It depends on the size of the environment and the standing distance between you and the speaker. Model It stands nicely vertical on a table but I like that it fits in your hand and grab it, if your going from room to room. It will even fit in the cup holder of your car. I have the Bose Color Link which is more money, shorter battery life and clunky to carry so the JBL design is more to my liking. JBL has several models and builds and they all have a similar sound quality of above average. I recommend this over the Bose. Hope this helps. I mentioned above that it is made of very strong material and that’s basically related to the durability of this speaker. JBL Flip Essential is very durable, and it can be used wherever and whenever you want, both indoors and outdoors. A specialty that this speaker brings is without doubt the waterproofness feature.
