Poor JBL App

Make sure you check out the JBL Connect App before purchasing this speaker. The JBL App does very little. The Ultimate Ears and Bose Apps are much better. Their Apps have very useful and important speaker control functions. You can turn their speakers on/off, adjust the volume and even set your EQ preferences from their Apps. In other words, their Apps essentially lets your phone or pad become a remote control. The JBL App does none of this.
Think about how you will use these speaker. If you only use it for audio from your phone or pad, the shortcomings of the JBL App are no problem. But if you will use the speaker for other devices such as a TV, the JBL App shortcomings become a major hassle. Unless the speaker is within arms length of you, every time you want to turn it off/on or adjust the volume you have to go over to the speaker to make the change. If I’m relaxing watching my TV, I don’t want to have to jump up to go over to the speaker to make the adjustment.
In looking at a ‘class’ of speakers, there is little noticeable difference in audio sound quality between most brands of Bluetooth speakers (almost all produce fully acceptable sound quality). I think this especially true of similar featured (priced) speakers from Bose, JBL and Ultimate Ears. Therefore, this shouldn’t be a major factor in your decision on which to buy.
The decision really comes down to convenience, features and how you plan to use the speaker. Due to the shortcomings of the the JBL App, I will no longer purchase JBL Bluetooth speakers. I will stick with the brands that give me more remote control functions like Bose and Ultimate Ears.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best of the best.

I've had the speaker for half a year now.
I use it for about 30 minutes every single day, and I do not go easy on it. High volume, always getting soaked with water, and it does not care. Its been dropped in pools, on the concrete, and beaten up in various ways and doesn't even have a scratch on it.
To touch on the topic of battery life, must I mention again, I use it 20-30 minutes every single day. And it will last about a month or LONGER on one charge. Between 700-900 minutes of play time on a charge. That is very impressive in my opinion.
If you are debating buying this speaker, pull the trigger.

I bought this a few weeks ago. Order processing was easy and was delivered on time and in perfect condition. I like the make, quality, and color (blue) of this speaker. The sound is crisp and clear, and got it at a reasonable price! Very handy and I get to use this speaker everyday.

Sounds good but has major issues

Works great until the power/charging connection become wobbly. Had to giggle in the right position to get it to charge. Eventually it couldn’t make the precise right contact and stopped working, like it wasn’t plugged in. It lasted 18 months. Would not recommend
BTW. Never has been outside or mishandled. Sat on the counter
