The JBL Flip... is acylindrical speaker features two high-performance drivers, a built-in bass port and digital signal processing software to extend frequency response on the high end while providing tighter low ends for deeper bass response.

The JBL Flip includes a built-in microphone for hands-free Bluetooth calls and a 5-hour rechargeable battery.
