I am in love with the Flip 3. It's cheaper than many of its competitors and has fantastic sound quality, especially at high volume. Everybody is astonished at how awesome the high volume sound quality is. I work in construction and use it at work almost every day. The splash proof and dust proof design is particularly useful as well! I read an earlier review about the hissing/crackling noise and I can relate. It was fine for the first few weeks I owned it, but after a lot of high volume activity on it, it started hissing/crackling on low volume. It's a little bit of an inconvenience but I still give it a solid 5 stars!

When I charged this device it’s not able to get charge with the given cable. After charging with other cable it’s getting charge and after that the device is not functioning.

The JBL Flip 3 has no fear of water. Advertised as "splashproof", our JBL Flip 3 endured six days exposed to Mother Nature's whims--weathering +80 F heat and thunderstorms. And as though this abuse never happened, the small speaker continues to deliver HIGH QUALITY sound with an unparalleled passion.
