JBL Flip 3 review

A return to form for JBL, the Flip 3 is worthy of the product's history

Smooth, warm sound ; Impressive bass weight ; Packs a punch

Soundstage more closed-in than some competitors ; Could be more expressive

With a sonic quality worthy of the product’s history, plus better battery life and connectivity, this should be added to your shortlist.

JBL Flip 3 (Blue)

I received a black review unit, but the speaker, which weighs in at just less than a pound (15.9 ounces or 450 grams), is available in seven other colors and like its predecessors can be stood up vertically or laid out horizontally. Since one of the...

JBL Flip3

The JBL Flip3 is a splash-proof portable Bluetooth speaker with powerful audio output for its size.

Quality audio performance with rich lows and well-defined highs. Built-in speakerphone. Connects to multiple devices at once. Splash-proof

Can distort on deep bass tracks. Bass response is better at moderate volumes than high volumes

JBL's latest affordable portable Bluetooth speaker, the Flip3, packs some serious power for its modest size. At $99.95, the Flip3 is a solid option if you're looking for a splash-proof speaker that can be thrown in a tote or a carry-on. It can get...

JBL Flip 3 speaker review: A powerful well-designed Bluetooth speaker

JBL, the “aam janta” consumer arm of Harman, now owned by Samsung and is well attuned to what its users want. Flip 3 is a product that fills the gap for a mid-range Bluetooth speaker that strikes a balance between cost and good sound.

For an approximate street price of Rs 7,500, Flip 3 makes a good buy. Casual listeners looking for cheaper alternatives will need to put up with mono-sound speakers that aren’t particularly good with music. For those who really want to enjoy music,...

The JBL Flip 3 review: Big sound for a decent price

I have a good number of Bluetooth speakers and I can now add the JBL Flip 3 to the mix.

Great sound, great battery life, good speakerphone quality.

Buttons could be in a more convenient place.

The JBL Flip 3 has quickly become my go-to Bluetooth speaker. From the kitchen to the bathroom to the office, I take this speaker with me everywhere. A $99.95 price tag might give some people pause but like I said before, this speaker packs in a lot of...
