Great sound but the battery doesn't last more than 10 minutes on it.

Sound is good Battery life nos so good I might end up returning it

My brother had the JBL Flip Essential 2 Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker on his Christmas list this year and he is getting what he wanted! He needed a new speaker for when he plays golf or is fishing. I purchased during Black Friday and it was $40 off. Couldn't beat the price and Sam's Club makes shopping so easy. It was delivered the next day! I like that this speaker is compact, waterproof, and that the battery life is long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ready outta the box and pairing the device very simple. Volume level is good and handles a boost quite well however a bit more bass please. Paracord is handy when I carry it along with work chores or relaxing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The flip essential 2 is not essential. I was hoping to see some type of improvement on this item, being it looked like a newer different model of the Flip 5. It was not. Mostly, all the functionality and performance were the same. The one thing that was worse is the battery life. On the box, it states 10 hours of performance but at what performance level. I had the essential 2 connected via Bluetooth and at 75% volume for around 3 hours, and it died. Talk about a party foul. Fortunately, I had a power outlet close by. Not an experience I would want again nor product I would take with me to an long event. After all that, I will say that the performance of this speaker is awesome. Great sound and Bluetooth range for a minimumal amount of time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Big sound in a little package. I couldn't believe how full this tiny speaker sounds. I used it in my 30X40 garage and it filled the place with sound. Crisp highs tight mid's and good bass to be so small. This is an improvement from the other flip essential. Also this thing is water proof it will be great to take to the beach or have around the pool. We were out at the pool bar the other night and were listening to it and a shower of rain came, we left it out and it kept playing and sounded amazing. The battery life is suppose to be 10 hours and I know I have listened to it longer than that and it is still on its first charge. Highly recommend this little speaker for the portability the great sound quality and the fact it is water proof. Quality JBL product great value for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Flip 3 Essential is awesome! This device is full sound in a compact mobile speaker. The Bass is amazing and does not drown out the Highs and Mids and it all sounds fantastic throughout the range of volume. This unit has sounds that you would expect out of a speaker twice this size. The battery life is very good as well, lasting up to 9 to 10 hours at various volume levels. The design is impressive as well, the exterior of the speaker feels very nice to handle when on the go, and it has a nice weight to it. The portable feels like a higher priced item with its materials and construction. The USB-C Charging is also great, so I don’t need numerous amount of different cables while on the go. Overall, it’s a great portable speaker for on the go. Whether at the office, in the yard, by the pool or working at an outdoor job site, the Flip 3 Essential will not disappoint!
