It's a great little speaker with excellent sound quality! I use mine on my bike and it's been working stupendously.

Can’t connect

So freaking disappointed, I bought this to go with my other JBL speakers for some stupid reason I’m unable to use it in party mode with my other speakers, so now I have this useless speaker that doesn’t connect to my other speakers. Why the heck with this company produce a speaker that is incompatible with it’s OWN other products

The product is good but I just didn’t like how it didn’t come with a charger.

Despite online reviews saying the contrary, the sound quality is garbage. Very little depth of sound due to poor bass. Everything you listen to sounds tinny and flat

Thanks for your feedback. We recommend adjusting the EQ settings and enhancing the bass using the JBL Portable app.

okay, not great

I replaced a flip 5, which quit working, (wouldn't hold a charge) and the grip does not sound as good as the flip by far, so I'm disappointed. I would send the flip 5 in for repair if you do that type of thing...I used them for background music in my qi gong and meditation classes and occasionally want a higher volume for resound in the room.

Small in size, large in sound

I bought this to go with my JBL Boombox 4 so I could sync up and have boom box on my dock and the grip on my floating cooler. I have done test runs and the syncing works effortlessly and the sound of the grip sounds great by itself or when syncing up. I am so happy to finally found these and best off they are waterproof. I also love how I was able to personalize the design, that was super easy and I it makes me want to design and buy more to add them to the fun and amazing sound. looking forward to the summer and floating fun with my summer tunes blasting.

Compact, great color. Sound is clean and can make things out when in my shower and listening to audio books. No complaints.
