I bought the JBL Flip 7 in Sapporo, Japan right after its release—it wasn’t even available in the Philippines yet at that time. I’ve used several portable speakers before, but this one really impressed me.
For something this compact, the sound quality is excellent. The bass is deep and clean, and even at high volume, there’s no distortion at all. The clarity and punch of the sound are on a different level, especially with the help of its AI Boost feature, which makes everything sound fuller and more balanced.
Even on Bluetooth connection, the sound quality doesn’t drop—it stays crisp and consistent. And if you're after the best possible audio, you can go wired via USB-C, which supports lossless audio—a feature you don’t usually get in speakers of this size.
I haven’t tested it yet, but it’s also Auracast-ready, so that’s another plus for those planning to connect multiple devices or expand the experience.
For its size and price, this is hands down the best speaker in its range. No regrets—I can honestly say this was my best purchase in Japan this April.
