We went to London to try the announced “best-seller” of JBL

More robust, integrating a touch of AI and benefiting from prolonged autonomy, the new portable speakers JBL Flip 7 and load 6 arrive on the French market in early April. Here are our first impressions of the first, Flip 7, which we were able to try.

© Karyl Ait Kaci Ali For Capital – The JBL Flip 7 save saved Receiving pregnant alerts It is the return of the bestsellers from the famous Samsung subsidiary specialist in sound. JBL renews (finally) its offer on the market for portable speakers with the official presentation of Flip 7 and loads 6 on March 13, 2025. According to one of its representatives, the brand sold no less than 20 million flip 6 in Europe, only last year (while this model dates from 2021). This means the popularity of the device. As for the load 5, it remains today at the top of our ranking of the best portable speakers. Department during an event in London, in which Capital was able to participate, the two new versions change little aesthetically but make their acoustic architecture evolve and gain a little AI, increased autonomy and improved robustness. We were able to try Flip 7, the opportunity for us to give you our first impressions. Son doped at AI and Modern Connectivity Flip 7 and load 6 adopt a new acoustic architecture. The Flip 7 tweeter was reworked to improve the clarity of the treble, while the load 6 takes advantage of a woofer supposed to improve the restitution of the bass, a complex challenge on small speakers for above all physical reasons. © Karyl Ait Kaci Ali for Capital-the load 6 JBL communicates on a “high resolution audio without loss USB-C”, but if the digital signal is Certainly transmitted to high resolution, the speaker speakers do not have the capacity to use such a flow, at least according to the specifications of the Hi-Res standard. FLIP 7 is indeed equipped with a 25 W WOOFER (RMS) and a 10 W tweeter producing a 60-Hz frequency response to 20 kHz (the hi-res requires rising to 40 kHz). An argument above all marketing therefore, but this is a false problem in our opinion, the interest of high audio resolution being itself subject to debate (we would really like to meet humans who hear sounds at 40 kHz …). Regarding load 6, we have not yet had the details of the speakers. The two speakers are compatible Bluetooth 5.4, the audio and support Auracast, allowing in particular the simultaneous connection to several speakers (including those of other brands if they support the protocol). Perfectly modern connectivity. The other novelty is the integration of “AI Sound Boost” technology, already available on certain high-end models such as the JBL XTREME 4. This functionality analyzes the song diffused in real time in order to predict the movement of the membranes of the speakers, which allows the device to optimize the sound to reduce the distortion that we hear (especially with small speakers like these) when we push the volume a little too much. Kaci Ali for Capital-Flip 7 on the right, and the previous versions on the left the manufacturer also explained during its British event that the system acted on equalization (balance between frequencies) as well as sound compression (reduction of dynamics, that is to say the difference between the weakest and strongest notes). Authorizing too prominent frequencies or avoiding volume peaks is an interesting approach indeed to avoid distortion. However, at excess, this method can also make the pieces flat, dull, lacking in life. The brand must also avoid generating pumping (volume which drops brutally). But our first hearing contact went very well with the Flip 7. What strikes first, it is the amount of bass that it is able to produce with regard to its size. However, the rendering is a little unbalanced but it is possible to calm them with the application. The audio quality seemed very good for a small portable speaker, with a beautiful clarity of the voices which indicates that the prominence of the bass does not mask high frequencies. The treble is indeed rather well restored, and the maximum volume very high for the format of the product. On the other hand, we could not really estimate (during our brief test in any case) the contribution of the AI. We even noticed a fairly audible distortion at high volume, but it must be said that Flip 7 does not hesitate to climb to a fairly disproportionate acoustic pressure level compared to its size. And unfortunately there is no miracle solution against this phenomenon. But we will tell you more about it when we have finished our full test. Increased waterproofing and modular attachmentjbl also replaces the IP67 certification of previous generations by the IP68 standard, guaranteeing an immersion under 1.5 meters of water for thirty minutes. Users will be able to use these speakers near the water, hiking in the rain or at the beach without fear of splashes. If they can be fully submerged without risking the breakage, note, however, that you will not be able to leave the Flip 7 floating on the surface of the water, it will flow (we have tried). © Karyl ait kaci Ali for capital – the JBL Flip 7 completely submerged in the water we note a slight increase in size: the two speakers keep their usual format, but are slightly longer. Flip 7 also takes 10 g on the scale (560 g against 550 for Flip 6) but they are obviously imperceptible. To facilitate transportation, JBL now offers Flip 7 a system called “Pushlock”, allowing you to fix, as a choice, a strap or a carabiner. The two are provided automatically with the enclosure. A more appreciable. As for load 6, it has a detachable strap, useful for users wishing to hang their speaker with a bag or transport it easily. © Karyl Ait Kaci Ali for capital – Flip 7 controls, allowing to manage the volume, put the music in play/break or go to the next song/Return to the previous one. There is also an Auracast button for ease of use. Finally, JBL improves autonomy, especially with a new function called “Playtime Boost”. This extends the operating time by reducing the bass to save the battery. The brand communicates on an autonomy going from 12 hours for FLIP 6 to 16 hours for FLIP 7 (volume to 50%), and from 24 to 28 hours for the load 6.Prix and availability that the flip 7 has already been available for a few weeks in China, it will land in France, accompanied by load 6, on April 1. The brand adds a few euros to the bill for these new generations: FLIP 7 will be sold at 149.99 euros (against 140 for FLIP 6 at launch) and the load 6 to 199.99 euros (against 180 for load 5). Several colors will be offered: black, blue, white, red, camouflage and purple. The first deliveries will occur shortly after the opening of pre -orders in early April.
