I can never get more than 2 hours play time on the CLIP4. I use it while golfing and it is very frustrating.

I used to own a clip 3 and loved it. So I purchased a clip 4. The sound seems better on the clip 4 but right out of the box I don't like 3 things immediately. 1: I don't like that there is no dust cover for the charging port. I don't care if you say it's "dust" proof, I work in construction and I'm going to be very upset if it gets clogged with a bunch of crap other than dust and I can't charge it. 2: I don't like that the power and Bluetooth buttons aren't concaved anymore, they are raised so they are way to easy to hit the button turning it off or the Bluetooth which is just annoying. 3: the charging cable is way to short. I like the clip 3 design better.

I bought a jbl clip 3, been using it for years, but the battery is sadly no longer holding a charge or charging. So when i came looking for a new one, i figure upgrading to the jbl clip 4 wasnt a bad idea, same price i paid for the old one. And then as i was trying it out, i come to find they removed features the previous model had. No more phone calls, just audio. No long displays battery life percentage in bluetooth menu. Their "waterproof" is now like phones, no flap to cover the port, just cant charge it until the port dries out. The only apprehension i had about buying it, based on reviews and design was the sensitive buttons. But thats the one thing i haven't had happened. Companies need to stop making new models with less features than the old models. Might as well be selling a downgrade.
