A:AnswerThere is no need to charge the CLIP 2 off the box. Our units that has a battery comes with a factory charge that allows you to use it as soon as you unbox it. Once the battery is drained, it will take 2 hours at 0.5 Ampere for a full recharge.
A:AnswerAn average Lithium-ion battery would survive around 500~1,500 charging cycles. Now, according to techs out there who've tested it, it is not ideal to use it from 100-0 in one go, this would degrade the battery's life span badly.
There is no harm in keeping the speaker plugged in, what is harmful, is heat. Keeping it plugged in while using it might cause the battery to heat up to such degree that it would also degrade your battery.
With these things in mind, what we can advise is - it is okay to leave it plugged in, the charger and the batteries right now are smarter than we think, there is no such thing now as "overcharging". But since heat is something we would like to avoid, unplug it when you use it and charge the speaker a little every time you have a chance to. Lithium-ions takes charge better when done on small frequent charges than going from 0-100. And last note, NEVER flat your battery out.
A:AnswerUsing an aux cord will automatically switch the usage of Bluetooth power to receiving the signal via aux instead. This should help save battery life. The main differences between the Clip 2 and Clip 3 are the longer battery life of the Clip 3 and that the Clip 3 does not have a built in aux cord. You would need to connect a separate aux cord to the Clip 3 if you wish to hook it up with a wired connection.

A:AnswerIf you can pair it to ur tv, that may work. I know that when it is in the bathroom connected to one of the devices u can hear it through out the house. And it is not even turned all the way up.
My husband also needs things turned up and this has come in very handy.
A:Answeryou can use the speaker and it sounds clear, just keep in mind for privacy because its on speaker all the time :-) Haven't tried it on FaceTime.
A:AnswerNo you will not be able to hear it at the end of a soccer field. And if it was a little distance away you would not hear it over the noise from a crowd.
A:AnswerYep. I love it. The sound is pretty loud and full for a small speaker. However, your question is subjective. Some people are okay with a single good Bluetooth speaker, others want big room filling stereo speakers. If you want the former your fine. If you want the latter spend more and get a bigger Bose stereo or something comparable.
A:AnswerFlip has a touch more low end! That's what I was leaning towards, but compact & rugged fit my bill better. Flip has a exposed speaker end, prolly wouldn't throw it in & out of backpack without a case for it. Flip has better low end but it's bigger like a can of pop. Both are excellent, if your not traveling with it, go for flip, if ur on the go with it, you can't beat the compact rugged clip. It still bumps too!
