Why we picked it
Ah, the JBL Flip 7-our trusty sidekick for the modern age, stepping in when your main sound system can't quite handle your outdoor soirée, weekend picnic, or that oddly specific mood where you simply must dance in the living room. It's not the hero of audio systems, but let's be honest, it's the reliable, slightly cheeky mate that makes the adventure infinitely more enjoyable.
The beauty of picking the Flip 7 lies in how it complements other home audio systems or fills in the gaps at those awkward moments-like when you're camping and need tunes but don't want to lug around an entire sound system.
So why's it a Supporting pick, you ask? Think of it as your go-to backup plan. While your main speaker might do the heavy lifting indoors, the Flip 7 swoops in like a well-timed punchline-perfect for the great outdoors or spontaneous dance parties in your kitchen.
The Irresistible
- Impressive sound quality that belies its size-perfect for park hangs.
- IP68 waterproof and drop-proof-perfect for a clumsy clutz like me on those soggy picnics.
- Portable design that fits snugly into bags-because who needs more weight on the commute?
The Clever Part
- Solid battery life with up to 16 hours-because we all know you're staying out longer than expected.
- Dustproof? Check. This thing can handle a festival like a champ-mudslides included.
- AI Sound Boost? I'm still not sure how it works, but the music sounds fab, so I'm not complaining.
The Fine Print
- The bass is decent but not mind-blowing-you won't be the centre of attention at raves, sorry!
- Charging takes a while-perfect for creating unnecessary delays in your life.
- No built-in microphone-do you want this for a conference call? Forget it!
The Reality Check
- It's great as a secondary device, but it won't replace your main hi-fi system anytime soon.
- For a speaker this portable, be prepared to keep track of it-it's surprisingly easy to lose track amongst the chaos of life!
