No Auracast support

The speaker works great and as advertised. What I failed to notice is that this speaker doesn't support the multi-speaker Auracast that JBL speakers are well known for. Now to be fair, the documentation doesn't say that it does support Auracast, but amongst all the documentation on the product discussion of Auracast and its inability to support it is conveniently left out.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the performance of your JBL Flip Essential 2 and we appreciate your note regarding the lack of Auracast support; while this specific model is designed for simplicity, we understand how a clearer mention of feature exclusions would have been helpful. Your input is incredibly valuable, and we’ll be sharing it with our product team to help improve our documentation in the future. Feel free to contact our customer support if you need further assistance.

Cute size, great sound with bass!

We're a big fan of JBL, when I saw that it was on sale for $49.88 it was a deal I couldn't pass up on. This is just the right size for the beach, since we live here in Florida. It was perfect! The sound was spot on with a booming bass. Thank you Sam's Club!!

Lasted 1 year and 4 months. save your money!

Bought the speaker on November 4th 2024 and have not used it that much and today the speaker started to begin to cut out. I recharged the speaker and tried it again and immediately it started to cut out again. Today is 03/30/2026 so it lasted 1 year and 4 months.

reply from JBL Support

Thanks for your feedback. Here are some troubleshooting steps that might help isolate the issue with your JBL Flip Essential 2. First, put your unit in pairing mode, then enable Bluetooth on the source device. Next, find the unit on the Bluetooth list and select it. If this does not solve the problem, you will need to do a reset and manually re-pair again. To reset, turn on the speaker, press and hold "Volume +" and "Play" for more than 3 seconds. The speaker will turn off, and reboot to factory default. You may need to 'forget' the speaker in the Bluetooth settings on your phone/tablet to pair it again. If the issue remains, please contact us at (800) 336-4525 Mon - Fri: 9:00 am - 11:00 pm (EST) Sat-S: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm (EST)

reply from JBL Support

Thanks for your feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve. With our JBL Flip Essential 2, source devices (phones, tablets, etc.) all behave a bit differently. Some have very loud outputs, and some can be quite a bit lower, even at maximum volumes. You may try to use an equalizer on your music application to adjust the volume to your preference. Additionally, our JBL Flip Essential 2 has up to 10 hours of battery life. This may vary depending on volume and music content. If the speaker doesn't meet the advertised playtime hours even at low to mid-volume levels, there could be a problem with the battery of the unit. Please contact our Customer Support, so we can assist you.
