    Less then one month after I bought it, I could not pair it to any phone. We tried everything JBL suggested to fix it but couldn’t. I made an appointment to take it to get it fixed since it was pass the 15 day return policy, but before the appointment it just went back to working. Since I had to pay for the appointment or talk directly to JBL, I didn’t take it. So who knows what it was. Hopefully this won’t happen again.
