[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just when you thought the Flip couldn't get any better...JBL comes out with the upgraded Flip 7. With an increased weight to this unit it packs a sound punch that is noticeable different than other previous models. With the new edition of a sound boost, man this thing is even more amazing than its previous mode. I love the new loop and carabiner. It clips perfectly on the pool bag. I'm keeping this one and the old model is now my sons. Get yours today. Don't wait.

Little Powerhouse Perfection!!
5 out of 5 rating
GoodPizzaPie . 24 days ago
Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little thing is a beast!!! Noticeably sturdy out of the box, so was eager to connect and see what degree of volume and audio quality this thing pushed out. WOW!!!
Let me tell you, after 30+ years of being a music junkie and cycling through more portable speakers than I care to admit, the JBL Flip 7 is seriously impressive. Maybe, perfect?
First off, the volume on this little beast is ridiculous. I had it cranked in my bathroom while showering, and I could enjoy the volume - the highs - the mids - the lows - over the water and fan. Super CRISP at the highest volumes - bathroom, garage, kitchen, backyard, etc. Did NOT expect such quality and projection from something this size.
The bass response floored me. I've always been skeptical about portable speakers actually delivering low-end that you can feel, but the Flip 7 proves me wrong. Put on some proper 90s hip-hop or Led Zep and you get that chest-thumping thump I usually only expect from larger systems. Those passive radiators on the ends aren't just for show!!
Sound clarity across the spectrum is where this thing really shines. The separation between instruments is crystal clear - you can pick out individual guitar parts, vocal layers, and percussion elements that get muddied on lesser speakers.
Battery life is solid too - took it camping last weekend and got through an entire day and evening of music without needing a recharge. The waterproofing came in handy when it started raining, didn't miss a beat.
This thing delivers!! If you're like me and music isn't just background noise but something you actually listen to, the Flip 7 is worth every penny. Might grab another one just to pair them up for stereo sound in the workshop.

JBL Flip 7 Review
5 out of 5 rating
Dogsnif . 25 days ago
Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’ve ever used a JBL speaker, you know they take portable sound seriously—and the Flip 7 is no exception. As the latest model in their popular Flip series, it’s a compact speaker that delivers impressive performance with a few upgrades that make it even better for everyday use, road trips, beach days, and just about anything else.
The Flip 7 keeps JBL’s signature cylindrical design but adds a few subtle improvements. The outer fabric is now more rugged and grippy, giving it a more premium feel and better handling. The passive bass radiators on both ends have been refined for a sleeker look and deeper sound. For outdoor use, the Flip 7 now boasts an IP68 rating—an upgrade from the previous IP67—making it even more resistant to dust and water. JBL also introduced a new Push-Lock system that lets you switch out the included carrying strap for a snap hook, giving you more flexibility on the go.
The most noticeable upgrade is in the sound. JBL has clearly tuned the drivers for a more balanced and dynamic listening experience. Highs are crisp, mids are warm, and the bass is deeper and fuller without distortion—even at higher volumes. For its size, the Flip 7 is surprisingly powerful, easily filling medium rooms or outdoor spaces with clean, punchy sound. Thanks to 360-degree sound dispersion, it performs great in group settings too. Whether you're inside or outdoors, the audio stays consistently rich and enjoyable.
Battery life has seen an improvement too. JBL claims up to 12 hours of playtime, and in real-world use, that holds true—even at moderate to high volumes. USB-C fast charging is a welcome addition, letting you top off the battery quickly. You can also play music while it charges, so there's no interruption during long sessions. I put it to the test myself—listening for hours not just to evaluate the sound, but also to see if the improved battery holds up. And it does. You can also enable a battery saver mode that slightly reduces bass output, but the difference is minimal during casual listening or background music.
Tech-wise, the Flip 7 features Bluetooth 5.3 for faster pairing and a more stable connection. Setup is a breeze—just turn it on, pair it once, and you’re set. It also supports Auracast, allowing you to wirelessly link multiple Flip 7s (or other JBL devices with Auracast) to play the same audio across larger spaces or multiple rooms. As I found out, however, Auracast isn’t backward compatible with the older PartyBoost system.
If there’s one downside on the Flip 7, it’s the lack of extras like a speakerphone or voice assistant integration—but those are hardly dealbreakers for most users. It’s not meant to replace a full home audio system or premium headphones, but for a portable speaker, it performs extremely well.
All things considered, the JBL Flip 7 is a fantastic little speaker. It’s durable, sounds great, lasts all day, and is easy to take anywhere. Whether you’re relaxing at home, heading to the beach, or packing light for a weekend getaway, it delivers exactly what you need.

