JBL FLIP II : Review

The Good: The JBL Flip 2 is a highly portable Bluetooth speaker that's designed to be used horizontally or vertically. It sounds good and plays very loud for its size, has speakerphone capabilities, NFC tap-to-pair, and ships with a nice carrying case.

The Bad: At around 4 to 5 hours, battery life remains so-so.

The Bottom Line: Although its battery life remains a weak point and its price has gone up a bit, the Flip 2 is an improvement over the original Flip and one of the best mini portable Bluetooth speakers available.
