BluePowerful JBL Pro Sound with AI Sound Boost
How do we make an already great speaker even better? It helps that we have some of the best engineers in the game retooling our kit to deliver our most realistic sound reproduction yet. We also added our new proprietary tech, AI Sound Boost, which analyzes your music in real-time to deliver maximum acoustic performance with less distortion. Surprisingly rich, powerful bass and crisp higher frequencies give the Charge 6 a whole new reason to humble brag.
Up to 28 hours of playtime
Keep the mood alive for 24 hours on a single charge - and when we really need to squeeze some extra juice out of our jubilee, or another dance with our darling, we can get an extra 4 hours with JBL Playtime Boost.
Multi-speaker connection by Auracast
Wouldn't it be great to share the vibes with our tribe? Now we can. With Auracast, we can effortlessly stereo pair two Charge 6 speakers for a wider sound stage and connect multiple Auracast-enabled JBL speakers to cover more ground with the same playlist.
Waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof
Have you ever dropped your speaker, had it roll down a dusty hill and land in a lake? Believe it or not, it happens. So, we built the JBL Charge 6 to be as life-proof as they come. On top of our legendary waterproof and dust-proof design (industry-leading IP681), we've also made sure that if you drop it from 1-meter onto a concrete floor, it'll keep kicking. But please, don't go throwing your speaker around just to flex on your friends. Throw parties instead.
Sturdy handle strap
Now we can carry our sound our way with a handy removable handle strap - for those of us who love to make it from the car to the house in one trip no matter the cost.
Fast charge
No need for the low battery blues when you can give your Charge 6 a quick boost! 10 minutes on the charger gets you up to 150 minutes of playtime.
Built-in powerbank
No need to put the party on pause. Our built-in powerbank lets you charge your mobile device2 while jamming out to your tunes.
Lossless Audio Playback
When music goes lossless it gets that much better. For the real audio aficionados, we've made lossless audio possible by plugging into your laptop or other audio device via our USB-C port3. But, of course, in order for it to work, you need a compatible lossless audio source4.
JBL Portable app
It's an app. We've all used them, and they can come in real handy. The JBL Portable app gives you access to support, updates, and customizable audio controls - so you can get just the right sound to suit your mood at any moment.
Recycled plastic and fabric, plus FSC certified paper packaging
The JBL Charge 6 incorporates post-consumer recycled plastic and fabric for the speaker grille. It's also packaged in FSC-certified paper printed with soy ink.

Like that newest season of our favorite show, the JBL Charge is back and better than ever. The Charge 6 is everything we've come to love with new twists, higher stakes, and a bigger punch. With sound that slaps like never before, better connectivity, sturdier build, and up to 28 hours of playtime, the Charge 6 is a portable audio beast. How do we pack more sound in the same iconic portable speaker package? With some redesigned hardware and our brand new JBL AI Sound Boost - a clever audio processing algorithm we've included under the hood. The end result? The Charge 6 hits way above it's weight class, filling our space with full, rich, immersive sound - without taking more space on our table. The Charge 6 is also one of the toughest portable speakers out there. It's waterproof, dustproof and drop-proof so it takes a beating without missing a beat. And, true to its name, the Charge 6 still includes a built-in powerbank to charge your mobile device while you continue to jam out to your tunes. What could be better than a new JBL Charge 6 in our lives? How about two? or four? Now we can effortlessly connect with other Auracast-enabled JBL speakers to cover more ground (and more ears) with the same playlist, whether we're throwing the most sensational rooftop soiree or getting the crowd hyped before the ultimate pickle ball tourney. This is THE JBL Charge 6. Portable audio like we've never heard it before.
We turn it up our way—anywhere. The all-new JBL Boombox 4 is bigger, bolder, and better than ever, with powerful JBL Pro Sound that stays loud and clear, with deep thumping bass. AI Sound Boost analyzes our music in real time and adjusts the sound to give us more power with less distortion, even when we turn it all the way up. It packs two bigger woofers, two tweeters and three passive radiators, so every track hits harder and sounds cleaner. When we want to fine-tune the vibe, we just switch between deep or vibrant punchy Bass Boost settings to match our mood. We gave the classic Boombox design a fresh upgrade—it’s larger but lighter, so we can take it wherever the party goes: the beach, the block, or the backyard. It’s IP68 waterproof and dustproof, so weather’s never a dealbreaker. And, with up to 34 hours of playtime (thanks, Playtime Boost), we’re set for the long haul. With the JBL Boombox 4, we carry the mood and the energy, everywhere we go.
Play and charge endlessly. Take the party with you no matter what the weather. The JBL Charge 5 speaker delivers bold JBL Original Pro Sound, with its optimized long excursion driver, separate tweeter and dual pumping JBL bass radiators. Up to 20 hours of playtime and a handy powerbank to keep your devices charged to keep the party going all night. Rain? Spilled drinks? Beach sand? The IP67 waterproof and dustproof Charge 5 survives whatever comes its way. Thanks to PartyBoost, you can connect multiple JBL PartyBoost-enabled speakers for a sound big enough for any crowd. With all-new colors inspired by the latest street fashion trends, it looks as great as it sounds.
The JBL PartyBox Club 120 turns any space to party, and vibe. Powerful JBL Pro Sound fills the air while an entrancing lightshow of starry lights, cool light trails, and strobe effects syncs to your beat. Instantly pair any Bluetooth device and stream your favorite party playlist, or use the mic and guitar inputs to share your own sound. Either way, you can steer the party's flow with fun interactive party effects using the JBL PartyBox app. A folding ergonomic handle makes the PartyBox Club 120 easy to take with you anywhere, and the splash-proof construction means it won't be troubled by a little rain. It delivers up to 12 hours of playtime—and if the party's still flowing by then, just swap out the replaceable battery and keep the music and lights going strong. For an even bigger time, stereo pair two JBL PartyBox Club 120s for a wider soundstage, or use the JBL PartyBox app to connect multiple JBL Auracast-enabled speakers wirelessly. Roll up to the party with the JBL PartyBox Club 120.
