Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased my first JBL Flip 6 (in blue) about a month ago from Best Buy, and I liked it so much that I got a second one! The portability is fantastic - I use them every morning in the shower, and the sound quality is impressive for such a compact speaker. The battery life has been excellent too, easily lasting through my daily use without needing constant recharging. The best part? You can pair two of them together for a true stereo experience, which really enhances the sound. The bass is punchy, the highs are clear, and they get surprisingly loud without distortion. The waterproof feature gives me peace of mind using them in a steamy bathroom environment. After a month of daily use, I’m thoroughly impressed with the durability and consistent performance. If you’re considering a portable Bluetooth speaker, I highly recommend the JBL Flip 6 - and if you love it as much as I do, grab a second one for that stereo pairing!

I am a long time fan of JBl products and have owned a good majority of models ranging from the go ann the way to the boombox and their party line of speakers. I bought two charge 5 speakerson a steep discount when they released this model and wanted to see if the upgrade would fit the bill. Positives first, this soeaker is definitely louder than the charge 5. Low end sounds a bit fuller in the 60-80 hz range and the battery upgrade is a plus. I also enjoy the new handle as carrying a charge around like a football can get old fast. The addition of lossless audio via usb c is a nice touch but it’s difficult to appreaciate it in a small form speaker. Now on to the downsides. First off the price increase is hardly warranted over rhe chrage 5’s initial msrp. Yes you get 5 more watts and a loudness upgrade and a strap, but in my opinion its not enough for 25% more money than the charge 5. While the upgrades are nice, the loudness boost is soley in the mids and highs. This speaker can get downright piercing at high volumes and you lose most of your low end after you turn up the volume 60%. It sounds like a dream until you go to crank it up and then the buyers remorse hits home (especially if you own the last generation. The loudness is likely welcomed for outdoor use, but for an indoor audio guy like myself, this speaker really misses the mark out of the box. Thankfully JbL includes a great 7 band eq that will allow you to fix some of the issues but the low end performance is still an issue. Increasing the bass only gets you to the ceiling faster and it disappears at 60% no matter how much you fine tune your controls. This is likely due to heavy compression and it is very evident when listening to anything beat heavy. You get this constant pumping effect that only disappears when you drop the volume. I wanted to love this speaker and was excited about moving into the new line but I will stick with my charge 5’s for now. If you want a great alternative at the same price (it can be gound on sale more often than the jbl too) then check out the sony ULT Field 3. Better defined low end that doesnt dissapear once you start driving the speaker at high volumes. Sorry JBL but sadly this speaker went back mainly because I couldnt justify the high price over my capable charge 5’s nor the audible upgrade with the sony ULT Field 3 for the same price. Also a side note, the extreme 4 is miles ahead and can often be found for 50$ more and it is a MASSIVE upgrade over the charge 6.

The JBL Charge 5 delivers amazing sound with deep bass and crystal-clear audio. Battery life easily lasts all day, and the waterproof design makes it perfect for outdoors, work, or travel. It connects quickly, plays loud without distortion, and feels extremely durable. One of the best Bluetooth speakers I’ve owned.

I like the sound quality. I like the distance that I can take my speaker away from my tablet or phone. I like the battery life. I like the build quality and it's waterproof. I like that it's versatile and I can take it anywhere outside, inside. I listen to music, podcast, and audiobooks and it all sounds good. I don't like that I can't skip ahead to the next track by holding down the volume buttons

The JBL Charge 6 is an excellent portable speaker with powerful sound for its size. The bass is deep, the audio stays clear even at higher volumes, and the overall sound quality makes it great for music, movies, or outdoor use. JBL’s updated AI Sound Boost helps deliver louder, fuller sound without distortion, which really makes a difference compared to older portable speakers. () Battery life is another big highlight. It can last up to about 24 hours on a charge, and up to around 28 hours using Playtime Boost, so it easily runs all day without needing to recharge. () The build quality feels premium and durable. It’s waterproof, dustproof, and drop-resistant, making it perfect for the beach, pool, camping, or just everyday use. It also includes a built-in powerbank so you can charge your phone from the speaker if needed. () Overall, the Charge 6 is one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers available right now. If you want strong sound, long battery life, and a rugged design you can take anywhere, this speaker is definitely worth it.

The JBL speaker delivers impressive sound quality with deep bass and clear highs in a compact design. It’s durable, portable, and perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. Battery life is reliable, and Bluetooth connectivity is seamless, making it great value for music lovers.

This speaker works fantastically. It's got good water resistance and it can get very loud for how small it is. It's not super big so it's nice and portable, the sound quality is fantastic. I definitely recommend this speaker to anyone who likes to have music at pool parties, the beach, or even just propped up on a table at a house party.

I'd purchased a much more expensive portable speaker system only to have the company screw up its software. The company selling the expensive system with the screwed up software doesn't seem to understand the concept of portability. I took the speakers on vacation and attempted to hookup to the vacation home wifi only to come home and have to reconfigure my entire system including sound bar and sub. Moving furniture to get to equipment and then having to push and hold buttons to reset equipment is not my idea of a fun afternoon. So much for that! The expensive speakers do not have a bluetooth stereo pair option. I was looking for something to take on vacation and use regardless of the availability of wifi. I had purchased two JBL Flip 6 speakers and liked them and the ability to put them in Stereo mode, but I was looking for something a bit more powerful. The Charge 6 speakers are a nice power boost from the Flip series. For me the downside to the Flip 6 was in order to play in Stereo I had to always use the JBL app to always 1st setup stereo mode and then use my phone as the streaming source. The new streaming software that JBL uses (Auracast) allows for setting two Charge 6 speakers in permanent stereo mode. I can then stream to them using the latest Echo Dot device, without having to use the JBL software to establish the stereo functionality and it frees up my phone for other uses.

Great speaker, big enough to put out powerful sound and small enough to travel with me everywhere. It is perfect for my needs and the battery lasts a long time. I always wanted, and was looking for, a more powerful speaker with good sound quality and I found it. No need to look anymore

This speaker is amazing for its size. The sound is loud, clear, and has strong bass. I use it at home and outdoors and it performs great in both situations. The battery lasts a long time, which is perfect for trips or long days out. It also feels very durable and well built. Definitely worth it if you’re looking for a portable speaker with great performance.

I love the sound, quality and portability and battery life I literally take this speaker with me to every vacation I take. It’s just so convenient and awesome I can’t say enough good things about it.

This red JBL speaker is an absolute powerhouse! Not only does it look sleek and eye-catching, but the sound quality is incredible—crisp highs, rich mids, and tons of deep, punchy bass that you can really feel. The battery lasts for hours, making it perfect for BBQs, get-togethers, or even just powering your desktop setup. It’s super portable, easy to connect, and built to keep the music going wherever you are. If you want big sound in a compact, stylish package, this speaker definitely delivers.

The speaker itself is great. The sound and the battery life is amazing. There is just one complaint:no charging cable. I bought it as a gift for my mom who is not “modernized” with tech, so no, she didn’t already have a compatible cable. We had to order one, which isn’t that big of a deal, but it feels like something that should definitely be included considering the price tag.

Excellent sound quality with deep bass and clear audio. The battery lasts a long time, and the portable design makes it perfect for travel, outdoor activities, or parties.

We bought it for my father in law he love how much of a punch it packs, it lasts all day for him and is easy to haul around

Does everything you need, sounds great and is rugged!! Charge last a LONG time and you can even charge other device!!

In my opinion, one of the better sounding JBL speakers. Just the right size. Gets loud and battery will last for a long time.

This speaker produces a great amount of volume, it is very portable and holds a charge for a long time.
