Our Verdict
JBL Flip 4
TREBLAB HD77
You may prefer either the TREBLAB HD77 or the JBL Flip 4, depending on your listening habits. The TREBLAB offers a wider and more open-sounding soundstage. Its battery also lasted around two hours longer in our tests, though this varies depending on your usage. However, the JBL has a better-balanced sound profile out-of-the-box and has less compression present at max volume, resulting in cleaner audio at louder volumes. It supports voice assistants through your smartphone and can pair to multiple other JBL Connect+ speakers.
