Good Speaker . BUT , Battery life Sucks

SO, Over all not a bad product . However the Battery life SUCKS . I cant tell you howmany times ive been out and about with it and it goes dead . It sgreat when it works but you have to charge it all the time . Was looking for better out of JBL. I have 3 different speakers all JBL and have this problem with all of them
I purchased these speakers as a EMS week gift for my agency. Everyone loves them. Easy to set up and the volume on such a small speaker is amazing. Great product!
We have been buying JBL since my kids were little. They each had their own clip. Then we went to the bigger one than they were out and we had bought square ones. We have a couple of flips that we use out about around the barn if I have a choice, I will always go JBL. They have never disappointed yet.
I received this items a few weeks ago. It exceeded my expectations. First, I customized it and it looked amazing. The design was so much bolder that I anticipated. It was a great size, easily portable, packed MEGA volume. So easy to use, even my 6 year old was able to use it.
This is not the first JBL speaker or the last that I have purchased. The product itself is amazing. Sounds great, durable, clip is so convenient. Most importantly their support is amazing A company backing their product is so important. I had a snag with delivery and they could not of handled it better. You need this speaker!
This little speaker is perfect for the shower. It clips onto my shower head and hangs behind it. Super easy to use. When I turn it on it automatically connects to my phone (after initial set -up of course). Volume and sound quality are great. I’ve only had it a couple weeks so I can’t speak to the longevity of it, but overall I’m very happy with the purchase so far.
I love it! I just wish it could stand upright or have a little stand. It sounds better when both sides of the speaker are exposed. I tried propping it up but it just vibrated and fell over. It sounds better without the power boost, (I think that’s what it’s called; to make the battery run longer.). The compact size is perfect for taking on vacation and having a little music while in my hotel room.
The sound is great. Unfortunately the speaker disconnects or turns off. My previous phone had the same issue. I have a Clip 4 without the issue and enjoy the sound but was hoping to upgrade with a new and improved model.

We appreciate your feedback. If your JBL Clip 5 turns off randomly, please make sure that the speaker is fully charged before using it. If this still does not resolve the issue, proceed to perform the reset. To reset the speaker, remove the speaker from your source device's Bluetooth settings. Power on the speaker, then press and hold the Volume + button and Play/Pause button together for 2 seconds until the speaker turns off. Pair the speaker again to your device to see if it fixes the issue. However, if your product keeps disconnecting from your device, feel free to contact our customer support directly for us to know more about the issue and to assist you further with your concern. https://support.jbl.com/us/en/#contact
