MUST BE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

Let me first say, this is my second JBL flip 4, the one I had prior to this was an absolute BRUTE. I’m talking tough! It had been submerged under water, dropped countless times, taken to the beach, withstanded super hot summer days for hours, getting caked with mud but alas, it got ran over by a car while off-roading one day... but guess what? It STILL WORKS. Even in its smashed up state nothing broke but the speaker cover protector. So bravo JBL, this is a great product. However I bought this one for my father for his birthday, he only used it a few times in his bedroom and now it won’t turn on at all, so I tinkered with it come to find out it was a remanufactured speaker put back together incorrect without water proof rubber gaskets for the speakers, keep in mind I payed full price for a NEW speaker! Now the return windows are closed and I’m unsure who to contact to hopefully make this right...

Bluetooth Speaker Comparison -- 2017 Edition

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

I was in need of a new portable speaker, and like many of you, I was a little overwhelmed after doing an Amazon search and finding literally tens of thousands of options to choose from. It's especially frustrating because probably the most important part of the product -- how good it sounds -- is not something you can really evaluate until after you physically have it. So I picked four speakers to compare: Cambridge Soundworks OontZ Angle 3 Plus, Anker SoundCore Sport XL, Geek Beats Jolt5, and the JBL Flip 4.

First, the Cambridge SoundWorks OontZ Angle 3 PLUS Bluetooth Speaker with 30-Hour Playtime - Richer Bass Greater Sound Quality & 10W+ Loud Volume, Water Resistant Splashproof, Portable Wireless Speaker , is a slightly larger version of the best-selling speaker on Amazon with over 17,000 reviews and a $30 price tag, and this only costs $5 more, so why not give it a shot? I chose Anker SoundCore Sport XL Outdoor Portable Bluetooth Speaker - 16W Output and 2 Subwoofers, IP67 Waterproof & Dustproof, Shockproof, 66ft Bluetooth Range, 15H Playtime, Built-in Mic, USB Charging Port , partially because I have other Anker products that I'm pretty happy with, but also because the 66-foot advertised range seemed like it could come in handy if I were working in the backyard with my phone in my pocket and the speaker sitting on the porch. I selected the GEEK BEATS JOLT5 10W X-Bass Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker and USB Power Bank - Green. IP65 Water and Dust Resistant with 5200mAh Samsung Battery. because it's the same price as the Anker, it has an average of 4.9 stars (wow!), and it can be used as a battery to charge your phone. And finally, I chose the JBL Flip 4 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker (Black) because in my search, I kept seeing the JBL Flip 3 pop up in reviews for other speakers, and this is the newest (and supposedly slightly better) version of that speaker.

Sound Comparison: Sitting in my living room and swapping around between the four options, it's clear that the Flip 4 is the most, well, clear. Considering it's also the most expensive, I kinda expected that to be the result. Surprisingly, the OontZ was a solid second place with a bit more rumble in its bass compared to the Flip 4 but at the cost of less clarity. The Anker and Jolt5 were noticeably flatter in their sound, seeming to favor the lows instead of an overall range, and this caused some distortion at higher volumes. When I took the speakers outside, it's a slightly different story. With the speakers on the patio, I walked into the yard about 25 feet and compared the sound quality again, and again I'd put the Flip 4 in the top spot. This time, however, I'd actually say the Anker was a solid number 2. At this distance, the distortion from having the volume up the whole way was not very noticeable and didn't detract from the music I was playing, and the Anker is a bit louder than the OontZ. The Jolt5 is a distant last place being not only flat but also not as loud. It's comparable to listening to the radio on a boombox from the 90s.

Bluetooth Range: With the speakers inside, all four started cutting in and out around the same spot about 30 feet away. It's around a corner, so having a wall in the way seems to even the odds here. Having an open space outside didn't seem to make a difference to the Jolt5, though, as it still broke up around 30 feet. The product page on Amazon says 33 feet, so that's pretty accurate. The OontZ fared a bit better and almost made it to the back gate about 60 feet away. The Anker is pretty spot on with its advertised 66-foot range as it went a bit further than the OontZ, even onto the other side of the gate and almost into the road. The Flip 4 was still going strong when I got to the other side of the road and couldn't go any further in a straight line, maybe 75 feet.

