Buying call

Buy the Flip 7 if you want a tough, great-sounding portable speaker: reviewers praised its punchy, detailed sound, excellent build quality, IP68 water and dust resistance, improved durability, new attachment options, Auracast for multi-speaker grouping and lossless audio over USB-C. Skip it if you own older JBL speakers, because it can't pair with them. Sound turns harsh at high volume, there's no speakerphone, and battery life fell short of the claim in one test.
