Love the color & sound

Just purchased. Loved the sound and stuff packaging. Hopefully the eco version really is what it says it is. There were little to no plastic in my shipment. Even the little cardboard to wrap the cord was smart.
I love the personalized aspect of the speaker. We used a precious family photo that brings us great joy every time we see it. There is a problem with the speaker cutting in and out at times. I have to shut down all of the permissions in the apps so they don't interfere with the phone doing phone things. I have to make sure it's only being used as a speaker. Also, wifi in my location is always dicy sometimes I need to run the phone on the data link. Overall, I love the stunning bass response and great quality of the sound. Still glad I got it even though I have trouble with it at times. It could be just related to where I live.
I purchased this within the last couple of weeks. So far so good. It is much louder than my Bose Soundlink Color 2s that I have. The sound goes out in all directions, which is a nice feature that in my opinion should be standard for all portable Bluetooth speakers. It handles my heavy (and I mean heavy) metal music with ease. And yet it’ll also play the clearest melodies with crisp, clear sound. I love the camouflage color that I got; something about the pattern just spoke to me. I haven’t given the battery the full test (aka, letting it drain all the way down), but it seems to hold a charge plenty long, at least for my listening needs. Of course the waterproof and dustproof factors are an added bonus. I am quite happy with this speaker. I just hope nothing breaks down on me!!!
Thankful that I was able to order from the JBL website so that I could get the Teal JBL5, and also be somewhat reassured the product hadn’t been tampered with beforehand.
HOWEVER, one of the chargers came rusted?? I will need a replacement.
