Hunk of garbage. The battery last about 2 or 3 hours that's it. Charges like butt cheeks as well. They claim "14hrs" they lied... If I could rate a zero best believe I would . Get an older model when they actually used to make good products or avoid entirely

Thanks for your feedback on our JBL Flip 7. We cannot guarantee that a battery will last 14 hours. The time provided is up to, and how long the battery lasts is determined by volume and source content. The published up-to-playtime is the maximum battery time you will get when listening at background levels. As you turn up the volume, the playtime will be reduced, much like a phone battery when you brighten the screen. The same goes for source material. Music with more bass will also reduce playtime. 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. Please try to charge the battery to 100% and then listen to music without any bass boost, 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, feel free to contact us directly for further assistance. https://support.jbl.com/us/en/#contact
What an amazing product. Bought for my college age granddaughter. She even liked the peace sign design I picked! Thinking of purchasing one for myself.
This is our 2nd JBL speaker - we had the 1st one a looong time & it’s been great. Time to update for longer playtime between charging. Fantastic for listening to our favorite radio station online located physically about 50 miles away. Unfortunately our electric radio’s audio connection won’t tune in adequately. The JBL speaker is excellent - every day - for fabulous music all day long!
