JBL Flip 7 vs JBL Grip

The Flip 7 is the bigger, louder speaker: a 25 W RMS woofer plus tweeter, 35 W max, and up to 16 hours with Playtime Boost. The Grip is smaller and lighter at 0.85 lb, with 16 W, 14 hours and a built-in ambient light. Both carry IP68 and Auracast pairing, so the choice comes down to output and size. Owners rate both around 4.5 stars; the Flip 7 has the larger review base and the longer track record.

• Choose the JBL Flip 7 if you want the loudest sound of the two, a stereo pair, USB-C lossless playback and the PushLock clip system for a bike or backpack.
• Choose the JBL Grip if you want a lighter, pocketable speaker with an ambient light and a grab-and-go shape for small rooms and short trips.
