Amazing speaker
on December 25, 2025
Posted by: Musicgirl13
I bought this speaker to surprise my daughter for Christmas. Needless to say she was ecstatic. We used a picture she took at a concert and it is by far her favorite gift. Also, the sound quality is amazing.
It’s a great speaker “packs a punch” as they say, I’m docking two stars simply because it overheats and dies within two hours if I blast it, what’s the point of having a speaker you cant turn up all the way.
Battery life is disappointing. I use 2 of them for my dance classes and need them to be at a high volume (from other online reviews I guess it drains the battery if the volume is high) and I am not able to get through one night of classes which is about 3-4 hours. They died after an hour and a half after being fully charged. I would not have bought them if I would have known that prior.

Thanks for your feedback on our JBL Grip. The published up-to-playtime 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. 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, this likely means that the battery is losing its capacity. Please contact us for further assistance.
We just bought this to replace a JBL Flip speaker, and so far, we are delighted with it. The sound is fantastic for a little speaker and sounds full and clear.
I bought this speaker a few days ago and I'm super happy with it. Even though it's small, it has incredible sound quality! And the battery lasts an impressive amount of time!
Base is lacking. Design is very nice. Fits in a cup holder, so great for a golf cart, pool float, or beach chair. Sound quality is mid.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the JBL Grip. While we strive for all our products to meet the highest standards, we understand this wasn't the case for you. Your feedback is important and will be relayed directly to our product development team as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our offerings.
Got this from my work as a 25 years of service gift. (I know that’s it) And a charging cord is not included. That’s annoying!

Thanks for your feedback. To minimize e-waste, we consciously choose not to include a charging cable in our packaging. You can use any standard USB-C cable to charge your JBL Grip, as well as a power adapter compliant with the USB-C standard. Past products already have standardized USB-C cables, which can be reused for new products.
