- JBL Grip is cylindrical but smaller (and cheaper) than the Flip 7
- Bold JBL Pro Sound with a 'punchy' 16W output
- Auracast connectivity, IP68 waterproofing, and tempting price tag
If I were looking at JBL's enviable Bluetooth speaker lineup with a critical eye, I might say that while the JBL Flip 7 is a barn-stormer of a portable speaker (and fully deserving of its place at the tippy-top of our best Bluetooth speakers guide), there's typically always been quite the gap between it and, say, the JBL Go 4 or JBL Clip 5 – and I mean that in terms of size, price, and audio quality.
