I needed a portable speaker which could withstand the factory environment where I work (minding the robot). The speaker needed to be durable and rugged, somewhat impervious to all the particles (liquid and solid) floating around in the air, small enough to pack in my lunchbox, and LOUD enough to be heard over all the machinery. I was attracted at first by a super low price for the UE Boom that BestBuy was running on a One Day Sale, but after doing extensive online research, I decided that this speaker would be a better fit (this was also on sale at the same time, and even cheaper than the UE Boom). There are lots of great website reviews of Bluetooth speakers, but I particularly liked this one- www.oluvsgadgets.net/2015/09/review-jbl-flip-3-ue-boom-killer.html. He gives a nice balance of practical advice and geeky stuff, and also includes audio comparisons between the JBL Flip 3 and several competitors, so you can actually hear the difference in sound quality. This speaker meets all of my needs. I also own a Bose Soundlink Mini, which- at more than twice the price- has a slightly richer bass sound, but I don't think that one could survive in my factory, so it stays home. The JBL Flip 3 puts out enough sound, and sounds good doing it, for me to give it 5 stars. I play it at full volume at work (it is charging all the time to keep from draining the battery), but I also listened to it at home one weekend at a reasonable volume level for several hours. It never ran out of power, and sounded really great when I could actually enjoy the nuances of the music. Overall, I am very satisfied with this speaker and would recommend it to anyone looking for a small, rugged, attractive Bluetooth speaker that provides a balance of great sound, great battery life, and great price.

Got this speaker for my fiancé and she loves it. We played the Pentatonix Christmas cd on it and it sounds great. For a little speaker, it kicks out some sound and the bass is amazing. She loves the color. She says it "Tiffany" blue
