Great Durable Speaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker is small yet powerful! It's super easy to carry around or toss in a bag, but once you turn it on, it gets plenty loud. The volume gets much louder than you'd expect for the size, and the sound quality stays great even when you turn it up. I've brought mine to the beach multiple times, and the durability is super convenient. I can just toss it in the beach bag and not worry about it getting sandy, thrown around, or even wet. It's one of those speakers that you can actually take with you without having to worry about being too careful with it. The battery life has been more than adequate for me as well, and it's super easy to connect and start playing. Overall, it's a great little speaker that's easy to bring pretty much anywhere and sounds much bigger than it actually is!

The Ultimate Everyday Speaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Flip Essential is the most versatile speaker I have ever seen. I brought it on my recent trip where I listened to soft music on the patio with my morning coffee, but then later in the day blasting at the pool not having to worry about the water getting to it. I then took it home where I was moving around the house and it's just the perfect size that it fits right in my pocket. Now to the actual speaker, it can blast music still while remaining clear and crisp with a nice bassy thump, it is a breeze to setup no need for messy apps, just unbox, pair, and party!

Compact and loud

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really good and loud sound, you can use the jbl app to tweak the sound to your liking. It doesn't come with brick or cable probably to reduce packaging but who doesn't have a usb c cable lying around now and days. When i poured water on it the sound muffled a little but came right back as soon as the water rolled off the body of it. I like it alot and compact compared to the jbl charge models.
