JBL's portable Flip audio system: speakers for the soul!

JBL is one of the leaders in the global speaker market. Speakers from this manufacturer have been for many years delight fans of high-quality sound. The JBL Flip wireless portable speaker is one of the most prominent representatives of its model range. There are two speakers hidden in the case of this small box, which, despite their small size, are capable of producing sound of very, very decent quality – even deep bass does not scare them.

Package contents

Included with the device are: a charger with an American-European plug adapter, a neoprene transport case with a protective coating inside and the speaker itself, packed in a plastic case.

Ergonomics

The case of the portable audio system is made of plastic. A metal mesh covers the speakers. There are three rubber feet on the bottom of the case, which give the device additional stability, allowing you to install the column on almost any surface.

You can even take the speakers into the car – JBL will not let you down. The control buttons are located on the side panel of the device. There are four of them in total: the standard plus/minus volume control, the power button and the call button. The shape of each button is unique, in addition, they are all equipped with backlight. This means that it will be easy to control the audio system in any environment. The quality of execution is the hallmark of the JBL company. The columns are assembled just perfectly - all the details are tightly fitted, there are no backlashes, gaps or cracks anywhere. There are two working connectors on the back of the device: one for charging, and the second for audio output. The presence of an audio output makes it possible to connect additional active acoustics.

Design

JBL has made the speakers not only stylish, but also tenacious. The design of the case is calculated to the smallest detail. The designers deliberately avoided straight lines and sharp corners. The body itself is made in the shape of a tube. Thanks to this creative approach, the Flip portable audio system is conveniently portable and is not afraid of scratches or chips from overuse. Columns of this shape can easily fit into any bag or even into a pocket – believe me, nothing will rub or rest against.

Functionality

Flip can work autonomously for up to five hours and produce music of such quality that inexperienced fans may even confuse JBL car speakers with portable ones. The right side of the case is blind here. In more expensive models, a round bass speaker is located on it. But despite such a circumcision of possibilities, our little hero is seriously bass. JBL speakers are also endowed with another non-standard function. As mentioned earlier, the Flip portable system is equipped with a call button. The fact is that, among other things, a microphone is built into the speakers, so they can not only delight you with high-quality music, but also act as a wireless bluetooth headset: the sound will come from the same speakers that are used to play music.
