**A Review of the JBL Flip 4: A Waterproof Speaker with a Twist**

The JBL Flip 4 is a waterproof speaker that has left me with mixed feelings about its overall performance. On one hand, it's a great speaker that sounds nice and clear, especially when compared to other speakers in its class. But on the other hand, there are some significant drawbacks that might make it less appealing to some buyers.

One of the standout features of the JBL Flip 4 is its water resistance. According to Wikipedia, it's 100% water resistant, which means you can drop it in the pool without worrying about it getting damaged. However, this also means that it doesn't float, so if you're planning to use it at a public pool or beach party, you might want to consider additional flotation devices.

I had the opportunity to put the JBL Flip 4 through a series of tests, including submerging it in water and testing its speakerphone functionality. When I dropped it into the water, I was surprised by how well it held up. Although it sank to the bottom of the bowl, it still sounded great underwater. In fact, I was impressed by how well the sound quality remained intact even when submerged.

However, there's one major drawback to using the JBL Flip 4: its inability to pair with older speakers in the JBL ecosystem. If you're already invested in the JBL brand and have other speakers that can connect to your music player or streaming device, this might be a deal-breaker for you. But if you're looking for a waterproof speaker that's specifically designed to work on its own, then the JBL Flip 4 is definitely worth considering.

In terms of sound quality, the JBL Flip 4 is a great speaker that's perfect for small gatherings or one-on-one conversations. It's not going to blow anyone away with its bass, but it gets the job done. The sound is clear and crisp, making it easy to hear every detail in your music.

**Testing the Speakerphone Functionality**

To test the JBL Flip 4's speakerphone functionality, I used my phone to make a quick call to someone who could answer with some questions. When I hit the "answer" button on my phone, I was able to connect with the person on the other end without any issues. The sound quality was good, but not perfect – there were a few times when it sounded like my voice was getting muffled or distorted.

Overall, the JBL Flip 4 is a solid speaker that sounds great for its size and price. However, its inability to pair with older speakers in the JBL ecosystem might be a major drawback for some buyers. If you're looking for a waterproof speaker that's specifically designed to work on its own, then this could be a great option for you.

**The Verdict: A Solid Speaker with Some Drawbacks**

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say the JBL Flip 4 is definitely worth considering. The sound quality is great, and it's perfect for small gatherings or one-on-one conversations. However, its inability to pair with older speakers in the JBL ecosystem might be a major drawback for some buyers.

If you're looking for a waterproof speaker that sounds great and is easy to use, then the JBL Flip 4 is definitely worth checking out. But if you're already invested in the JBL brand or have other speakers that can connect to your music player or streaming device, this might not be the best option for you.

**Conclusion**

Overall, I'm impressed with the JBL Flip 4's performance and sound quality. It's a great speaker that's perfect for small gatherings or one-on-one conversations. However, its inability to pair with older speakers in the JBL ecosystem is a major drawback. If you're looking for a waterproof speaker that sounds great and is easy to use, then this could be a great option for you.

**Special Shoutouts**

I'd like to give special shoutouts to my Facebook fans, Twitter followers, Google+ gangsters, and Instagram enthusiasts who are rocking with me every day. I'd also like to thank all the haters and trolls out there – I see you, and I know that's why I'm still doing what I do best: making great content for you guys.

And finally, I'd like to announce that I'll be launching a new stream on Sundays, where we'll be rocking out to some of my favorite tunes. Make sure to tune in and join the party!
