Everything about it is great and the personalization came out even better. But the battery lasts no where near 10 hours let alone 14. I’ve been using it for work and I’m lucky if I get 5 hours out of it 👎🏽👎🏽 edit: they keep replying that it only lasts if the volume is low and no bass which I think defeats the purpose of the speaker and should at least be included in the description. Who is buying a speaker to keep it at a low volume?

Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that our JBL Grip did not meet your expectations regarding the battery life. We value your input and we'll make sure to share your feedback with the appropriate team.
Our JBL Grip has a published up to playtime of 14 hours which is the maximum battery time you will get when listening at background levels, and how long the battery lasts depends on volume and music content. The recommended charge time for our Grip is 3 hours. Please try to 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 directly so we can assist you further.
Smaller then I expected but puts out some good sound. Its incredibly easy to use and the sound is strong for its size. IP68 rating is awesome. For the price range and size with all the features this is the best speaker on the market today.
