The verdict

The Flip 7 may look familiar, but there’s more here than meets the eye. While upgraded durability, new connection options, and extra carrying attachments aren’t exactly game-changers, the added sound customization is definitely a welcome upgrade.

✓What we like
✓IP68
✓New attachment options
✓Increased durability
✓Bluetooth 5.4
✓Audio over USB (including lossless)
✓7-band EQ
✕What could be better
✕Playtime Boost feature kills sound quality
✕No backwards compatibility with previous JBL speakers that use Party Boost
✕Less than advertised battery life
