I love the speaker, great sound, good and loud, it’s awesome. But while I was listening to music I keep getting “beeps”. Which is very annoying because it interrupts the music often with that beeping. It also kicked me off the Bluetooth, a Lot. I tried using it with wifi, then without wifi to see if that helps but it doesn’t make one bit of difference, it still knocked me off and I had to restart the speaker and plush play on my phone every time to start the music again. This is y I’m returning the speaker and paying an extra 100$ to get the Bose speaker instead.

Pros: comfortable Sound was good Calls were clearCons:Couldn’t put your phone in your pocket or Bluetooth would cut in and out.Can’t walk across a room without your phone or Bluetooth cuts in and outIf you had a big neck you would not be able to get them on.If I just wanted them to sit at my desk and work, they would be fine, but I wanted to be outside gardening and such. Returned, wouldn’t work for me.

I use this product mainly in cars. While driving a car, it is a very suitable product for listening to music while listening to the surrounding sounds. It is highly recommended for those who want to improve listening to music in the car with a small investment. Keep in mind that as the volume goes up, the use time is reduced. I think BOSE products are so bassy, so buying a JBL is a good way to use a bass booster in your app. It is a product that realizes the space feeling of music very effectively.

a 4-star rating is a close call for me. I like the sound these headphones make. The research I did said that JBL made great sound devices, and they’re right.The biggest downside is that it’s a little tight around my neck. I don’t think I have a particularly big neck, but their a bit snug. They’re definitely usable, and the sound is great. However, I wish they were a bit more flexible or even a half an inch wider to make it a little more comfortable on the neck.

As stated, the sound quality as well as build quality are top notch for something you toss on your shoulders. The battery, however, prompted me to write this review as under high volumes I barely got 2-1/2 to 3 hours on one charge before it died. If this thing lasted twice as long I would give it 5 stars (it states a 6 hour battery life) but I’m docking two stars on this alone. That is just not nearly long enough to be practical for a portable speaker.

What a scam. Heavy tight fit around my neck. Did I say heavy and a tight squeeze to fit on your neck.? The worst part about this OVERPRICED item is it holds a battery time of 2-3 hours TOPS. What the heck. I drive for 5hour sessions and run out of charge quickly. I’m sorry I bought this. Never again!

These phones sound amazinggggg! And there good to use indoors and outdoors but the battery life is only 2 hours even though it says 6! Even if charged over night no matter how low or high you play music or y’all on the phone the battery life is still only 2 hours. Very annoying and disappointing

Really good sound quality but do not venture too far from you connected source. I like to workout in the garage and do not prefer anything in my pockets so my source is on a bench or table. If I move too far away 20′-30′ (going inside the house) the signal starts to skip out. If this is for working our or worn during rigorous physical work, I suggest an extra layer or towel to prevent sweat from contacting it.
