This is the worst speaker I have ever had the displeasure of spending my hard-earned money on. Dies after 3-3.5 hours.

Thank you for sharing us your experience with our JBL Flip 7. It has a published up-to 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. Battery playtime also decreases as the battery ages and all batteries, over time, will slowly wear down. 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. However, if you get less than 90% of the published spec, please contact our customer support so we can assist you further. https://support.jbl.com/us/en/#contact
I charge the battery over night and it still dies while I’m at work even while plugged in. The battery sucks. This happened to my last JBL so I bought this new one. Won’t be buying another ever again.

I bought this for my husband for Father's Day. He LOVES IT!! Color is great and sound is even better. Just bought a second one for my sisters Birthday!
This was a Father’s Day gift. Definitely a step up from a tie. It shipped in good time. The print quality was pretty good. JBL sound and quality is always a winner. Couldn’t be happier.
I bought a JBL Flip 7 in Japan. The sound was excellent, with outstanding bass. When I opened it up, I found a tweeter for the high frequencies and a woofer for the low frequencies. The strap was also sturdy and didn't break even when I swung it around a lot, dropped it on the ground, or put it in water. It was a very good purchase. If you want to buy a Flip cheaply, I recommend buying the ESSENTIAL series or the Flip 6, which is currently very cheap.
