The JBL Flip 7 on rocks.

There's never been a better time to get the JBL Flip 7. Woot has it for $85 right now, down from its original $150. That's a $65 savings. We've been tracking the price of this speaker, and this is the lowest we've seen so far. However, the deal only lasts until Feb. 14 or until stock runs out, so you'll want to act fast.

Your purchase also includes a 90-day Woot limited warranty. Note that the deal is only on the color blue, and it may sell out quickly. We recommend picking one up soon if you're interested.

The Flip 7 sticks with JBL’s familiar design but adds a few practical tweaks, including the Push-Lock system that lets you easily switch between a carabiner and a carrying loop. At 1.21 pounds, it stays lightweight and compact, built to travel with you and fit snugly in a cup holder or water bottle holder on your bike. It also offers an AI sound boost, which can keep distortion in check at higher volumes. With an IP68 waterproof and dust-proof rating, it's built to handle most environments, so you can use it for game-day parties or take it to the pool when summer comes back around.

As one of CNET's go-to experts on portable speakers, David Carnoy writes in his review that the Flip 7 "has improved the speaker's digital processing with upgraded algorithms." He does add that although the distortion at maximum volume isn't completely eliminated, it "remains one of the better-sounding speakers for its size."

The JBL Flip 7 also earned a spot on our roundup of the best Bluetooth speakers for 2026. If you'd like to see how it stacks up against other top models, check out our pick of the best Bluetooth speakers.

Why this deal matters
