About JBL Flip 7 – Portable Waterproof and Drop-Proof Speaker, Bold Pro Sound with AI Sound Boost, 16Hrs of Playtime, and PushLock System with Interchangeable Accessories (Blue)
- Bold JBL Pro Sound with AI Sound Boost: We’ve beefed up our bass and tweaked our tweeter. The outcome? Powerful, clearer bass even at max volume and crisp higher frequencies thanks to a clever new tweeter dome design, adding more depth to your speaker’s sound. We also added our new proprietary tech, AI Sound Boost, which anylzes your music in realtime to deliver maximum acoustic performance with less distortion. It’s like our own little audio genie in every Flip 7. So, now we can give you better all-around sound without the added pounds. Same size, bigger punch.
- Up to 16 hours of playtime: Keep the mood alive for 14 hours on a single charge – and when we really need to squeeze some extra juice out of our jubilee, or another dance with our darling, we can get an extra 2 hours with Playtime Boost.
- Multi-speaker connection by Auracast: Wouldn’t it be great to share the vibes with our tribe? Now we can. With Auracast, we can effortlessly stereo pair two Flip 7 speakers for a wider sound stage and connect multiple Auracast-enabled JBL speakers to cover more ground with the same playlist.
- Waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof: Have you ever dropped your speaker, had it roll down a dusty hill and land in a lake? No? Well, believe it or not, it happens. So, we built the JBL Flip 7 to be as life-proof as they come. On top of our legendary waterproof and dust-proof design (an industry-leading IP68, BTW), we’ve also made sure that if you drop it from 1-meter onto your concrete floor, it’ll keep kicking. But please, don’t go throwing your speaker around just to flex on your friends. Throw parties instead.
- PushLock system with interchangeable accessories: Clip it. Loop it. Palm it. Now we can carry our sound our way with the new Pushlock interchangeable accessory system. All that power at the push of a button – loop and carabiner included in the box.
- Lossless Audio Playback: When music goes lossless it gets that much better. For the real audio aficionados, we’ve made lossless audio possible by plugging into your laptop or other audio device via our USB-C port. But, of course, in order for it to work, you need a compatible lossless audio source(Requires compatible lossless audio content from supported apps/services)
- JBL Portable app: It’s an app. We’ve all used them, and they can come in real handy. The JBL Portables app gives you access to support, updates, and customizable audio controls – so you can get just the right sound to suit your mood at any moment.
- Recycled plastic and fabric, plus FSC certified paper packaging: The JBL Flip 7 incorporates 77% post-consumer recycled plastic and 100% recycled fabric for the speaker grille. It’s also packaged in FSC-certified paper printed with soy ink.
- Why is there no USB-C charging cable included with my product? To minimize e-waste, we consciously choose not to include a charging cable in our packaging. However, you can use any standard USB-C cable to charge your JBL product.

I had a jbl flip 5 for 4.5 years and the only reason I upgraded to the flip 7 is bc someone stole my flip 5 lol. The flip 7 has great sound, deep bass and little to no distortion and I love that I can customize the EQ settings when the speaker is synched to the JBL app on my phone. Battery life is pretty much the same as the flip5. That classic and durable fabric outer layer is pink and yellow thread woven together and creates a color shift. Cute!
I also really like that I can switch out the loop for the clip.

SIN DUDAS ES LA ORIGINAL, el sonido, los bajos, la calidad de los materiales incluso en la caja y los acesorios, todo es de la mejor calidad. Valió completamente la pena
Carrie –
I would give it a million stars if I could!!! I absolutely blown away at the performance from this speaker! It’s so small amd lightweight but the sounds is absolutely phenomenal! At its loudest its still incredibly crisp amd clean and I truly can’t believe just how loud it gets for being so small. You have to option to pair with more speakers which is an added bonus. And the little clips for carrying are great. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

