Questions & Answers

Should I place an item I use as a computer speaker that is powered through the USB port on my laptop when he's used as a computer speaker, will leaving it powered via USB diminish the charge capacity over time instead of unplugging it once it's full?

Using the USB ports on the laptop or PC, with the ability to recharge it, the device will remain energized for extended periods of time.

Has anyone checked the Flip 3 or the Flip 4 out d the Flip 4 and Clip 3 for podcasts? What sound is most clear for vone is clearer and better sounding?

This is what I use when I want to listen to any podcasts.

According to my experience, the JPL flip 4 gets shut off when the battery is at least 30% charged. My flip 4 is direct-connect as it had a lower battery voltage. Why?

There's a decent chance that the battery in your phone went bad, I've owned mine for a month and it still doesn't even charge.

What is the procedure for changing ng the battery? Is literally unusable while it t literally shuts off while plugged in?

It is likely that they are lithium ion batteries that have great potential but should be properly maintained. For a battery issue, it is important to contact JBL in order to see if a repair is available or if the replacement is offered at a discount. The Flip 4 has not had many battery replacements recently, but its seals are pretty strong. It's very possible the factory seal will be lost, so watch out. As the speakers are mounted on the ends, I'm unsure how to start disassembling. The closest thing to an end may be to the middle of the speakers.

Selected User Reviews For JBL Flip 4 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Blue

According to JBL, all of their speakers fall out of their chairs while doing so
3/5

After hearing audio, a speaker switches to sleep mode and doesn't awaken until 1 second. That occurs when the speaker begins silent mode. Using this speaker, I can determine which workout is going on at a given moment. "Begin . To Switch Sides. "Gr" is a combination of two words; in this case, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two. A side is a side. I refer to these numbers as 9,87,500, 6,666,5, 4,3,2,1". In silence, it takes a second for the speaker to fall asleep so it drops "Be", "Switch", and "10. JBL representatives admitted that they are powerless to fix it when it was contacted. It turns out that watching scary films in which you are silent at certain times prevents you from hearing the scream, as the speaker drops out the first second after it does. I gave this speaker a 1 because I purchased it for my gym classes 100 percent of the time and it doesn't deal with silence well.

As speaker happens to cut out at certain audio levels, there's a workaround
4/5

It has been well-received for its sound quality. My only complaint is the speaker's cut outs when the audio level dropping below a threshold affects the performance. My only experience with it is the speaker's cut outs when the audio level falls below a threshold. In the case of watching movies, there will be no noise to speak of (such as a pause in conversation, etc. ) that will prompt the speaker to cut in, which creates a vacuum that would cause the background sound to disappear. The speaker comes back first when they have begun speaking again, such as a split second after the initial utterance. It turned up all sound on our computer and is now volume and minimized by taking a look at that workaround pic. We turned the sound up for maximum audio and then heard our computer's volume down. Taking a second to cut the speakers out has worked out pretty well, and we've not observed any signs of it any more. However, at the end of the day, this was a good thing if it didn't have to be done. Although I do not completely enjoy the speaker, I am pleased with the purchase.

Despite being marked "$0
3/5

00", I received a Flip 3 marked "$0. 05" in a Flip 4, box. The parcel was purchased by my husband for him as a present. I eagerly opened it when I found a sticker on it stating "FRAUD". I wasn't ready to give in to it; I had to go on crying while I looked at the sticker. The speaker looked incredibly different from my Flip 4, even though they were so far removed from me that I was thrilled it had just been misplaced. Different buttons used at different ends, different seals, and different ports colored part, that makes it smaller. While investigating my Flip 3 purchase, I discovered that it was marked with a sticker with a fraud warning, which led me to believe that this seller was 100% aware there was no correct speaker included. It works, as long as it's new, but on this occasion it didn't perform. I bought the speaker thinking I would get a refund for the wrong product, but it didn't work out. I had a lucky trip due to time to mess with returns. However, if you use the item for a specific project by a certain date, buy it when you get the extra money.

Beware of buyers who make the wrong choice
3/5

For such a small device, sounds are great. I didn't expect it to be as loud as it is. Moving Pictures gave me the experience I have always hoped for, and it would pass all channels with no problem. The bass of these Bluetooth devices is strong but not heavy and often boomy. The most common complaints are: Here are some highlights:
1. A single set of tones in on/off mode doesn't adjust its volume. There are limitations to how far you can disable it with the JBL connect app.
2. (1) If you want to daisy chain your JBL rkbar connect app (which you need if you want to daisy chain this device), you must have the location settings on. Yes, that is true. When the app is running, you should disable location. Having made such a mistake the first time around, I kept turning on location services and threw several rounds of voice-over talking. In an effort to set location on the app, the app is forced to turn the function on through a series of prompts. Answering no to those will cause the app to stop working. After denying the last nag, it will shut down. Therefore, I will probably return this phone since I'm not comfortable sharing any details about where I plan to use the device.

One speaker is an abysmal speaker in spite of being in good shape
3/5

I have now gifted a friend one of these speakers as well as purchased two speakers. As my friend noted, my speaker impressed his with his quality and performance for several months, but I was not able to put my finger on why he was not particularly pleased with that speaker. During the installation of our speakers, we started playing them as sets. When the second speaker heard a static or vibrating sound, I was taken back to an earlier time. I didn't find the second speaker of stereo interesting even though it sounded great (ranging from different musical types and spoken voices) and it had an unreasonable volume. It cannot be played at high volumes without winning it. In any case, we will not accept returns or warranty claims any time soon. In an effort to preserve my reputation, I am no longer interested in buying this product at this time, so I suggest those who might want to try it to run it out before making an offer of assistance. Despite 50% being a poor rate for failure, the first speaker still works well.

Best BT speaker ever!!   Wow! While reading the reviews I decided to buy this speaker mainly because I found it to be so great, nothing could have prepared me for how amazingly amazing the blue tooth speaker really is
5/5

There's nothing in the video that can replace the roar of the song. It was the best thing I've ever done. Due to my frequent use of mp3 music from my phone, I bought this for the upcoming beach trip. If your screen goes to sleep after it gets tired, it stops working. It has to get to that location where it doesn't sleep at all if you want to keep going. Unlike the speakers, the battery of your phone will run out. Every speaker will go through that, regardless of their level of expertise. Also, it's a plus for the pool. I had the best version of this so far. It is highly recommended that you do so.

After 3 months it's all junk
3/5

I bought this for my son in December as a gift. Sounds just like it looked as far as talking into the laptops were concerned but charging has apparently stopped. In the final days of it charging, we purchased 6/3/2019; bought 11/15-2017; and bought 10/2/18; all 10 or more times until it dropped to 2/11/18. Returns are advised when made after 1/41/18 or more. During the date of 2/5/2018, the customer support window for product support was closed. I am disgusted with JBL.

It is common to mistake the term "pay what you get" for nothing
5/5

The result is that you DO get what you paid for in this case. It is my pleasure to introduce you to this speaker. Immediately, I respond with an immediate reaction. WHOA! Upon being tested with it on only one night, I can honestly say I have fallen in love with its sound. The bass gets surprisingly powerful when you use it to good effect, it gets LOUD when it needs to be. This sounds a bit like a 1950s model to say the least. is one big boom box, unlike another one that is much smaller it could really bang. As an upgrade from all the ordinary portable speakers I have used, this sound is exceptional. In addition, several years ago, JBL products were released, so this is a logical next step. Several decades ago, people thought this type of thing would never occur.
