I got the flip 7 in camo over the summer. I’m 53 and I take this thing everywhere. A few weeks ago I was in the woods moving a tree stand and listening to music. Well, long story short , I fell 18 ft and shattered every bone in my left leg. Music still playing. So after 4 days In the hospital I got home and called my daughter to make sure they picked up all my stuff where I fell. Well they did and everything was in a crate in the back of my side x side under water. One thing still worked after being submerged for 4 or 5 days from rain. The flip 7 . It turned on and worked flawlessly. The dewalt impact was dead, Milwaukee impact was dead Flip7 beat out the two top names in the business. So it’s been a couple weeks now and I’m sitting on my porch , in a full leg brace listening to the flip 7.This thing is indestructible, best money I ever spent. Battle tested and approved in my eyes
Bought 2 of these last wee. It's built well, and sounds good. But the battery is horrible. Lucky to get 45 minutes of use unless plugged in. Is it possible to replace the battery?

Thank you for providing your feedback on our JBL Flip 7. Its battery life may vary depending on volume and music content and has up to 14 hours. If you need further assistance, please contact our Customer Support, so we can assist you.
The battery life doesn’t even last for 4 hours. I loved my jbl 5 but it broke so replaced it with the 7 and it was a downgrade for sure.

Thanks for your feedback on our JBL Flip 7. 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, this likely means that the battery is losing its capacity. Please contact us for further assistance.
Minden jó és erős, egy probléma van, de az tényleg zavaró, hogy túl kevés a hangerő szabályozó lépcső. A duplája lenne ideális szerintem. Vagy halk, vagy hangos, ha közelben van a hangszóró. Egy hangerő tárcsa jobb lenne szerintem.
Great little speaker. Unimaginable it does not come with its own charging cord! Never purchased a product/laptop/phone/speaker etc that did not have its own charging cord. I have multiple charging cords and non fit this speaker. Was told by their support team to walk into a retailer with the speaker to get some assistance to purchase a cord. Really? Would have given a 5 star rating except for this.

Thanks for your feedback. To minimize e-waste, we consciously choose not to include a charging cable in our packaging. You can use any standard USB-C cable to charge your JBL Flip 7, as well as a power adapter compliant with the USB-C standard. Past products already have standardized USB-C cables, which can be reused for new products.
Love it. Sounds great, EQ adjustments in the app is a big plus, battery life has been longer than expected, because it doesn’t need to operate at a high volume to sound fantastic. I’m pleased.