So for context, I bought this to replace an aging Bose Soundlink Micro that had been in daily use for probably 6 or 7 years at this point. Still working, but battery life was noticeably degraded, the strap broke years ago, and it had developed an annoying hiss/static noise at lower volumes. I’m sure I got thousands of hours of listening out of it, so hard to be disappointed there.
Build quality is quite good. Feels solid and can stand up to being tossed around as portable speakers tend to. The “burrito” form factor makes it easy to stick in a water bottle slot or cup holder and easily fits in a bag. The interchangeable (replaceable) loop/carabiner is a nice touch, given the elastic strap on the Bose was molded in/non replaceable and broke after a year or two. Lots of colors to choose from, though I got the ordinary black (I suspect the white/tans would start to look grubby fairly soon if you use them outdoors).
Sound quality is quite good, surprisingly rich and bassy at lower to mid volumes. You can tell at about 70% volume it starts pulling bass to avoid distortion, but if you routinely are needing to use it at full volume, probably a good idea to move up to a larger speaker, like the Charge or Xtreme. The Flip is good for personal to small group listening, although indoors, it can fill a moderate size room assuming you just want some “background music” and not DJing a party.
JBL has some secret sauce when it comes to having the sound be surprisingly non-directional. The actual drivers are behind the logo on the front, yet unlike a lot of other speakers, you don’t need to have it pointed directly at you to sound good.
The bluetooth works exactly as expected, with typical BT range- about 30-40ft. Nothing to note there. It does support the newer Auracast protocol, which in theory should make it compatible to pair up with other brand speakers that are Auracast enabled as it’s a BT standard, not a proprietary pairing mode, although suspect that probably won’t be the case, too early to know since JBL seems to be the only company integrating it to their speakers, everyone else is still using proprietary modes exclusive to that brand’s products. The buttons work also as expected and are quite intuitive. The play/pause button also has the now mostly standard double-tap to skip forward, or triple tap to skip back so you can control it without your phone. The volume control also syncs to your phone, which also thankfully is becoming standard.
Couple little issues though that to me keep it from being perfect.
-As virtually every review of a JBL speaker mentions, the battery life claim is not realistic, and evidently assumes playing it at a quite low volume (like it’s on a desk or bedside table at 10-20% volume for personal listening in a quiet room). 6 hours of 20% playing used 40% of the battery, so that lines up with the 14 hour claim. But used outdoors, it’s going to be at least at 40-50% and the battery life rapidly diminishes if you crank it up. At full blast, just 1 hour wiped out half the battery. For high volume/outdoors use, you probably want to go up to the Charge.
-Unlike the 7 year old Bose (and most other modern BT devices), this does not broadcast it’s battery level over the standard BT protocol, so you can’t quickly check battery off your phone’s BT banner or tab- you have to open the JBL app. It does have a little battery “gauge” on the back that turns on if you press any button that gives you a vague “full, med, low” sort of bar. Little nitpick, but why they omitted that is odd.
-It also charges relatively slow Despite being USB-C, it doesn’t seem to support any rapid charging protocol. The manual says 5v/3a, but my measurement peaked at 10 watts, so it only seems to draw about 2 amps. It also claims to recharge in 2.5 hours, for me that was closer to 4. (that was using a PD-enabled 65w charger, so not a charger limitation). For a 2025 release product, that’s not great.
-The power/BT buttons are backlit. The play/pause and fwd/rev buttons (that you interact with more often) are not. Odd design choice. More odd….the tiny LEDs of the battery indicator turn off after a few seconds, presumably to save battery. The button backlights are on all the time, and are really quite bright. In a dark room, they can serve as a dim flashlight to find your way around, so are also annoyingly bright for bedside listening. You can “flip” the speaker upside down so it’s “sitting” on the power button to hide the light, but think it’d be easy enough to have an option in the app to turn that off. Nope. That possibly could be added in a future firmware, but at present, they’re always on.
-No speakerphone. Not a deal breaker, but for the premium price they’re asking, would think that’d be included. Being I use it on my desk while working, the Bose was occasionally convenient to just take a call if one came in (and sounded excellent on both ends).
The app works well enough but is largely inessential. Install it once to update the firmware, play around with the EQ if you want, but after that you can realistically delete it unless you plan to use the multi-point pairing on a regular basis (which can be done via the speaker also).
TL;DR
+Sound quality
+Build quality/ruggedness
+Portability
+Sound has a good 360* effect.
– Mediocre battery life
– Slow charging
– MSRP is getting steep, I’d wait for a sale or consider a prior generation.

Love love love this!! Sound is awesome. Perfect size for all your needs. Travels well. Love the blue color!! Would definitely recommend.
Leslie from GA –
This speaker has a great sound, holds charge for a long time, and is so easy to take with you. Included clip to hang the speaker in a safe spot while using or storing. The speaker is sturdy and well made, but small enough to take anywhere. This was priced right – I purchased it on a sale date and was happy with the quality of the item!
Ryan Whitehouse –
Parfait la qualité de son et de basses au top !!!
Bob –
Amazing sound quality for its size. Battery life is excellent. Paired with my phone and the sound filled the room with deep bass and crisp pitch.
Excellent portable speaker which can be carried along for all my overseas travels.
Shawn C –
This was a birthday gift for my daughter who loves purple and music! She loved this so much I may now want to get one and try it out. The sound quality is top tier and it’s durable, lightweight and easy to travel with.
Steve –
I love this speaker. Even at full volume it sounds amazing with no distortion. It feel nicely built and the battery life is enough to get me through my work day. Bluetooth connected easily and hasn’t given me an issue. The buttons function well as does the whole speaker. I like the clip on attachment though after a small tumble in the car the seat belt style clip pushed into itself and I can no longer use it.
