JBL Flip 7: A rugged speaker with customisable sound and improved features

JBL has ditched the old PartyBoost system and replaced it with an Auracast button, bringing the Flip 7 in line with JBL’s latest lineup.

JBL Flip 7 is a small but durable speaker with an IP68 dust and waterproof rating. Picture: JBL.

At first glance, you’d be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the Flip 7 and its predecessor, the Flip 6. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find some subtle improvements in durability, connectivity, and audio customisation.
