I had an old versions of an update so it killed the battery life, by miss calculating the power, i used original charger, and looked up for any way to update it cuz it had too many bugs, so now after it fully charge it does not play longer than 1min, very disappointing product!

I have been using the JBL Flip4 for the past 11 months and the thing what i have observed it that it has got a very poor Battery Life. The Battery was pretty Good for the first 10 months , later the Playtime Hours decreased step by step and it hardly stands for just 10 mins now. I would not recommend anyone to buy this overpriced speaker.Though the sound quality is Good , the battery life for this Price is Highly Disappointing.

I always loved JBL speakers, but I was thoroughly impressed when I dropped my JBL Flip 4 in the toilet. The WHOLE thing was soaked. Consider it's toilet water, I then had to clean the JBL Speaker under the shower with soap. You can say my speaker took a shower of its own and there was no impact to the sound/tech. I knew these were waterproof, but I never truly tested the waterproof capabilities and I was impressed. Great speaker!
The JBL Flip 4 has great sound at a great price but, the quick start guide only told me there were buttons and lights, not what they were for. The guide didn't tell me what the lights meant. I had to use you-tube to figure out what 5 the white lights meant; when it was fully charged and how to connect to blue tooth.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had this for about 2 years now. It's indestructible. I float the Illinois River and it just sits in a foot of water for 6 hours. My kids drop it constantly. Still looks brand new. Still works in perfect condition. I wish I would have bought the bigger one is my only regret.
The speaker begins to sound static outta no where and dies way to fast even tho i was charging it for the whole day.
