I bought this about 3 months ago and it has a great sound output. Especially the bass and stereo but on the downside the battery life isn't as advertised. On a full charge the Flip 6 cannot play music more than 5 hours.

Thanks for your feedback. The published battery life is up to 12 hours, but actual playtime depends on volume and source content. At background listening levels, you’ll get the maximum battery time, but as you increase volume or boost bass, playtime decreases—just like a phone battery drains faster with a brighter screen. Music with more bass also shortens battery life. It is possible that the battery is working correctly but depletes more quickly when the volume is very loud and/or the bass has been boosted. Try to charge the battery to 100% and then listen to music without any bass boosted, and at a very low volume. If the battery lasts close to the published up-to playtime, the battery is working fine. However, if you get less than 90% of the published spec, this likely means that the battery is losing its capacity. For further assistance, please contact us.
I bought my JBL Flip 6 three to four weeks ago and it arrive on time for my camping trip. I really love that I was able to customize it, it looks so beautiful! The sound is great, and the battery lasts a long time, I didn't have to charge it for the three days we were at the lake. I recommend this to everyone!

I have been telling everyone a JBL customized speaker is the perfect gift!
