Because the Flip 3 was designed to be all-weather, it is the perfect speaker to use outside.

To make it an all-weather speaker, JBL went so far as to make the entire speaker completely splashproof. This means that it can handle rain while using it outside, manage accidental spills and can even be cleaned under running tap water. To make this little beast even more impressive, the Flip 3 can wirelessly stream up to 3 different smartphones and tablets that take turns playing beats.

As for the sound itself, the Flip 3 has an incorporated Bass Radiator that allows you to not only hear the bass but feel it as well; we all know how important bass is. It can also be connected to multiple JBL connect-enabled speakers that amplifies your sound and turns it into a completely different experience.
