[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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great speaker to bring to work! I work in a kitchen, and multiple coworkers have complimented the speaker's sound quality. I am also impressed! One of the first things I noticed is how strong the bass response is in low to mid volume! I can really enjoy the music without being obnoxious to my coworkers. The sound is so clear, its like personal concert wherever I want! I plan on taking this backpacking in the near future, and I'm sure it will perform wonderfully! The battery life is pretty nice. I can go multiple workdays without charging it. The simplicity of the packaging and instructions is nice. It was very easy to understand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With the exception of the gym, I bring this speaker with me everywhere. I even tethered it to my motorcycle bars with a bungee chord and it performs well under 40mph. For its size it has a wonderful frequency range, punchy bass and a long lasting battery. Highly recommend if you're looking for a go-to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker is the best! The battery can last for hours, charges super fast, connects instantly with other speakers, and the audio is so crisp and loud! Again, JBL nailed it! AND its the perfect traveling size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Flip Essential 3 SE is a portable waterproof/dustproof Bluetooth speaker. Out of the box, it was charged to 50% capacity, and it took about an hour to charge to full capacity with USB-C. It supposedly has up to 12 hours of battery life. It comes in a gray signature fabric finish. This device is truly the mouse that roars. While small in stature, it measures 7” long and 3 inches high. Surprisingly, it offers a pleasurable, crystal-clear 2-way listening experience. It can also be connected to a second unit for a true stereo experience. It is durable; I have spent a lot of time on my deck/patio and garden without any issues handling the elements: rain, wind, or heat! The one drawback is that it lacks voice assistant integration, and no charging cable was provided. Overall, it's a great speaker. I'm impressed with the audio quality. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Flip Essential 3 SE has honestly impressed me from the moment I turned it on. It uses a two-way speaker system with a racetrack shaped subwoofer, a separate tweeter, and dual passive radiators, and you can hear the difference immediately. The clarity is excellent, and the bass has real depth. I kept turning it up just to see how far it could go and it stayed clean and powerful without losing detail. It even outperforms a couple of my larger speakers which completely surprised me. The battery of life is another strong point. JBL rates it for up to 12 hours and that feels accurate. I used it throughout the day while cooking, relaxing outside and even during a workout. It kept going without any stress about charging. When it does need a charge, the process is simple and quick enough that it never feels inconvenient. The bill quality makes it feel like something you can trust. It has an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, so I never worry about taking it outside. I brought it near the pool and even sit it down in the grass and it handled everything without a problem. And materials feel sturdy, and the size makes it easy to toss in a bag or carry in one hand. It is one of those speakers that fits into everyday life without you having to think about it. The Flip Essential 3 SE also support supports Auracast, which lets you connect multiple compatible JBL speakers. This is great if you want a wider sound or if you want to fill a larger space. It also works with JBL Portable app, which gives you access to updates and let you adjust certain settings to match your listening style. Personally, I love the equalizer settings. Overall, this speaker delivers a blend of power portability, and durability that feels genuinely impressive! The sound is rich and full. The bass is strong and the battery life is dependable. It is perfect for someone who wants a compact speaker that performs far above its size. If you're considering the JBL Flip Essential 3 SE, I can say it with confidence that it is absolutely worth it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So much sound in such a small package! Absolutely the best sounding small speaker available today. Fantastic reproduction, incredibly small footprint, and water resistant! Battery life is true to JBL Expectations, rated at 12 hours but I haven't been able to kill it yet. This is easily my favorite new portable speaker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have owned and still own great products from JBL that we use almost everyday. With each generation JBL continues to innovate rather than be complacent and this lil gem is proof. The Bluetooth connection is quick and reliable with NO drop outs. Controls are intuitive and easy to use. But what made my ears dance was the sound that this speaker provided. Was it the separate sub and tweeter? Most likely and no matter what type of music I threw at this it came through without breaking a sweat at any volume. But wait, great sound is the tip of the iceberg. IP67 Waterproof and dust proof . 12 hours playtime on a 3 hour charge. We be jamming. But the hookup to other JBL speakers was the bees knees How cool is that if your friends bought thier JBLs over and everyone jam from one source.. Like I said JBL innovates. Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a JBL fan and this new Flip 3SE does not disappoint! My primary focus is sound quality. Design comes second but is also very important. JBL delivered on both fronts. I tested this speaker with multiple genres to get a feel for the capability of highs and lows. Audio is crisp and clear but also has that JBL deep rumble bass even at low volume. I tried out the speaker using an airplane cabin sound and it accurately mimics the sound of an airplane cabin. I slept like a dream. With regard to design, there are a few key features that I appreciate. It is slim enough to easily fit in the bottle holder sleeve in my Laptop backpack. It also has a lanyard that can be clipped onto my backpack for safe transport. Last, I like how the color of the speaker is a nice navy blue. In certain light, it looks black, but I've included a picture to show the difference between a pitch black and the color of the speaker. Really sharp! In all, this small speaker delivers upon the design and quality expectations I've always had for JBL and again, they never disappoint!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! JBL just keeps knocking it out of the park! This new Flip 3 SE Bluetooth speaker checks all the boxes. The control panel is easy to use and responsive. The battery provides hour after hour of playback and charges quickly. Compared to other Bluetooth speakers this size, this Flip 3 SE dominates with great Sound quality especially with its enhanced Bass response! I love the warmth of vocals and instrumental music sounds detailed and never muddy. The sound quality and volume defies its small size and has blown away my expectations. It's also safe around water so you don't have to stress about that. It's so easy to take anywhere with you! Cute little package that just pours out beautiful music!
