JBL Flip Essential Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Rechargeable Battery, Gun Metal Black

Product Information

However, the price difference between the Essential and the Flip 5 is not big enough to make the Essential a good deal. Being a portable speaker, the JBL Flip Essential is a small speaker that measures only 2.5 x 2.5 x 6.7 inches. Its weight on the other hand is 1.04 pounds, as it is again a reason why this speaker is a portable one.

Unlike Flip 5, the Flip Essential houses only play/pause, volume up, volume down, Bluetooth and power on/off buttons on the grille as well as the power button on the other side. JBL Flip Essential is one of the newest releases. It was brought into the market not long ago on January 9, 2021. The durable rugged design is a real survivor and very suitable for outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and beach as well. Maybe, JBL Flip, Essential doesn’t offer any color options besides gray, instead, it offers great sound quality and price tag. Product Dimensions Bring your speakers anywhere. Pool party? Perfect.

JBL Flip Essential 2 speaker can be erected. The frame of the speaker is equipped with a power button, battery indicator light, waterproof cover (USB-C charging port) and sling. The vocals are relatively full, and at normal volume, there is no excessive hiss in the high-frequency – the overall distortion is small and rich in details. The soundstage of JBL Flip Essential 2 is very wide. After I played music in indoor area of 20 square meters, at a normal volume, the sound from the speaker filled the entire room, and the presencing was excellent. In terms of outdoor volume, Essential 2 also has relatively good performance. The 20W output power can fully meet indoor and outdoor (park, camping) listening use. The only regret is that the speaker will have a certain sound quality attenuation at higher volumes. As with any kind of products in the market, our Bluetooth speakers are also significantly improving over time and including features that were beyond our imagination just ten years ago.
