Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice Sound The JBL Flip Essential 2 is a really good Bluetooth speaker. I like that it's not that big and still has a great rich sound. The sound is clear and pleasant to listen to. Operation is easy and self-explanatory, simple. I like the size. It fits in a normal handbag or in the drinks pocket on the side of a backpack. It doesn't bother me that the speaker can't be used as a power battery. The usage time is sufficient for my day in the office and then cooking at home. I do not need more. I can really recommend the JBL Flip Essential 2.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not that sound that I expected from JBL I was really looking forward to the sound box. Unfortunately, I am very disappointed. The tube looks very high-quality, which is also noticeable in the weight. The bass membranes that can be felt on the left and right indicate rich bass and the length and weight also suggest top sound. Unfortunately, this is not the case, the sound is very pale and the bass is almost non-existent. I don't know why the bass is so flat and clacking, but there is a clear reason for the sound itself, because only one small speaker is installed. It has to be said that the sound is better than that of a mobile phone and the tube is indestructible, neither water nor dust can harm us. The tube also absorbs shocks very well

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Small incredibly loud The JBL Flip Essential 2 is built to last. Every detail has quality. The sound is phenomenal. You don't expect this little speaker to be so loud. Sound comes back in detail and in crystal clear quality. I can recommend the speaker.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great clean sound Just bought a selection of JBL portable speakers to compare them, and the Flip Essential 2 easily has the best price to performance ratio. It has a balanced sound, and doesn't distort itself by thumping too hard trying to produce sub-bass.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great speaker I’ve bought this speaker a year or so ago and still work perfectly. I’ve had no problem connecting with any device and for this type of speaker great sound.
