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.