Other Things: Depending on what exactly you plan on using your speaker for, and just for comparison's sake, there are some differences that may be worth note:

-- All four speakers come with a mini-USB to USB charging cable but not the plug. If you've charged a cell phone in the last 10 years or so, however, you should probably already have one.
-- The Jolt5 and OontZ come with a 3.5mm cable so you can plug your phone right into it instead of using bluetooth (though all four speakers have this option, just not the cable).
-- The Anker and Jolt5 have a USB port so they can be used as a portable battery to charge your phone.
-- The Anker, Flip 4, and Jolt5 have hand straps. The OontZ does not come with one nor have a place to attach one.
-- The Anker, Flip 4, and Jolt5 have audible cues when they power on or off. The OontZ is silent. All four speakers do, however, make a noise when you successfully pair a device through bluetooth.
-- All four speakers are splash resistant, but only the Anker and Flip 4 are likely to live if they fall into the water (submersible up to 30 minutes)
-- The Anker and Jolt5 are shock resistant, so they likely won't shatter if you drop them
-- The OontZ has the longest battery life (30 hours) and the Flip 4 has the shortest (12 hours)
-- The Flip 4 can be paired with other Flip 4's (through an app) to provide a wireless multi-speaker experience. There are Bluetooth adapters that would allow you to do this with the other speakers if you wanted, as well as physically connecting them with 3.5mm cables.
-- The Flip 4 comes in a variety of colors.
-- They are all roughly the same size, just differently shaped (see pics)

Conclusion: The best bang for your buck is the OontZ Angle 3 Plus. It's a measly $35 and sounds almost as good as the $100 Flip 4, especially inside. In addition to being inexpensive, you can literally keep it blaring music for an entire day. It's not quite as loud outside as the Anker or Flip 4, but it's also half the price. If you're willing to pay for premium sound, go with the Flip 4 or even the Flip 3 if you want to save 20 bucks. Supposedly the sound is comparable, just the Flip 4 has a longer playtime. It really is noticeably clearer compared to the other options, so if you were using it with a projector to watch a movie, for example, the rumbling and distortion aren't going to drown out the dialogue, and likewise vocals on a music track don't get lost in the rest of the noise. If you're planning on a bunch of outside activities, like mountain biking or camping, the ruggedness of the Anker and ability for it to charge your phone makes it your best bet. I didn't do a drop test with any of these, but the Anker feels like a rubberized brick and would probably survive a fall. Other than battery life, there's no reason to ever choose the Jolt5 over the Anker, especially considering they are the same price. The Jolt5 is just worse in every way, and I honestly don't understand its 4.9 rating.

The Jolt5 is going back. The Flip 4 is staying. I'm still debating between the Anker and OontZ and may keep them both since the cost combined is still less than a Flip 4.

EDIT: After further testing, the Anker is going back and I'm keeping the OontZ. When plugged in with a 3.5mm cable, the sound is dramatically better with way more bass and a louder volume. And it's still somehow the cheapest one.

TL;DR:
-- On a budget? Cambridge SoundWorks OontZ Angle 3 Plus
-- Best sound? JBL Flip 4 (though I do wish it had a bit more bass)
-- Most likely to survive your abuse? Anker SoundCore Sport XL

Really good sound - surprising bass coming from this little speaker.

Edit:
7 months later, JBL flip 4 doesn't hold a charge for more than 5 hours. I did drop it just once -- maybe that has something to do with it - idk. That audio quality is still there, though.

Edit 2:
1 Year. Wont charge at all now.

JBL Flip 4 Musing - My New #1

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

Although I'm not doing speaker reviews anymore I was so impressed by the JBL Flip 4 that I had to write a little something. The Xiaomi Mi has been my go-to BT speaker. It has really great sound; especially for the size. Sadly I accidentally played some frequency test tones at high volume and my Xiaomi Mi was blown. After 3 days of only having laptop speakers I was fed up. I needed something better. Good things have been written about the JBL Flip 3, and I always wanted to give it a try. Now the 4 is out and I hear it's even better! Being desperate for quality sound I bought one.

I really wasn't planning on buying any speakers and really couldn't afford it. I'm experienced and very picky about audio. From all I've read my expectations were very high. Given all of this the odds were stacked high against the Flip 4.

Once I heard the thing I was stunned at how full and well balanced it sounds! I have a thing for small speakers that sound big and this doesn't disappoint at all. Even better is that it manages to sound big without any lame DSP tainting the sound. There is no silly bass boost and no compression; just good full sound. This is my new #1.

It sounded great when working

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2017

I bought this speaker August 4th of 2017. It sounded great when working, but a week ago it stopped taking a charge. I have tried all kinds of things, and tested all the possible USB chargers to make sure that it was not the chargers. The unit just does not charge at all, I have tried overnight charging, and 2 days worth or USB, and a different cable, but no go. My next step is to see if JBL will honor some kind of warranty. Booo!

