Maybe I just had bad luck???
I bought this in march and had it personalized. Everything was okay the first few days and it had paint scratched off of it from a it taking a short fall off the coffee table. I noticed it doesn’t have 12 full hours of play time like it claims.Then by week two the button responses became delayed and my Bluetooth would take upwards of 30 seconds to chime and connect. Ultimately after troubleshooting and trying to reset it it dies completely and would not turn on or charge. I fear it was a faulty product and hope that was the case. I’m a long time JBL customer and this is the first time I was unhappy. Hopefully my replacement is better

Fantastic speaker
This a fantastic speaker. I also have a Bose speaker of roughly the same size. The sound is much more vibrant and balanced in the JBL than in the Bose. I highly recommend the JBL Grip and recommend it well over the Bose.

Small but Mighty
This little speaker packs a punch. I received one as a gift and ordered a second immediatly after due to the connection feature. This speaker is small but mighty and is exactly what i was looking for. Perfect for backyard BBQs or a day at the beach/pool. Loud enough to jam to, small enough to fit in a bag and with the connectivity feature I can have zoned music instead of one massive bluetooth speaker cranked to 100!

Amazing clarity.
I bought the Grip a month ago, mainly for workshop vibes. I am so impressed with it, the bass and volume for its small size is amazing. Love It !!

No charger
Box does not say you need a charger cord and no charger cord is included inside.
Also it doesn't tell you anywhere, even online, what kind of charger cord you need.
Naturally it is not one that I actually have.
Won't be buying any more products from this company.
