45min playtime, not 16hr !!!
Bought 2 of these last wee. It's built well, and sounds good. But the battery is horrible. Lucky to get 45 minutes of use unless plugged in. Is it possible to replace the battery?

Great audio
I got this as a gift and immediately got home and tried it out, Even though other people have complained, I listens to complex music and nothing happens, just great audio. Awesome speaker would recommend.

Great look, awful battery
I bought this a few months ago and was so excited at first since I got a custom build that looks incredible! After a few months of use, the battery has worn down significantly and is absolutely terrible. I wish I had done a bit more research before taking the leap and buying something that won’t last as long.

Response from Staples :
Thanks for your feedback. The published battery life is up to 12 hours, but actual playtime depends on volume and source content. At background listening levels, you’ll get the maximum battery time, but as you increase volume or boost bass, playtime decreases—just like a phone battery drains faster with a brighter screen. Music with more bass also shortens battery life. 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. 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. For further assistance, please contact us.

Great sound custom design is flawed.
Bought this at the beginning of the month. Was very happy with the look and sound of the speaker. Unfortunately after less than a month with little use the design I picked is coming off the speaker. Pieces of the color on the fabric wrap are coming off and it’s only been used a few times sitting on a counter with no rough use. Will not be making a personalized speaker e...

Classic JBL sound, on the go!
Having been a lifelong JBL fan (have a pair of Decade 26 speakers for almost 30 years, JBL headphones, and a JBL Clip), I wanted to get a waterproof, long battery life portable player. Many of my friend have the earlier Flip models, and they sound amazing...had to grab a Flip 7, and WOW! Classic JBL sound, long battery charge, and the iPhone app to customize the sound (...

I’m emotionally recovering…
Great sound, but the colour (blue) in the pictures and the actual colour of the speaker couldn’t be more different… It’s borderline criminal. The blue in the photos looked muted and modern; the real speaker looks like a children’s toy...

Under water for a week
I got the flip 7 in camo over the summer. I’m 53 and I take this thing everywhere. A few weeks ago I was in the woods moving a tree stand and listening to music. Well, long story short , I fell 18 ft and shattered every bone in my left leg. Music still playing. So after 4 days In the hospital I got home and called my daughter to make sure they picked up all my stuff whe...

Fantastic little speaker!
I bought this speaker for my hubby's birthday and he is over the moon with it! The sound quality is outstanding and the compact size makes it easy to transport wherever we go.

No battery life
The battery life doesn’t even last for 4 hours. I loved my jbl 5 but it broke so replaced it with the 7 and it was a downgrade for sure.

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.
