I just recently purchased a 320 a Flip7 and a Xtreme4 and right off the hop the first thing i thought was there was something off about all of them! Like they just didnt sound right... the 7 sounding the most off!

TL has the worst bass response especially in the flip7, the TL on the flip 6 wasn't that bad but on the flip 7 its really peaky at 120hz.

I literally returned my JBL flip 7 because the Boom 3i was not just less expensive, but it's sound quality was in a completely different league than the Flip 7
