Among the most notable new features of this seventh version of the JBL Flip, the strong presence of recycled materials, 77% of the plastic and 100% of the fabric, not to mention its FSC-certified wrapping paper printed with soy ink. A remarkable sustainable orientation.

Another development is the possibility of changing accessories through the PushLock attachment system, the strap-type carrying handle giving way to a carabiner to secure the JBL FLip 7 to a bike, for example, during a hike. Its character is further reinforced by the IP68 certification (compared to IP67 on the Flip 6) and the presence of the [abc]Bluetooth[/abc] 5.4 [abc]Auracast[/abc] protocol which ensures superior listening quality, improved autonomy and unprecedented use to connect several suitable speakers, or to broadcast the same sound source on several speakers. It is even possible to enjoy lossless audio files by connecting a computer or an audio player via the [abc]USB[/abc]-C port. Bluetooth Auracast also allows a very simple multiroom configuration to implement.

The 4,800 mAh battery allows you to enjoy music for around 14 hours. Last details, the JBL Flip 7 can be controlled via the buttons on its casing or via the JBL Portable application.