Love JBL, Hate this (defective) speaker

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

I think I just got a defective one because most of the reviews rave over the sound quality. Mine just constantly farts (no smell) and sounds like its completely blown but I haven't even turned the volume up or listened to any heavy metal (yet)! They must have not given the sweat shop kids their daily peanuts and bread crust because this one is just brutal to listen to. I'm surprised it didn't come with a hidden note that said "help me". This is all i can guess because usually JBL does a great job. Watch my video for more info.

Super nerviges Grundrauschen selbst wenn der Speaker stumm geschaltet ist. Will man mit dem Gerät leise Musik hören übertönt das Grundrauschen manchmal sogar die Musik auf der geringsten Lautstärke. Lauter nerviger Ton bei An- und Ausschalten. Dachte er es wär ein Defekt aber das Grundrauschen Problem scheint ja bekannt zu sein. Toller Bass aber insgesamt total unausgeglichen Klangbild.

Habe außerdem von Amazon Retourware als Neuware verkauft bekommen. Die Verpackung hatte starke Schäden vom vorherigen Käufer.

Flip 4 that I have purchased from Amazon (Seller-e9accessarirs) on 1st July was fake and having no cripsy sound i.e. no high notes. I had returned & got refund immediately.Thanks Amazon. But finally I got the original product from Amazon (Seller-Appario Retail) and sound quality is exceptionally good with punchy bass and original vocal quality,moderate treble . It would have been much more better if treble response is like Sony XB20. Still I am very much satisfied with sound quality and battery backup.

MILHARES DE RECLAMAÇÕES PELO MESMO DEFEITO

Reviewed in Brazil on February 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

No final de 2017, adquiri uma caixa de som bluetooth, modelo FLIP 4, e recebi ótimas recomendações da JBL, sendo uma das empresas referência na área de fabricação deste produto.
Em doze meses de uso, tudo ocorreu muito bem, sem nenhum problema.
A surpresa veio quando o produto completou 1 ano e 1 mês de uso, ou seja, saiu da garantia da fábrica.
A caixinha de som simplesmente deixou de marcar a contagem correta da bateria, ou seja, existem 5 pontinhos de luz que te guiam sobre o tempo de carga restante, e esses pontinhos simplesmente ficaram instáveis. Se só existe 1 pontinho aceso e você liga a caixinha na tomada, todos os pontinhos voltam a acender como se a bateria já tivesse carregado.
Por mais que você deixe o aparelho carregando a noite inteira, nos primeiros 30 minutos de uso, ela simplesmente desliga.
Como o problema foi repentino, procurei casos semelhantes na internet e fiquei COMPLETAMENTE SURPRESO.
Se qualquer consumidor buscar no Google o seguinte problema "JBL FLIP 4 com bateria viciada depois de 11 meses", vai encontrar milhares de reclamação com os mesmos fatos.
Ou a JBL tem um problema técnico em todos os seus equipamentos desta linha, ou há uma "obsolescência programada", ou seja, seu equipamento vai parar de funcionar em 11/12 meses. Isso está acontecendo com milhares de consumidores que, inclusive, já registraram a reclamação aqui.
Após verificar as respostas que a empresa deu, orientado que o consumidor procurasse a assistência técnica, decidir ligar no local e verificar o procedimento que a empresa estava adotando neste caso que afetou milhares de consumidores logo após a garantia de fábrica acabar.
Para minha surpresa, fui informado que se a garantia acabou não há nada a ser feito, e mesmo se eu quiser obter uma nova bateria, que sai por mais de metade do custo de uma nova JBL, há uma fila de consumidores aguardando. Ou seja, o problema é tão grave e recorrente, que nem a assistência técnica da própria empresa tem o equipamento para repor, ainda que o consumidor decida pagar do próprio bolso.

Todos os meus amigos e parentes perguntam sobre a qualidade da JBL, e agora eu realmente tenho o que dizer.

JBL NUNCA MAIS. VERGONHA. ABUSO.

Great speaker. Switching On/Off volume still way too loud, like the previous version.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 9, 2018

Verified Purchase

Clear sound, great volume and bass for the size I take it with me a bit everywhere. Very good speaker. I had the FLiP3 but it got stolen and I bought this one finding that: the went from "splash proof" to "water proof", I mean, what are the odds to drop your speaker in a pool or in a bathtub full of water? How useful can it be? On the other hand they didn't modify the volume of the switching On/Off sound, which is stupidly loud. So loud that if you want to listen to some ambient music late at night you need to switch it on in another room. Not to mention that if you want to switch it off before falling asleep...it will wake up your partner!! Come on JBL ..that was a dumb move.
