"battery lasts me forever, I charge it once a week and I game every day."
"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."

"sits perfectly in a water bottle holder, for biking, taking in your car, etc."
"for the price, i feel like it’s still the best option, especially for the size"
"I love the lifestyle projectors as I can easily camp out with movies, take it to a friends for "the big game", or point it at the ceiling and play games from bed while laying on my back."

"It gets much louder than JBL flip ... I just want good and loud sound for outdoors."
"After using it, I can confidently say it has superior sound quality to my Anker soundcore and Amazon echo speakers that I have mostly used in the past. ... I have to say, I ’m pretty surprised at how good it sounds. ... I’d say for use in a shop or work environment, it’s quite good given how much background noise there could be."
"I could hear it loud and clear, with bumping bass. ... When on full, it sounds like somebody is throwing a loud house party."

"Yeah the battery life on Apple Watch is pathetic. ... Like I have the 4G Apple watch which I wear when I am out of town just in case my iphone dies or gets broken and I am in an emergency. That happened to me a few months back. I had my watch and only my watch. I had 4G turned on for emergency services and GPS turned on so I can find my way home. Convienent and life saving right? Except the stupid thing died after an hour and after that I was stuck with no communication abilities at all in the middle of the night wandering the streets. What good is having all of those capabilities if they are just going to die on you after 10 minutes? ... other than as an emergency backup for my phone (which I have now proven is a joke in a real life emergency)"
"If I record for more than 14 minutes it will freeze and battery is already almost dead. This is at night night by the way so temperature isn't high."
"the battery now wears out very quickly - after about 1 hour of usage."

"Does the charge auto-mute if it doesn't recieve audio signal for a bit, like the flip does? ... The last time I used it I got pretty annoyed. I wouldn't buy it again if that's the main thing I'd use it for."
It seems that 10 out of 40,000,000 have had an issue. Watch out. :D buy a lotto ticket or a flip, or a plane ticket, same chances
r/JBL • I thought about buying charge 6 but I'm really scared after seeing few posts.. ->Yeah, realistically that isn't going to happen, replacing 10 speakers with 1-3 is tough as it is, much less when those 10 speakers were designed for the space they are in and those 1-3 are jammed into an enclosure with the amp and battery in a single unit... I mean the closest you will get is a one of the big JBL Party Boxes which honestly isn't very portable at like 75 pounds and 45 inches tall, not to mention they run a grand or so. If you just want decent sound quality -AND- portability the JBL Flip, Charge, or even the Extreme series are pretty decent, but for high end quality you are going to be going well over the $500 mark... KEF, Bowers & Wilkens, Sonos, etc. And Bose... Yeah, I am not a huge fan... I would take the Infinity system in my Hyundai over it in a heartbeat for sound quality.
r/Corvette • I might be asking in the wrong sub, but can anyone recommend a good portable Bluetooth speaker as good as C7 Bose speakers ->Cu banii aia îți cumperi un jbl flip de black Friday acum și ai calitate. Și la 150 de euro găsești jbl charge care deja rupe
r/Aliexpress • Best bluetooth speaker? ->I'm like your dad with the old vintage system from my college days. I cherish them, but I also bought into the JBL Flip environment and don't regret it one bit. Do it and buy two to pair. Amazing sound.
r/JBL • Should I buy a flip 7? ->Audio is wholly subjective so it's whatever you prefer; I know people who are fully team JBL; I'm team Bose. Back in the day I purchased the first generation JBL Flip based on positive reviews, I disliked it so much I sold (flipped) it immediately. But they may have improved somewhat since then?
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Looking for budget with clear sound, bass, waterproof ->JBL Flip. Sounds super good! 👍🏻 Used to be much much cheaper but price has gotten up these years
r/BuyItForLife • What's the best quality bluetooth speaker you've ever tried? ->The JBL flip is louder and has better overall sound quality.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Beats Pill, bad lmao ->JBL Charge is a good pick, or the Flip series if you're more concerned about size, although they are both pretty compact. Soundcore Motion Boom is a good choice as well, however it's a bit more awkwardly shaped if you're trying to fit it in a bag.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Bluetooth speaker for beach ->JBL charge series is always a great buy, With a $150 budget. I have had my JBL charge 3 since 2018, only recently upgraded to the party box series, because I wanted something bigger and with way more bass. For a desk speaker the charge 4-5 is perfect, it has enough bass with EQ added. The flip and the other smaller ones that you can clip on, are going to be slightly quiet compared to the charge series. The charge series is the happy medium between good sound and portability.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Bluetooth speaker ->JBL - I still have a 6 or 8 year old Flip that just won’t quit.
