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.

✓Liked: IP68, New attachment options, Increased durability, Bluetooth 5.4

✕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

Owners

How we verify owners

Nobody who owns the JBL Flip 7 has written in yet.

Owner reviews are not paid for, not solicited from specific owners, and not rewritten by us: at most we proofread typos, which is shown on the review’s own page and which the author can undo. The commission SoundGuys may earn on this page comes from retail links, never from owner reviews.
