Best Buy is holding March Audio Fest March 2nd – April 5th. At my house we hold audio fest all year! Around my house music is everywhere; it’s in the kitchen while we are preparing dinner. It’s in the bathroom while we shower & get ready for our day. It’s in the living room while my son dances to toddler tunes & everywhere else while we clean and go about our day. We used to take a full sized boom box (for those of us who remember what that is) to the beach with us so we could listen to our music. With the addition of smart phones it became so easy for us to take our music from room to room, but the phone alone is never loud enough when were outside. Then I was given the opportunity to test out the JBL FLIP Portable Wireless Stereo Speaker. Just one of the products you can find at Best Buy & right now Audio Fest is taking place across all Best Buy stores until 4/4/14!

I was so excited when I heard that the JBL FLIP would be heading my way! This would solve all my audio problems around the house! So I unpacked & charged it up, with 3 Hours to full charge it gives you up to 5 hours of play time (Score)! The speaker is very small & lightweight, but don’t be fooled by its size this little guy packs a punch! The Bluetooth pairing is as simple as it gets, just power the speaker on, locate it in your phones Bluetooth settings, then hit play! It even comes with a protective carrying case.

This speaker rocks, the volume is incredible & I even considered replacing my home stereo all together! Give it a shot for yourself, I bet you will toss your old home stereo & set up shop with the JBL FLIP by HARMAN! As if all of this wasn’t enough to hook even the most diehard music fan, it can be use it for phone calls too! Using the built in microphone you can answer, reject or end calls, use call waiting and even switch from the FLIP to the phone all right from the speaker! My recommendations for the FLIP, if you are heading to the great outdoors or the beach leave the carry case on the speaker while you use it to keep sand & dirt out. If you are going to be out for a long day maybe consider using the auxiliary jack & cut off your phones bluetooth operation to help your battery last longer. While your out remember to stop at your local Best Buy, where they are gathering the best offers on the best audio products throughout the entire month of March!
