JBL Flip 4

I agree - it is loud on startup, so we just muffle it (pillow, seat cushion, jacket etc) before turning it on. This is the Only minor complaint, otherwise we LOVE the darlin!

It is absurdly loud and sophomoric, interfering with what I am doing with this speaker. Please, JBL, give us a firmware update that fixes this flaw.

Pretty absurd that it comes with a USB and no AC adapter

this is really a drag, no 3 plus 4. that should be made clear in the advertising!

Hi all, I have the same problem. I have used OP-1 as well but any audio source prodces the same proble. Approx 5 seconds after audio drops below a certain level (TBD) the turns off the speaker drivers and requires another singal more than threshold (xxmV TBD) for approx seconds or so to enable the output. This means you cannot use this speaker to play any music, live or recorded, that has quiet portions. The "no signal" timeout setting should be made much much larger than 5 seconds and possibly reduce the level (as we all do not play hyper compressed music through these speakers). Approx 1minute timeout would be more sensible. One assumes this is a software issue. Can you update the firmware to change this timeout?

I got these information from various YouTube reviews and here's a summary of them: Bass wise, The Flip 4's bass is impressive, it packs a punch but it's not as deep as the Charge 3's. Battery wise. The 6000mah of the Charge 3 is needed for it's big drivers, and to charge your gadgets. In a word, it gives the same battery life span as of the Flip 4, since the Flip 4 has smaller drivers, a 3000mah battery is all that it needs (It will still depend on volume level and music). Loudness wise, the Flip 4 is loud due to the emphasis of treble, but bass levels stay the same. Whereas the Charge 3 is best in max volume, the treble and bass are further emphasized. But in moderate volumes, like 50-75%, the Flip 4 sounds better since the Charge 3 sounds a bit muffled in these volume levels. If you only listen to electronica, heavy bass songs and so on, the Charge 3 is a better choice, but if you are more into Pop, Rock, EDM and so on, the Flip 4 is a better choice. Portability wise, the Charge 3 is a bit of a hassle to bring due to it's size, but unlike the Flip 4, it is much easier to put in your bag due to the small size. Both can be grasped easily by hand. Protection wise, both are IPX7 certified, but take note that the Flip 4 doesn't float unlike the Charge 3 (in my opinion is kinda weird...) so don't drop the Flip 4 in lakes, rivers, the ocean and so on or it'll be difficult to retrieve it. But for me, the Flip 4 is my choice. But it depends on your preferences. Hope this helps!

No, the Flip 3 carrying case is too small. At the moment, no carrying case is available for Flip 4. We suggest that you check out manufacturers that specialize in this kind of accessory.
