JBL Flip 7

As for the design, the Flip 7 maintains the compact, cylindrical form factor of the Flip line, weighing in at a bag-friendly 560g. It’s a little more robust than the Flip 6 too, with an upgraded IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.

The Flip 7’s battery life is a reported 14 hours per charge (that’s two hours more than the Flip 6), and you can apparently squeeze an extra two hours out thanks to a new Playtime Boost mode that conserves power by disabling equaliser settings and reducing the bass output.

The Flip 7 is a highly versatile speaker and allow it to double as a power bank on the go, which would be really useful for outdoor music listening.
