Jbl flip 4 wireless speaker review năm 2024
|
The JBL Flip 4 offers significant improvements over the Flip 3, including better sound and battery life, as well as full waterproofing. It has speakerphone capabilities and a more durable fabric covering. Show The BadIts bass is improved but it still lacks some real bass punch. The Bottom LineA nice upgrade over its predecessor, the Flip 4 is one of the best speakers in its size and price class. Like the Flip 3, the Flip 4 can be stood up vertically or laid down horizontally thus its Flip moniker and comes with a removable lanyard that allows you to hang the speaker from a shower head, a branch outside or a loop on your backpack. Available in six colors, it costs $100 or £120. Official Australia availability isn't yet known, but that US price converts to about AU$140.

Sarah Tew/CNET So, how much better is the Flip 4 and how does it stack up against the wireless mini Bluetooth speaker competition at this price point? The short answer to the first question is that it's actually a significant upgrade over the Flip 3. Not only does it play a little louder, but it sounds better, with improved bass response and slightly better clarity. I compared this speaker to Ultimate Ears' similarly priced Wonderboom and the more expensive UE Boom 2. The Wonderboom is shorter and squatter and delivers more bass; it comes off as a bigger speaker than the Flip 4. However, with some tracks the Flip 4 sounded more natural, particularly in the midrange, and I preferred its sound when listening to certain songs. Enlarge Image The JBL Flip 4 is available in 6 color options. David Carnoy/CNET One of the problems of reviewing the performance of these small Bluetooth speakers is that their sound quality isn't consistent. With some tracks they sound quite good, and with others they sound like a small speaker that's getting pushed a little too hard and straining itself. Overall the Wonderboom does come out on top for sound quality, but it's a close race, and for its size and price, the Flip 4 is a very good performer and has such extras as a built-in microphone, so it works as a speakerphone (the Wonderboom has no speakerphone or auxiliary input). While it doesn't play quite as loud or have as good battery life as the UE Boom 2 (which is almost the exact same size and shape), it's a good alternative to that speaker if you're looking to save a little money. And hopefully, in time, this speaker will come down in price, making it an even better value. It's easily the best Flip yet.

Read more Reviews with imagesGOOD QUALITY, GOOD PRICE, PORTABLE I loved this JBL Flip 4 speaker, the sound quality is pretty amazing. I did a lot of research before buying this model because I wanted to be sure to have the best one with a good price and I made the right choice. This model is even better than Flip 5, because it is a dual driver speaker, so the sound is clear and it reaches more than the newest version (wich has only one driver, I really don't know why).

Images in this review 5 people found this helpful Report Reviewed in Australia on 8 June 2020 Verified Purchase Small and compact yet powerful sound. It has been a week since I bought this, and the battery life is really good. Sound volume is fairly good for a big room and for small indoor house party. However, in some songs with a bit bass, the speaker has some cracking sound. Reviewed in Australia on 2 July 2021 Verified Purchase This model has now been superseded but the positive side of that is the price drop. I bought this as a second to STEREO pair with another of the same model I'd had for two years. For low level background music it's ideal. Reviewed in Australia on 2 July 2020 Verified Purchase The sound is ok at about 65% of volume, or it will be distorted. The build is good and with the discount I’ve got, there nothing to complain. Reviewed in Australia on 24 January 2021 Verified Purchase Brilliant speaker. The size is just right and the sound that comes from this thing is incredible. The battery seems to last for days. Very easy to pair with my iPhone or Mac. Reviewed in Australia on 12 December 2020 Verified Purchase Great little speaker, and perfect for listening to spoken word or movies, as there’s a lot of mid range clarity, plus it’s not to bassy like the larger jbl speakers like the Charge 4 or Boombox which are awesome for music, but not so great for movies. Top reviews from other countries5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente Reviewed in Brazil on 29 November 2023 Verified Purchase Entrega rápida e produto excelente, original. 5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of volume! Reviewed in Canada on 27 November 2023 Verified Purchase This little speaker surprised me with the amount of volume it can produce with no distortion. It has solid bottom end with lots of detail in the highs. A single charge lasts surprisingly long and even when it gets to the end of its charge it still keeps going for quite a while. It synced easily with my iPhone and did so each and every time I turned it on. It’s also solidly built and can take some abuse without sustaining any damage. Overall it’s good value for the money. Daniel Fernández Gutiérrez 5.0 out of 5 stars Practico Reviewed in Mexico on 29 January 2024 Verified Purchase Lo compré porque es de los pocos que aún tiene entrada auxiliar, cuando quise probarla note que en algunas canciones cuando el sonido es muy bajo ya no lo reproduce (comúnmente sucede en música clasica) pero tuve la oportunidad de probar otro y sucedía lo mismo, la verdad no me preocupa tanto porque cuenta con bluetooth y ese si reproduce todo de todas las canciones, la batería dura bastante y tiene buen sonido Is Flip 4 a good speaker?The Flip 4 has full waterproofing and is still a solid deal in 2021. If you're looking for a speaker that's less than $100 to bring to the beach or pool, the Flip 4 is a great option. Is the JBL Flip 4 loud enough?The sound is crisp, clear and loud with no distortion. The bass is also good and goes down to around 70hz which is impressive for a speaker this size. In fact, it has the same frequency response as the JBL Xtreme. Is the JBL Flip 4 or 5 better?The JBL Flip 4 is a more versatile speaker than the JBL Flip 5 overall, though they're very similar and have different strengths. The Flip 4 can play stereo content without downmixing it to mono and supports voice assistants through your smartphone, thanks to a built-in microphone. How old is JBL Flip 4?Product information. |
