, JBL’s speaker has 2.6 x 6.9 x 2.7 inches and approximately 1.1 pounds. Aside from its good-looking cloth grille, customers should know that this speaker also comes with dual 40mm drivers, each driven with 8 watts.
To be added that at either end, the company added passive radiators in purpose to improve the overall bass response of the system.
Moreover, along these edges, there are also some rubber buttons for volume up/down controls, play/pause and Bluetooth pairing.
Unfortunately, the company didn’t add track navigation keys, which means that customers will have to skip tracks on their mobile devices. It is important to know that the playback button doubles as the speakerphone control.
Along the body, customers will also find a power button and a JBL Connect+ button that will allow them to link up to four Flip speakers. Moreover, this button also has ports for the micro USB charging cable and 3.5mm aux input.
As for the speakerphone, this feature offers decent intelligibility. The voice call quality is decent, although there are some audio artifacts.
The company claims that the speaker’s battery life could go up to approximately 12 hours of use. But, it is important to mention that this number can vary depending on the volume levels that people are using.
Moving to the performance, we must say that the new JBL Flip 4 comes with intense sub-bass content. This speaker delivers an impressive sound for its size and price.
At top volume, the new JBL Flip 4 has the ability to avoid distorting on the seriously deep base hits. So, in the end, we must say that the new JBL Flip 4 is really worth the 100 dollars price.
