JBL Flip 6 review

 

JBL continues an inspired run of form with the talented Flip 6

Improved clarity and sonic precision ; Punchy bass for size ; Useful equaliser feature

More critical of recording and source quality ; Tough competition from excellent JBL Charge 5

The latest generation of JBL’s Flip continues to set the standard for the price

JBL Flip 6 review

 

JBL keeps it simple with another excellent Bluetooth speaker

Well-balanced, bassy sound ; Simple to use ; Rugged design

No charging port for your phone ; No voice assistant ; Can only be stereo paired with other Flip 6 speakers

The JBL Flip 6 is a simple Bluetooth speaker that’ll make your music sound great wherever you go. Its rugged and robust design makes it easily portable, while dual bass radiators mean the low frequencies sound powerful without becoming bloated. Sure, a...

JBL Flip 6 review: the best JBL Bluetooth speaker for most people

 

The JBL Flip 6 is reasonably priced and it can be used just about anywhere

Great sound ; Waterproof and dustproof ; Manual EQ settings in the app

Average battery life ; Lacks speakerphone function ; No 3.5mm audio input

Small and stylish with great sound is how I'd describe the JBL Flip 6. It's a speaker that is properly portable because it's small enough to chuck in your bag with the rest of your stuff. Everything about it is fantastic, except the battery life which...

A year later and the JBL Flip 6 still packs the perfect portable punch

 

The JBL Flip 6 thinks harder about sound rather than turning to smarter features, and it makes for an ideal everyday speaker.

Powerful sound for size ; Clean, clear midrange ; Rugged design ; Adjustable EQ

Slightly harsh treble at volume ; Battery life could be better

The JBL Flip 6 offers a great rugged design and a punchy, powerful performance. While not the most feature-packed speaker on the market, it delivers impressively bassy, clear, and room-filling sound in a compact, portable body.

JBL Flip 6 review: Great sound just got better

 

Now in its sixth generation, the JBL Flip 6 gets a more rugged design and some performance tweaks too.

Powerful sound for size ; Clean ; Clear midrange ; Rugged design ; Adjustable EQ

Slightly harsh treble at volume ; Battery life could be better

The JBL Flip 6 is a great example of what a portable speaker in this space should offer - great rugged design and a punchy, powerful performance. It's not the most feature-packed speaker you'll find, but it does pretty much everything you would want it...

JBL Flip 6 Review: Still Loud For Small Crowds | Digital Trends

 

The JBL Flip 6 carries on with a thick layer of bass, and plenty of volume in spite of its size, making it an ideal speaker to take with you wherever you go.

Solid build quality

Can't stereo pair with non-Flip 6 JBL speakers

“JBL keeps it in the family on the inside and outside with the Flip 6.”

JBL Flip 6 Review

 

Powerful audio performance with robust bass ; App features adjustable EQ ; Fully waterproof and dust-tight build

No speakerphone ; Lacks an aux input

It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but JBL's outdoor-friendly Flip 6 is another strong entry in its lineup of portable Bluetooth speakers.

This Bluetooth Speaker Costs Extra, But It's Worth It

 

JBL's latest Flip speaker offers improved sound with stronger bass and overall clarity.

Very good sound for its compact size with improved drivers ; Fully water- and dust-proof (IP67 rating) ; Decent battery life at 12 hours

A little pricey ; No speakerphone capabilities

JBL Flip 6 Review

 

The JBL Flip 6 is one of the most popular Bluetooth speakers on the market and with its mix of affordable pricing and room-filling sound, it's easy to understand why…

Solid construction, pleasing sound quality ; USB-C charging and has a charge level indicator on the speaker ; Water resistant ; Pleasingly portable design ; Support JBL's PartyBoost feature so you can link multiple speakers

Real-world battery life of only around 6 hours ; Not exceptionally loud ; Does not support voice assistants ; Does not have a microphone