Great Sound In A Small Package

kevnlittle . 29 days ago
Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This small speaker packs such a punch. I don't know why I'm surprised. I own a handful of JBL products, but the sound quality makes you think that you are listening to a much larger speaker. This single speaker fills my large backyard with the great sound quality, that I have come to expect.
Even though we have not had summer weather, I took it to the beach, and it sounded great.
I love the interchangeable clip and finger strap. I hope that they come out with a wrist strap, or a bicycle attachment, hint, hint.
The Flip 7 is definitely my new favorite Bluetooth.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with the product that was sent to me for review. I love the upgraded sound and 14 hour playtime. The music has a clear sound with crisp mids and detailed vocals and more bass than I've seen with previous versions. I like the added EQ so I can adjust my music to different genres of music that I like. Overall this is my go to audio source for listening in my home and outdoor adventures.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an older Flip 4 which works great but have been looking to upgrade.
Boy,technology sure has advanced in these few years,,,
This speaker is amazing! You can hear each individual instrument,separately!
We take this speaker when we go camping. In the tent we have a tablet playing a movie and the audio goes to the portable speaker.. That lets us put the speaker closer to our heads and not have to blast the volume(turn on PlaytimeBoost which reduces the super low rumble and lets the voices come in clearer, also allows extended battery playtime)
It would be great for vanlife camping as it is completely portable and rechargeable.
I have a newer JBL Extreme 4 speaker (just kind of a larger,louder version of the Flip7). It has the
Auracast feature which allows multiple speakers to play the same song...
I enabled it and WOWOWOW,it was like magic!
I could not tell where the sound was coming from.
The Small speaker was sitting right here,and the larger Extreme was over by the couch,
when I started playing the song to both speakers,you couldn't tell where either speaker was!
It was like the sound was coming from somewhere between the two. Just very cool.
The speaker can be controlled with JBL Portable App but you don't have to have it running to play audio.
It has a small equalizer and some other features you can enable in it.
I haven't been able to get the Auracast speakers (the new ones) to talk to the older Flip 4
with JBL Connect which is a bummer,as you know the more speakers the better!
I thought the Flip 7 would be very similar sounding to my old Flip 4 but I was mistaken,
the audio is much more “separated” and clearer sounding.
The build quality is still high quality,seems to have a smoother softer feel.
No speakerphone feature on this one,but I never used it on my old one so it didn't matter to me.
Most televisions these days have bluetooth which you can easily pair with this speaker.
Keep the speaker near you while watching tv so you don't have to blast the volume and
keep the whole house up at night!
I would recommend the Flip 7 to anyone looking for a high quality,waterproof,,small portable speaker or if you're looking
to upgrade an older speaker to the newer technology.

Big sound, convenient little speaker

glust24 . 1 month ago
Yes, I'd recommend this product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing can go anywhere and everywhere. It’s the perfect size that fits in a cup holder, or any pouch designed for a water bottle, and comes with a D-ring so you can attach it to anything. It’s even waterproof. Most importantly, the battery lasts a really long time and I can go several days between charging with daily use. So it’s great for activities on the go and events and adventures outdoors.
It sounds great with a wide and full sounding range, and is very loud for it’s size. I’m easily able to turn it up TOO loud for most settings. The bass is amazingly impressive with these side woofer drivers or diaphragms.. whatever they’re called, they create real, physical bass that you would normally only experience from larger speakers.
The Flip7 is so easy and convenient to use, I find that I end up bringing it everywhere. Even in the shower, ESPECIALLY in the shower!
