JBL Flip 4 Compared to JBL Flip 3. Should you upgrade? what's the difference

2017-02-23
hey what's up cube Wellington here the flick for is here and in this video we're going to be looking at the key differences between the clips 3 and the new flip for and this it's worth it to upgrade alright so the only strip 3 the unboxing experience is going to be familiar the only differences are just the size of the box and that the accessories you get are individually packaged to this time as far as design there is not really a huge difference here I actually would have preferred to get this in the black version but they look so alike that I thought it would be easier for me and you guys to tell which is which if I got a different color because as far as design they look a lot like they're the same I mean they did some tiny design changes and the flip phone is actually a tiny bit bigger than the quick 3 and they also changed the design of the passive radiators which I kind of prefer the older ones but you know they change that alright that's enough of the exterior let's look into the interior and see what exactly they have changed with a 3/4 compared to the first 3 they update the Bluetooth version from 4.1 to 4.2 I mean we're just filming music you probably won't tell a huge difference but they did and the speaker also gave some weights from 450 grams on a flip three to five hundred and fifteen grams on the new Swift 4 which is honestly not that much the 3/4 is to rocking a 3000 milliamp battery like a flip 3 but instead of the 10 hours of playtime they claimed on the flip 3 they are claiming 12 hours on the flip for now those are great improvements by the next three are the biggest in my opinion number one of the three being with the same polynomial drivers like the flick three the three four now has the lower frequency response of 17 Hertz which is good compared to the scripts tree that only went as well as a five you can actually hear the difference in the best and let's take a listen I recorded this using a high quality binaural microphone so I advise you to use headphones as you listen to this for the best experience and we'll start with the sample the low frequency response tests to see which one performs better we can appeal thing with a trail thing when I can feel this house familial type juice reminiscing with buddy yet in the best epic new bands owned by UNESCO let's do you cream money all around me I'm a girl be defined be rich and as you could hear these quite an improvement in the loads on the speaker for more detailed test I'll be uploading a sound battle of the flip 3 and a flip for which focuses mainly on how the two speakers compare sound wise so make sure you subscribe I'll put the link to that video as soon as it goes up in a couple of days if you want to check that out for more detailed sound comparison in I'm using different songs welcome to number two of my three big changes to to the 3/4 is the ipx7 rating unless the flip 3 which is only splash proof the flicks 4 is completely waterproof which means you can submerge it into water and it will be fine now the flip 3 was the huge rival and still is a huge rival to the UE boom - but its downfall or it's losing point was that it's not waterproof like their like the UE boom - so I believe this is the answer to that from JBL I'm excited to see and anxiously waiting to see why you it does with a boom line speakers and when they come out with a new OS pretty soon but let's come back to this video lastly but not least JBL Kinect Plus this is good news and bad news here's the bad JBL Kinect plus is not backward-compatible at least as of right now what this means is that new speakers with JBL Kinect plus cannot connect with the older speakers that have JBL connect that's where you may get a say but here's the good news with the new JBL connect plus you're able apparently to connect over 100 speakers to play at the same time and that's really all connect plus enabled speakers that's insane I would honestly love to try that out but I don't think I will because I don't really have $10,000 to spend on that theory so it's they're lying I don't know never know it's not from me so those are the notable differences between the foot 3 and the new flips for now the big question is is it worth it to upgrade from the slips for you to the flips for that's a trig equation but this is what I think the improvements to the flips for from the foot we are not really that huge in my opinion and the only reason I recommend someone to upgrade if they already own a foot 3 is if the waterproofness of the flip for is something that you really need or you really like every bit that you can get out of the speaker because there's a little bit of improvement as you heard - the foot 4 in the Loews department so if that's something that you crave and want to have it if you can have it in a small speaker like this there you have it you can go ahead and upgrade and maybe also if you think you'll be using the new Kinect Plus features but it's not about means that much to you you're fine with your flip screen but for the first time buyers unless you only really really test budget I would straight out goal for the wave for because it's obviously an improvement to the flip 3 and it's also still a good price for the kind of sound quality that you get from this speaker so yeah subscribe to the channel if you haven't yet I will put a link to the sound Battle of these 2 speakers as soon as the video goes live in a couple days so it picks up check down in the description section below the link will be down there so you can check out that video for a more detailed version of sound comparison of the two speakers thanks for watching again again subscribe and I'll see you in the next video
