" ... I think its due to the Charge+ feature this product give longer battery life. ... "
" ... The sound was much better than the previous JBL Charge, but the battery doesn't last that much, this one lasts like half of time than my brothers who has the previous version JBL Charge, even that this one is 2 year older than mine ... "
" ... The battery lasts a long time and the compact design is great for carrying it everywhere. ... "
" ... Hours and hours of music enjoyment. ... "
" ... Sounds great, connects to source easily, and battery life seems pretty good. ... "
" ... I am still amazed by the sound quality, and the battery life seems to beat other units (that my kids have). ... "
" ... The charge capability does come in handy, and although it drains the battery on the speaker fairly quickly, it charges a standard phone multiple times before dying. ... "
" ... Anyway, this speaker stands the test of time, battery and all (still holds a 10+ hour charge). ... "

" ... I have had this speaker for 11 months. ... "
" ... Are these only supposed to last one year??? ... "
" ... Product speakers failed after one year. ... "
" ... I am so upset that I spend this much on a "supposedly" good brand that didn't ever last for 2 years!!!! ... Bought it 1/2016 and on 6/2017 it was no longer working. ... "
" ... I have not dropped then or anything and they just stop working . ... "
" ... (This started months ago, maybe a year) Not even five minutes. ... Over the past few weeks it has also had issues staying connected to my phone. ...
