Review on ๐Ÿ”ต JBL Flip 3: Splash-Proof Portable Bluetooth Speaker in Blue - Must-Have for Music Lovers by Laura Baker

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fantastic product for the first 8 months

I would like to start off the negative part of my review by saying that I considered the JBL Flip 3 to be one of my best buys until a few months ago. Price, sound quality, portability, durability and battery life make it a real gem of a product. I love music and I really liked this speaker. I had no issues with the speaker until the 8 month mark. About two months ago I noticed that the speaker was mysteriously turning on and off randomly. This only happened a few times a month so I chose to ignore it. Now two months later it happens at least twice a week and can be incredibly frustrating when trying to listen to music with friends. There are now 30-minute time slots where it turns on and off like it has a mind of its own. I read online that it could be a battery problem, but if I leave it on the error persists. I gave this product two stars because it couldn't even live up to 1 year of the advertised 5 year warranty. Since yesterday I have decided to return the speaker and get another of the same type. I still believe in both the brand and the model, but it seems (after reading numerous complaints from other JBL customers) that my particular problem is common to this model as well as many other JBL products. For this reason I advise you to carefully consider purchasing this speaker, if you are looking for a reliable and durable option it may not be for you.
