I recently purchased http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GAJ2OK4 and I must say that I am more than pleased. The product is sturdy (I did drop it once on a carpeted floor and nothing happend :)) and can be easily carried around. Past few weekends I was renting zip-cars for weekends and FLIP 2 was all I needed to have a better sound system than the default ones the car had. The reviews at amazon.com summarize everything you need to know about this product, after all that is how I decided to buy this.
This post is about pairing Flip 2 and Mac Yosemite. I was using Mavericks earlier and pairing up Flip was as easy as toggling a button on the Mac-Menu bar. I upgraded to Yosemite and whoosh the icon disappeared. But a quick spotlight search for "Bluetooth" shows Bluetooth File Exchange app.
How to Connect:
- Bluetooth File Exchange -> Pick a random file and hit send
- It will ask for device to send
- Turn on FLIP 2 and make it discoverable via bluetooth (toggle the bluetooth button on FLIP 2)
- Choose JBL Flip 2 in the list of devices
- Now the Flip 2 is paired with yosemite. You can cancel the file send now, as all you needed was to pair up your FLIP 2 and Yosemite
- Now open Audio MIDI setup client.
- JBL Flip 2 will show up with 2 output channels. Select that.
- Right click and select "Use this device for sound output"
Now you are all set. Enjoy the mobility offered by FLIP 2 by streaming music from your Yosemite mac.
Range of FLIP 2 is also good for an apartment. I have used it from 10 metres across even in my apartment and it seems to work uninterrupted.
PS: This is my first post for 2015. Hope to keep myself busy writing at least one post every week from now on. Fingers crossed! :)
