The personalization was a perfect surprise for my husband. This speaker is not what I was expecting from JBL at all. The max battery life in this speaker is 2hours max. Even though it says 12-14 hours that is certainly not the case. Basically a cool looking paperweight at this point. Do better JBL.
Not worth the price

It has really great sound, good bass. Only downside is the battery life. But, I can understand with using the volume loud it would have a tendency of dying a little bit quicker. Overall, I really like the color, and size and sound. Would purchase again!
Bought this a few months ago and is super cute but doesn't work at all. Doesn't charge or turn on, so I'm a bit confused since I own other JBL speakers that work perfectly fine. Not sure what's going on...

I purchased the personalized speaker. The picture & wording came out very nice. The sound is loud enough. Not too heavy not too light. But the battery life is terrible...I get about 1.5 hours of usage.

I bought this as a surprise gift for my husband who lost his last JBL speaker. He absolutely loved it and the camo color! He charged it right away and has been using it since. As always JBL never disappoints!
Birthday request for my 19-year-old grandson. He loves it. Even though he knew I was getting it for him, he was thrilled with it. The sound around our pool was amazing. I was worried the neighbors would complain about it.
honestly feel completely ripped off with this purchase. The battery barely lasts 6–8 hours, and I paid extra for the custom color, which has already started peeling off after only two days and is now showing white underneath.
This is extremely disappointing. If I had known that the customized color would start coming off this quickly, I absolutely would not have paid extra for it. The whole point of paying for customization is to get something that actually lasts, not something that starts looking damaged after two days.
As for the battery, I’m not even sure if this is normal battery life or if my speaker is defective. I don’t play it at an especially high volume, so I really don’t understand how the battery can drain this quickly.
For what I paid, I genuinely expected much better quality. At this point, I feel very disappointed and honestly misled by the purchase.

We appreciate your feedback on our JBL Flip 7. It has a published playtime of up to 16 hours which 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 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. With regards to the customized color, please contact our customer support for further assistance. https://support.jbl.com/
