I've had this speaker for about 2 years now and i bought it for about 130?. My family is very impressed of what this speaker is capable of in such a small package. I know this is quite outdated and that's why I'm also not recommending it anymore. Buy a JBL Charge 4 or some kind of newer flip since they are better. But if I was to go back in time to when I bought it, I would recommend this to everyone. Have a nice day.

It's a great speaker, but even tho I don't have social mode on, other people can connect to it at the same time. And I don't know how to fix it.

I bought my Charge 2+ two years ago and has a crackling sound when I play it without having it plugged into the charge cable. I would not have purchased it had I known it would not last.

Bought this roughly 2 years ago and it will not work without a crackling noise... JBL only builds these to last a year must be.

Bought this 2 years ago, been with me on the sandy beaches around the world. Many beers and beverages have been spilled on this device and it's still flawless. The quality is still great no problems with it whatsoever.

I bought JBL Charge 2+ six months ago. I've been playing all kinds of music with it. I'm amazed with the quality of sound reproduction. I would describe it as "monitor" sound; meaning that the speaker plays anything - as it is: FLAC or MP3s with high quality are excellent, while bad recordings sound... bad... as they are. Excellent bass, mid and high frequency reproduction - although sometimes bass is "more" present, but never annoying or "booming". Extremely well built speaker, robust and "worry free" built, suitable for both indoor or outdoor use. Especially in outdoors it is amazing how well the sound is defined, sounds almost the same as indoors. Very solid feeling of touch and use; splash proof is an extra advantage too!.. It's a kind of surprise to many people listening to it. They've been left speechless from the sound quality, when they realized it was coming from such a small speaker!. Powerful, rich and accurate sound out of such a small "box"... IMO a very well balanced speaker, in terms of frequency response. I'm sure JBL did a great job in terms of built-in compressor / limiter equalization firmware, resulting in such a high quality sound reproduction. Excellent voices, pianos, drums, guitars... All this without any distortion, at any level. A really pleasant speaker to listen to music! All it needs is... well recorded music!... Very long lasting battery life. Most of the times it lasts for the 12 hours claimed by JBL. Charging my smartphone while "performing" music is a great feature too!... Highly recommended for all kinds of music lovers!...

Seriously, nothing else comes close in this price range or size. It blows me away every time that so much sound is coming from such a small package. I also own the JBL Extreme and this little speaker can hold it's own against it in a small room.

The speaker has good performance and battery life. The only issue I have is the base is designed poorly, and it like to roll like a water bottle. It has rolled off the counter or table multiple times from the surface being jarred.

I’ve this speaker for a couple weeks now. Sound quality is fine in comparison with other BT speakers. NOT waterproof is a major disappointment.

purchased the jbl charge 2+ approx. 6 months ago after my flip completely went on the fritz. welp, now i feel like i'm back at sqare one. i love th device but when it randomly stops taking a charge. mind you, when connected, only one battery light blinks and 12 hours later that same light is still blinking. after unplugging the device, battery light immediatlely turns to red and the bluetooth button attempts to pair with with iphone, which sends me an error message telling me to make sure i'm near the device... but that's the least of my concern. i've already replaced the ccharging cable twice, which was ridiculously overpriced, and now dealing with this dang charging issue appears to have that cropped up for no apparent reason. i love the design of the bluetooth speakers... and i would say quality, but i clearly need to move onto a more realiable speaker after dropping more than $450 to $500 in less than 2 years.

I bought this speaker about a year ago, however it will no longer pair with my iPhone 7 or my Mac. I can connect other devices to both my phone and Mac so I know the issue is the speaker.

Wonderful little speaker from JBL! Far superior than the small Bose Bluetooth. Great features like the splash proof and the fact that it reproduces mus
