I have 2 Flip 3s that I play in my office and had a couple of quirks at first until I found that you must follow these steps and the sound from 2 of these together is incredible.
1. Open JBL connect app
2. Turn one the first speaker and let it connect to Bluetooth.
3. App will then discover the first speaker.
4. Then turn on 2nd speaker and let it connect to Bluetooth.
5. Select "JBL connect" on app and then push the connect buttons on both speakers simultaneously.
6. Once both speakers since they will appear in the app as L and R speakers.
7. Open your music streaming app once both speakers are synced and showing in the app screen.
ENJOY THE TUNES.!!! Awesome sound with 2 of them together.
NOTE: This is IPhone 6. I dont know about other phones or operating systems.
