• Bold JBL Pro Sound with AI Sound Boost. We've beefed up our bass and tweaked our tweeter. The outcome? Powerful, clearer bass even at max volume and crisp higher frequencies thanks to a clever new tweeter dome design, adding more depth to your speaker's sound. We also added our new proprietary tech, AI Sound Boost, which analyzes your music in real-time to deliver maximum acoustic performance with less distortion. It's like our own little audio genie in every Flip 7. So, now we can give you better all-around sound without the added pounds. Same size, bigger punch.
• Up to 16 hours of playtime. Keep the mood alive for 14 hours on a single charge - and when we really need to squeeze some extra juice out of our jubilee, or another dance with our darling, we can get an extra 2 hours with Playtime Boost.
• Multi-speaker connection by Auracast™. Wouldn't it be great to share the vibes with our tribe? Now we can. With Auracast™, we can effortlessly stereo pair two Flip 7 speakers for a wider sound stage and connect multiple Auracast™ enabled JBL speakers to cover more ground with the same playlist.
• Waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof. Have you ever dropped your speaker, had it roll down a dusty hill and land in a lake? No? Well, believe it or not, it happens. So, we built the JBL Flip 7 to be as life-proof as they come. On top of our legendary waterproof and dust-proof design (an industry-leading IP68, BTW), we've also made sure that if you drop it from 1-meter onto your concrete floor, it'll keep kicking. But please, don't go throwing your speaker around just to flex on your friends. Throw parties instead. *Based on lab test conditions for submersion in up to 1.5 meters of freshwater for up to 30 minutes.
• PushLock system with interchangeable accessories. Clip it. Loop it. Palm it. Now we can carry our sound our way with the new Pushlock interchangeable accessory system. All that power at the push of a button - Wrist strap and carabiner included in the box.
• Lossless Audio Playback. When music goes lossless it gets that much better. For the real audio aficionados, we've made lossless audio possible by plugging it into your laptop or other audio device via our USB-C port. But, of course, in order for it to work, you need a compatible lossless audio source (Requires compatible lossless audio content from supported apps/ services).

• Bold JBL Pro Sound: The JBL Grip may be small enough to hold in one hand, but it packs bold JBL Pro Sound. With AI Sound Boost, it analyzes music in real time, using an algorithm to optimize output for bigger sound with less distortion.
• Up to 14 hours of playtime: Keep the mood going for 12 hours on a single charge—plus an extra 2 hours with Playtime Boost when the vibes are too good to stop.
• Ambient light: The speaker’s back panel features an integrated ambient light with unique themes and color options, so you can set the mood to match your mix. Use the JBL Portable app to fine-tune the brightness and lock in your preferred look.
• Waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof: We designed the JBL Grip to handle the bumps and bruises of everyday fun. Along with its waterproof and dustproof IP68 rating, it's also drop-proof—built to keep playing even after a 1-meter drop onto concrete.
• Multi-speaker connection with Auracast™: Want to share the vibes with the crew? With Auracast™, we can easily stereo pair two Grip speakers for a wider soundstage or connect multiple JBL Auracast™-enabled speakers to fill the space with the same playlist.
• JBL Portable app: Customize the Grip’s sound with a 7-band EQ, light color options, and intensity, and get updates and support directly from the JBL Portable app. That way, we can always match the sound and vibe to our mood, wherever we are.
