Questions and answers
Is the JBL Flip 7 waterproof?
Yes. It is rated IP68, so it is protected against dust and can be submerged in fresh water for a short time.
Can I pair the Flip 7 with my Flip 6?
No. The Flip 7 uses Auracast, which older JBL speakers with PartyBoost do not support. It pairs with other Auracast JBL speakers.
