Unboxing: JBL's Latest Flip 7 and Charge 6 Offer Unmatched Audio Experience

Hypebeast3 days ago

JBLhas revamped its signature Flip 7 and Charge 6 portable speakers line with new and improved features.
The new generation of speakers not only arrives in a range of bold colorways but also features innovative AI Sound Boost technology that analyzes music in real-time, optimized to deliver crisp audio quality without distortion for an elevated listening experience.
Staying true to its portability legacy, the Flip 7's redesigned accessory system opens up new ways to carry the speaker. Inspired by the outdoors, it features two accessories: a finger loop and a carabiner that snaps into place to take the music wherever you are. However, it's the Flip 7's newly upgraded, powerful bass that's a highlight of this iteration of the series. As well as using the latest Bluetooth® 5.4 for improved connectivity, it also handles multi-speaker connection with Auracast™ and boasts up to 16 hours of music on Playtime Boost mode from a single charge. Externally, it features an IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating, as well as a drop-proof design from up to 1m, which provides added peace of mind.
While the Charge 6 offers many of the Flip 7's features, this revamped speaker is now also equipped with a detachable strap that can be configured in a variety of ways — such as over the wrist or speaker-wide — inspired by the silhouette of a purse and designed for on-the-go activities making for the perfect wearable accessory. As well as the aforementioned AI Sound Boost technology and upgraded woofer providing deeper, undistorted bass no matter the volume, the introduction of Auracast™ brings multiple speakers together. With a monumental 28 hours of battery usage in Playtime Boost mode, it's also drop-proof and boasts IP68-certified waterproof and dustproof qualities.
Both speakers arrive in seven color combinations: 'Black,' 'Blue,' 'White,' 'Red,' 'Camo,' 'Pink,' and 'Purple.'
The JBLFlip 7andCharge 6retail for $149.95 USD and $199.95 USD, respectively, and are both available to purchase from the brand's website now.

Analyst Says He's Buying Lockheed Martin (LMT) Amid a ‘Lot of Demand'

Jim Lebenthal from CNBC Investment Committee explained during a recent program why he owns Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:LMT): 'I think that unfortunately the world is a dangerous place and not getting any safer and I think there's going to be demand particularly with the change in stance from the US versus Europe. There's going to be a lot of demand from Europe for defense products. They're not going to be able to supply them all internally, so companies like Lockheed Martin, the rest of the US defense sector, I think are going to benefit over the next several years.' Photo by Joel Rivera-Camacho on Unsplash Conventum – Alluvium Global Fund stated the following regarding Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT) in its Q4 2024 investor letter: 'Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE:LMT), the defence contractor, fell 16.3%. Trump's new mate, Elon Musk, may have something to do with this. According to media reports, he has been 'mocking' Lockheed's F-35 fighter jets, which is the mainstay weapon of air defence for the US and its allies. His comments led to questions as to whether the military still needs manned jets, given the increasing capabilities of drones. This was further fuelled by news that Musk's SpaceX is likely to be part of a consortium to provide a new generation of defence contractors, and grab a slice of the USD 850b defence budget at the expense of the three incumbents. Whilst not disregarding this news, we do sense that the share price fall may be an over-reaction. It now trades at a smaller premium to our conservative valuation, and at 2.6% of the Fund, we will be monitoring with a view to increasing our position.' While we acknowledge the potential of LMT as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
