While you can’t do much with the Flip 3 and the app, you can rename the speaker, check battery status (without fumbling for the button on the speaker) and learn how to pair two Flip 3 speakers together. One of JBL’s handier features is the JBL Connect app. The speaker is able to connect to another Flip 3 for amazing stereo/party sound. Once I found a happy balance between the two, the speaker performed quite well, and I have to say, it’s the most impressive sound I’ve heard in a sub-$200 Bluetooth speaker. Like most speakers, sounds became muddied at higher volumes, but like Jason said in his JBL Xtreme Review, I found the speaker to be awesome with my phone set at 50 percent volume and the speaker doing most of the heavy lifting.

The main reason we get a speaker is the sound. The JBL Flip 3 packs amazing sound for its size. Buttons, ports, battery indicator, power connection and Bluetooth indicator all rest on the back of the speaker. Under the indicator, is a Auxiliary and Micro-USB port housed in a protective cover. Below that is a power button, Bluetooth status and connect indicator, and a five LED battery indicator. On the back is a Bluetooth, + and – volume control and a phone button. The JBL logo is square in the middle of the front of the speaker. Wrapped mostly around the speaker is a woven fabric that gives it a good grip when you go to pick it up.

It wasn’t my favorite color to begin with but it has quickly grown on me. The JBL Flip 3 speaker I received came in Teal. The folks at JBL were kind enough to let me take this tiny Bluetooth speaker for a spin, but does it fit everything I require in a speaker? Let’s find out. Needless to say, I’ve been in need of a decent Bluetooth speaker that doesn’t break the bank and I can take with me anywhere.Įnter the JBL Flip 3. The UE Boombox fits all those needs, except it’s a bit on the chunky and heavy side, so it typically sits in my kitchen. It must have decent battery life, must be able to take some water and it must be convenient enough to transport. I’m very particular when it comes to the Bluetooth speakers I use. However, I’ve come to discover that while I have all these speakers at my disposal, I don’t really use any of them, well, except for the UE Boombox in the kitchen. I have a waterproof one in the shower, a Logitech UE Boombox in the kitchen, an iLive 2.1 Bluetooth speaker set in my office and another small no-name Bluetooth speaker at work. I have a good number of Bluetooth speakers and I can now add the JBL Flip 3 to the mix.
