my Flip 4 battery finally wore out. Looked at how to replace it, and found I would have to dismanel the entire unit. Chose to get the Flip 7, and it is excellent.
Overall the speaker is great! The only thing is that the charger port seems to have problems charging the speaker…

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Here are some steps that may fix the charging issue. Initiate a power cycle by pressing and holding the power button for 30 seconds while the unit is not plugged into a power source. Use a different charging cable, power adapter, and, while it's extremely uncommon, try to use another wall outlet to be certain that the issue is not with the outlet. Also, sand and dirt can get into the product's charging port. Clean the charging port with compressed air. If the issue persists, please contact our customer support.
Best portable speaker I have ever bought. Worth every penny you save from buying cheap speakers that stop after a week. Will definitely buy another when the time comes.
Unfortunately the speaker has a very unpleasant odor, perhaps from the personalized printing. Have not used it due to the odor, have had to leave it in the garage hoping that it will dissipate. So far not yet. I appreciate the option of personalization, however the odor is just not tolerable. I would return it if possible for just a standard model.

Bought this about a month ago and so far it’s been good! It’s small so will be easy to travel with and didn’t take up too much counter space. It’s easy to connect via Bluetooth and has better than decent sound!
The personalization was terrific. but I was surprised that a charging cord was not included. Embarrassing because it was a gift.

Hi there, thank you for your feedback. Our decision not to include a USB Type-C cable for the JBL Flip 7 is because it is commonly available in every household and helps keep the price of the speaker friendly to customers.
