JBL Flip Portable Stereo Speaker System with Bluetooth - Black

Customer Reviews:* I have recently replaced my iPhone 4S with an iPhone 5, and since then have been suffering from lack of interface support with all of my charging/speaker docks. I have an expensive JBL speaker dock and a couple of other fairly portable ones with great sound quality... and now I cannot use them without an adapter, and the phone does not fit in them with the case... major pain in the behind.We were at a party at friends' house and he was using a tiny bluetooth lousy, horrible sound little speaker that annoyed me to tears because I have very sensitive hearing and I cannot stand bad sound quality, so I started looking on Amazon on my phone for better alternatives that evening. When we got home I researched several of these speakers, and at the end decided that due to my previously great experience with JBL products, and the combination of size/price and features, this speaker is a good choice.I received it a few days ago and boy am I surprised. First of all I was sure it was going to be much larger, so the size was originally a suspicious surprise as I expected less than ideal sound quality with this size, but when I took it out of the box and paired it with my phone in 10 seconds, and started playing some tracks that I usually use to test out sound systems - and I was very pleasantly surprised.Since then I have been playing music on this thing for like 18 hours a day. I put it on the mantle in the living room and it fills up the room beautifully, I did not even reach the full volume setting and the sound quality is absolutely superb.The battery lasted about 7 hours of playback today until I charged it - it did not even die, I just plugged it in eventually.I am very very happy with this purchase, I am one of those people who despite being a technology freak, takes some time to adopt new technologies due to quality concerns. I did not believe that bluetooth connection could produce such high quality sound, and I am very happy to find out that I was mistaken.The only thing that is a bit annoying, is that I forget it is my phone which is producing the audio, and if I cover it or put it under my arm when I am carrying the baby around, the sound will jump and stop because of the bluetooth, but that is the phone and not the speaker.All in all, definitely 5 stars. Very good value for the money and so easy to operate with my MacBook Air, iPhone, and iPad. * My wife travels so she needed a portable rechargeable bluetooth speaker. We went to a local electronics store and listened to the original Jambox, the Beats Pill, and the JBL flip. The Pill sounded tinny and lacked the bass of the other two. The Jambox was well balanced. The JBL, at half the price of the Pill and Jambox, was well balanced but just sounded better to us. We paired it with her Samsung Galaxy in 5 seconds and had music playing in 10 seconds. The JBL is easy to use, has enough volume to fill a decent size room, and sounds great. I should subtract one star for not including a connection cord for an iPod but the value and performance outranks a two dollar cord.
