Review on JBL Flip 5 Waterproof Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Bundle - Black with Hardshell Protective Case by Athit Za ᠌

Gave me this column on the DR. I've used it 5 times in a year. Year warranty. After a year and 1 month, it began to turn off immediately after turning it on. Take it to an authorized service center. They said that the battery and board needed to be changed. Repair cost 8tr. I would still understand if I exploited it mercilessly and it broke. But she broke down just like that, on her own. Was lying unused and just stopped working. "Gorgeous" quality. She also has such a parameter: "service life" (in the brochure it is stated 5 years, in support they say - two). Here is the formal definition of this concept: "The service life is the period during which the manufacturer undertakes to provide the consumer with the opportunity to use the product for its intended purpose and be responsible for its significant shortcomings." I can no longer use it for its intended purpose. A dead battery and a board are quite significant shortcomings. Do you know which manufacturer is responsible? Before the expiration of the service life, they are ready to undertake paid repairs and sell me spare parts, and after the expiration - at their discretion (I can refuse). There is such a thing as "planned obsolescence". Its essence is that the product is initially created with an unreasonably short service life in order to force the consumer to make repeated purchases. This is the only reason I can find to explain why my column stopped working a month after the end of the warranty period. Although maybe, of course, I'm wrong, and all because the collector's hands are not from the right place and the quality is rubbish. To summarize: sounds good, but not for long. If you are ready to buy a new one every year, then I recommend it.
