Very Unstable Connectivity.

Bought both Xtreme & Flip3.
Once I separate the devices by even 4 or 5 steps either one or the other will immediately begin cutting in & out.
These two speakers were purchased exclusively because I could connect the two.
Both were updated and Ive tried every configuration of connecting only one speaker & pairing the other, connecting both simultaneously etc. etc.
This shouldnt be this complicated, I mean this feature was created specifically for this purpose.
Im not talking about not being able to make the colour change here. This is about the functionality of the sound.
Others have brought up the exact same problem with these speakers and not just in the past month either.
Is anybody on JBLs end reading these reviews?
