The Battery Based on the Bluetooth connection, this speaker can be connected or paired with any type of device that uses the same connectivity. By the way, you shouldn’t worry at all about the connectivity part since it works with any interruption.

The device supports the Bluetooth 4.1 protocol allowing for around 30 meters of connectivity range. In line with this, the Flip 5 is the most expensive among the three and you can get the Flip 4 and the Essential for around the same price.The frequency response is better in Flip 5 and you can hear frequencies a little bit higher or lower. It depends on the size of the environment and the standing distance between you and the speaker. Model The soundstage of JBL Flip Essential 2 is very wide. After I played music in indoor area of 20 square meters, at a normal volume, the sound from the speaker filled the entire room, and the presencing was excellent. The Flip doesn't quite manage to throw the sound outside of its physical dimensions in quite the same was as the Anker Soundcore 3 does, but the balance of frequencies it produces was richer and more finessed than the speaker's tiny dimensions might suggest. The charging port still utilizes the older micro-USB standard instead of the USB Type-C found on Flip 5 and has an hour longer charging time of 3.5 hours instead of 2.5 on Flip 5. There are the new Flip 5 and the Essential on the market, however, in many stores even the older model the Flip 4 is available.

I would like to mention firstly one thing! JBL speakers, in general, are definitely the greatest ones that somebody can find and JBL Flip Essential is one of the greatest portable speakers overall. The JBL Flip 5 is the better Bluetooth speaker between these two. The sound quality of this product, including its bass and treble response, makes it superior to other speakers in both price range and technical specs. Conclusion

The battery capacity is another difference. It seems like again the JBL Flip 5 has more power with 4800 mah while the Flip Essential has 3000 mah. Battery

The Flip Essential copies the design of Flip 3 and 4, featuring dual 40mm speakers of the Flip 4 and the round shape on the edges and older Bluetooth standard of Flip 3. Based on the battery type, the battery life promised by JBL Flip Essential is ten hours once it is fully charged. Another thing that should be mentioned here is that the battery of JBL Flip Essential takes 3.5 hours to be fully charged on battery life. Is JBL Flip Essential Worth It? – Price Range Being a portable speaker, the JBL Flip Essential is a small speaker that measures only 2.5 x 2.5 x 6.7 inches. Its weight on the other hand is 1.04 pounds, as it is again a reason why this speaker is a portable one. In terms of size, the Flip 5 is the largest one, while the Flip 4 is slightly smaller and the Essential is the smallest device.

The JBL Flip 6 balances size and sound in this updated version of the popular Bluetooth speaker

It has the same IPX7 water protection found in Flip 5, which we will talk about more in detail below. Recharge time goes from dead to full charge in 2.5 hours, which is respectable. A USB-C charging cable is provided but you'll need a wall charger. JBL Flip 6 review: Verdict The JBL Flip Essential is a convenient speaker that comes with an included wire loop. That ensures the user can carry their speakers easily, and they will not be disappointed by it over time. Furthermore, most of this device is covered in durable cloth, which does not deteriorate, ensuring you get your money’s worth from this quality product.

As you have been able to read above, I tried to mention some of the most important things that this amazing speaker owns. Also, it is worth mentioning again that it has many features and all of them make this speaker amazing while in use. Besides the speaker, only a micro-USB cable is included in the box, however, this is also the case with the other Flip models. The Design The Flip 5 offers a lot more features than the Essential and is priced slightly a little bit more. You might want to buy it as an investment for your future needs! The app can be used to modify the speaker's name and update the firmware as well as to monitor the charge level. Connectivity, Bluetooth range The sound profile in both models as you may already know is bass concentrated. Both have a booming and punchy bass production.The price difference between the original Flip 5, with all of its neat additional features, and this “Essential” model isn’t worth losing out on those added extras. Think about what you’ll need in terms of functionality down the line before deciding which one would be best suited for you right now. What Buyers Say About JBL Flip Essential?
