About the JBL Flip 3
The music's fine, rain or shine
The music's fine, rain or shine
The rough and ready JBL Flip 3 delivers music from your smartphone or tablet — whenever and wherever. This portable Bluetooth speaker features a splash-proof fabric coating and rugged rubber housing. So you can take it out by the pool, or on a ski slope, or on an overnight camping trip. And while you can't go swimming with the Flip 3, you can rinse it off with running tap water, so it will clean up nicely after your adventures.
The Flip 3 is splash-proof, so you can even rinse it off.
Great sound indoors or out
The cylindrical Flip 3 packs a powerful sonic punch. Its two full-range drivers deliver clean, clear sound. Passive bass radiators at each end reinforce the low tones. Though compact, the Flip 3 might just surprise you with how much sound it can crank out, thanks to JBL's advanced digital signal processing.
Bluetooth that lets you share
Stream wirelessly from any smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth to the Flip 3. You can even pair it with up to three devices simultaneously so you and two friends can take turns being the DJ.
Download JBL's free control app to your Apple® or Android™ device, and you have even more options. You can use two Flip 3 speakers for two-channel stereo, making the soundfield even more spacious. Or wirelessly connect even more Flip 3 speakers, scatter them about your party area, and you've got great-sounding music no matter where you stand.
Take that call
When you receive a call on your paired phone, the Flip 3 turns into a speakerphone. Its built-in microphone uses SoundClear® technology to minimize echo and filter out ambient noise so you and your caller can hear each other easily.
Convenient portability
The speaker's built-in rechargeable battery gives you up to 10 hours of portable operation. The Flip 3 comes with its own USB charging cable. Just plug it into a computer or a spare AC/USB adapter to recharge. An auxiliary input lets you play non-Bluetooth portable devices through the system, too.

Features
Splashproof & Portable Design: The JBL Flip 3 Bluetooth speaker features a rugged rubberized housing and a durable fabric material grille which will hold up indoors and outdoors. The Flip 3 is "splashproof", which means no more worrying about rain or spills; you can even clean it with running tap water (just don't submerge it). Its compact design fits easily into a backpack and it also includes a nylon wrist-strap, so you can take it anywhere with you.
Full-Range JBL Sound: The JBL Flip 3 employs digital signal processing to generate room-filling audio from a compact speaker. Using two 1.5625" drivers, a 16-watt amplifier, and dual 1.5" passive radiators, the JBL Flip 3 delivers full-range JBL sound with punchy bass. The JBL Flip 3 stereo speaker can play from either a vertical or horizontal position, so you can place it in a variety of locations for great sound.
Bluetooth 4.1: The JBL Flip 3 features Bluetooth version 4.1 with support for Bluetooth profiles A2DP v1.3, AVRCP v1.5, HFP v1.6, and HSP v1.2. The JBL Flip 3 supports wireless audio streaming and hands-free communication, as well as multi-device pairing.
- Wireless Audio Streaming (A2DP/AVRCP): The JBL Flip 3 streams stored music and music apps wirelessly from Bluetooth-enabled devices such as your Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/tablet, Windows Phone/PC, Mac laptop/computer and more. You are able to control basic playback functions like Play/Pause & Previous/Next Track from the Flip 3 speaker. Song/artist information will still need to be viewed from your Bluetooth audio device.
- Hands-Free Communication (HFP/HSP): The JBL Flip 3 features a built-in noise & echo canceling microphone so you can use it as a hands-free speaker phone for your Apple iPhone, Android smartphone, Blackberry, and more. Use the Flip 3 to answer phone calls, talk on Skype, or with Facetime. A long press of the call-answer button will activate the voice command feature of your smartphone (if applicable). You will continue to use your Bluetooth smartphone to view video calls, manually enter phone number, and control advanced phone functions.
- Multi-Device Pairing: A single button press pairs your Bluetooth-enabled device with the Flip 3. Up to three devices can be paired with the speaker at once, so you and your friends can take turns streaming music. Once paired, the JBL Flip 3 will automatically re-connect with paired devices when in wireless range (up to 33').
JBL Connect App: Use the JBL Connect App (for Apple iOS 7+ or Android OS 4.3+) to wirelessly link two JBL Connect enabled speakers, like the JBL Flip 3, together for amplified sound. You are able to link two speakers together so each each speaker acts as a left or right channel for stereo sound. You can also link two speakers together so each speaker plays back both left and right channels for playback of the same Bluetooth source from two different speakers.
Aux Input: In addition to built-in Bluetooth, the JBL Flip 3 is fitted with a 3.5mm auxiliary input for connection of almost any portable audio player with a headphone output.
Rechargeable Battery: The JBL Flip 3 stereo speaker has a built-in Lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery (3.7V/3000mAh) that provides up to ten hours of playback time. The Flip 3 speaker includes a microUSB port and a 40" microUSB-to-USB cable to aid in charging the built-in battery. The battery can be recharged from a 3rd party USB/AC power adapter (sold separately) or a free USB port on your computer. A full battery charge takes approximately 3.5 hours.
LED Indicators: Clearly visible LED let you know when the built-in battery needs to be recharged, as well as when the JBL Flip 3 is in Bluetooth listening or pairing mode.

Amazing device. I love how you can pair multiple ones to get that surround sound. Since this is something you take outside often it's very important that is is built to withstand the weather and any small accidents.
