JBL Flip 4 Full Specification With Review

JBL Flip 4 Full Review

JBL Flip 4: JBL has successfully managed to tap into the speaker market. It must deal with stiff competition from Sony and Ultimate Ears, but due to the presence in mortar electronics shop and every brick in India, the business has managed to hold its ground. Bluetooth speakers’ JBL Flip and Charge series are popular, and now the company is adding a brand new version.

This Bluetooth speaker provides waterproofing, so it may be submerged in water. There is also a new shortcut which enables you to get Google or Siri Assitant using a single button press. JBL has priced the Flip 4 at Rs. 9,999, and it competes with the Ultimate Ears Boom 2 along with Sony’s SRS-XB30. Let us see how it great it really is.

JBL Flip 4 layout and attributes

The Flip 4 is available in a number of colors and carries forward the exact design as its predecessors. It is easy to grip with one hand and is not too heavy weighing in at 515g. Nearly the whole body is covered except for a silicone strip that runs across the length of the speaker along with the edges. The Flip 4 is designed to be utilized in a flat position since there are radiators on either end.

There are buttons for controlling music playback and Bluetooth pairing. They have a great clicky but they aren’t illuminated. Since the silicone strip lumps giving the nice foundation for your speaker the Flip 4 doesn’t roll around.

In the rear, the Flip 4 has five LED dots to show you the battery level, a backlit power switch, and a backlit Link + button, which lets you link more than 100 4 components. Alongside them is a rubberized flap to protect the Micro-USB port and a 3.5mm auxiliary connector. The twist 4 has a loop with a lanyard so it is possible to hang the speaker on something should you do not have a suitable coating for it to stand on.

The JBL Flip 4 is quite similar to the outgoing model when it comes to specifications. The Bluetooth version was upped to 4.2 but it still has two 40mm full-range drivers which provide a whole power output of 16W. You obtain a 3000mAh battery, which is fantastic for 12 hours of continuous playback, and you can answer calls. There aren’t any extra frills such as aptX or NFC HD support here. In the box, you receive some documentation along with a matching Micro-USB cable. The update that is large here is the inclusion of certification, which makes water for up to thirty minutes’ Flip 4 submersible up to 1m.

JBL Flip 4 functionality and battery life

The Flip 4 can handle two active Bluetooth connections at the exact same time, which useful when you’re having a party and want to discuss DJing duties. The speaker feels fairly rugged and looks as though it may take a tumble or two without repainting, even though it does not meet any standards for ruggedness. The diffused LED lights on the speaker are bright in the dark, but we want the controllers lit. As great as the build quality may be, the Flip 4 does have one design defect in our books, and that’s the vulnerable passive radiators on both sides. From an aesthetic perspective, it looks cool to see them when playing music, but that also makes them vulnerable to damage on your bag from objects like pens and keys. A cover of a kind would have been fine.

JBL Flip 4

The Flip 4 is easy to set up. You get cues for when it is paired with a gadget and when it’s powered on or off. The JBL Connect program for iOS and Android enables you to sync with Flip 4s in ‘party mode’ to fill up an area that is large or use two units in a stereo configuration. The app also shows you that the battery level of the speaker and lets its title changes. Besides this, you may use the program to change the Play button performance to either play/ pause the current track or phone up the helper (Siri or even Google Assistant) in your device. You save a few seconds, although you can activate your phone’s helper with a long-press of the button anyway. It’s a thoughtful inclusion for people who actually use voice supporters through a Bluetooth speaker, but in doing this, you eliminate the capacity to pause music which is we do not believe is worth the tradeoff. Is that there’s no way to go to the previous track a tap of the Play button to skip to the next path.

 

Audio performance is impressive considering the magnitude of the speaker. The advantage of the layout of this Flip 4 is that bass that is great isn’t dependent on any surface to reflect sound off. The bass is punchy and may be sensed even at moderate volume levels (approximately 50 percent). In tracks such as Long Road To Forgiveness from Brett Dennen and Jason Mraz, vocals are delivered using the bass. The sub-bass can’t be felt by you as much in bass-heavy tracks like The Weeknd’s Starboy, and the bass begins the sounding level. It will not find boomy, and so long as you adhere to some 70-80 percent quantity level, you should be useful. Giggs well demonstrates using the track Lock Doh this.

The spin JBL Flip 4 actually shines in vocal-heavy paths, but the mid-range is showcased which is evident from Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean. Without shaving, piercing highs are reproduced nicely. The soundstage is great as you’d get from a Bluetooth speaker, but it does have the identical effect. The Flip 4 was analyzed by us largely but also streamed films and music. Responsibilities can be pulled off by it when needed but we found that we had to be near the speaker for the caller to hear us correctly, or we would need to shout.

Waterproofing appears to function. We tried dunking the twist 4 and it continued functioning fine. Bluetooth range is pretty good also, and we didn’t face any major sync issues if 15-20 feet in the apparatus. We did not believe there was a lot of an audible noise difference when switching to a wired connection.

Naturally, this amount is achieved in ideal conditions, although JBL speeds the battery life at 12 hours. During actual use, we performed music for five consecutive hours (largely at 60 percent volume) and took a few calls in between, and was able to knock off just two of those five battery dots. We were down to one dot, which attracted us close to the rated battery life. When it’s really low, the dot flashes red. When you press on some of those buttons the dots only illuminate. The speaker charges fairly quickly in the event you use a 10W (5V, 2A) power adapter. We could charge it to 100 percent in 1 hour and 40 minutes.

JBL Flip 4

Verdict

The Flip 4 is a powerful performer given its small size and is another option in the sub-Rs. 10,000 segment. As the mid-century isn’t different enough its sound is not perfect, and vocals can be overpowering. It does deliver bass, as long as you maintain the volume level under 90 percent. Battery life is fine, and we love the speaker’s compact and rugged design. We’re not pleased with the beams, which we believe could be damaged.

The UE Boom two has dropped in price since it launched and can be found for a little over Rs. 10,000 online. Compared to this UE Boom 2, the Flip 4 provides more controls and a much more streamlined layout, which makes it a fantastic alternative.
