JBL Flip 6 Bluetooth Speaker

Wife bought for me as a gift, customized with my artwork. Great sound and the printing initially looked great. But the ink doesn't hold up. I've taken in out 5 or 6 times and the ink is fading and comes off if anything touches it.

I fell in love with this speaker right away! But after using it only twice i had a friend drop it in the mud one night after partying. We couldn’t find it so i figured maybe a drunk friend accidentally trashed it or something. It was December when we lost it. I found it in March, 3 months (4 rains and 2 snows) later, shoved into the mud because it had been ran over by a car and it still had half a charge and still sounded great! So far it seems nearly invincible!

I bought this Flip 6 around 3 months ago. I bought a bike mount for it, and use it everyday. I convinced 2 of my friends to get 1, and there are 4 people (somebody convinced me) in our group of approx 15 people that bike around jamming to Travis Scott. The speaker fell out of the mount once, landing hard on concrete, and after picking it up, it was perfectly fine. It also did this in the dirt, and was okay then, too. I am 14, and love to annoy people, so the volume max is great. Having 4 speakers playing CANT SAY at full volume, now we're talking. If looking for a semi-cheap speaker that's durable and has EXCELLENT SOUND QUALITY AND AMAZING BASS, then the Flip 6 is great.

Great sounding and right size Bluetooth speaker that is both handy & functional

It's good sound, nice bass. Recommend ....however, sometimes, not sure why, its struggling to connect and producing rough sound... :(

Good speaker haven't even used a third of the volume yet.

Love the volume and sound quality from this small speaker unit

Loud! Great bass and holds charge for a long time !

I Bought one for my store so we can listen to music while we work and I bring it everyday day fully charged and it lasts a good solid 2 hrs and then dies? How are you gonna claim it has 12 hrs but doesn’t even last half of what’s advertised, is mine defective?

i bought this speaker to take on holiday and it is so good i'm very impressed with the sound quality and ease of use.

Bought this last month and love it. Delivery was quick and communication with courier was top notch. Love the colour aswell. Flip 6 works great for me as I travel alot and can use the app to control the base, volume etc. Which is fantastic. It fits well in my hand luggage so I can take it anywhere I want.

Best audio you can get for the money! Simply, irrefutable :)

Great speaker for home and on the move. Attractive design and works for small spaces.

I bought month ago and I think jbl flip deserve to be number one on portable speakers. So small speaker can produce really loud and good bass sound. Only could be better battery life.

I bought this speaker to replace another one which would not charge. (Kitsound) After comparing other brands I decided on this one. Has a good sound. I attach it to my cycle when going to work. Some grills to protect the end speakers would be handy, when carrying in a bag.

The **JBL Flip 6** is a popular portable Bluetooth speaker that builds upon the success of the JBL Flip series, known for durability, water resistance, and high-quality sound. Here's a detailed review covering its key aspects: ### **Design & Build Quality:** The Flip 6 maintains JBL's signature cylindrical shape, with a compact and rugged design. It’s made with durable materials, including a strong fabric cover and rubberized ends, making it both stylish and resilient. The speaker is **IP67-rated**, which means it is dustproof and waterproof—ideal for outdoor use, whether at the beach, by the pool, or on hiking trips. It comes in several vibrant color options, offering some level of personalization. It's also lightweight and easy to carry, with a strap that enhances portability. ### **Sound Quality:** The Flip 6 offers impressive sound for its size. It features a **2-way speaker system** that delivers better clarity and more dynamic sound compared to its predecessor, the Flip 5. There is a **dedicated woofer** for deeper bass and a **separate tweeter** for higher frequencies, giving it more balanced audio. The bass is punchy, and the highs are crisp, but it still delivers clear mids. It’s powerful enough for small gatherings and outdoor use, with decent stereo separation, though it’s still a compact speaker, so you can’t expect massive soundstage or depth. At high volumes, the Flip 6 performs well with minimal distortion, making it ideal for both casual listening and louder environments. ### **Battery Life:** The JBL Flip 6 boasts a **12-hour battery life** on a full charge, which is decent but not groundbreaking in the portable speaker market. Charging takes about 2.5 hours via USB-C, which is faster compared to older models. ### **Connectivity:** The speaker uses **Bluetooth 5.1**, providing a strong and stable connection with minimal dropouts. It also supports JBL’s **PartyBoost** feature, allowing you to connect multiple JBL speakers for a more immersive sound experience. However, it does not support stereo pairing unless you connect it with another JBL PartyBoost-compatible speaker. It lacks a 3.5mm AUX input, so you can only use it via Bluetooth, which might be a downside for some. ### **Additional Features:** - **JBL Portable App:** The Flip 6 is compatible with JBL’s app, which allows for firmware updates and basic sound customization through an equalizer. - **Durability:** With its IP67 rating, the speaker can handle dust and water, making it a great companion for outdoor activities and travel. ### **Pros:** - Rugged, waterproof, and dustproof (IP67) - Improved sound quality with separate woofer and tweeter - Long battery life (12 hours) - Portable and lightweight design - Bluetooth 5.1 with PartyBoost feature ### **Cons:** - No AUX input - No built-in microphone for calls - Limited soundstage due to compact size - Average battery life compared to some competitors ### **Verdict:** The **JBL Flip 6** is a solid upgrade from the Flip 5, delivering enhanced sound quality in a durable, portable design. It's ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and casual listeners looking for a reliable speaker that performs well in various settings. While it may not have all the premium features of larger or more expensive models, it's an excellent choice for its size and price range, especially if ruggedness and portability are priorities.

Very happy with thos little speaker. Great bold sound and good battery life. I believe the apeaker will pair with other flip 6 speakers but would be a great feature if this could link to my partybox 310.

As usual JBL never disappoints. It's quite an upgrade from the flip 5...alot more clearer and more bass at louder volumes. Love my JBL flip 6 and use it for everything!!!

Excellent speaker great sound and my custom art turned out great!

Love this speaker, high quality sound! Second purchase!

Really enjoying my speakers. My friend had popped round for the evening with hers and before she left my home, I ordered one for myself! I was so impressed with it. I play it everyday.

It is the worst speaker I have ever owned. It is always getting interference while connected, making a cranky sound.

Bought this not even month ago used only couple times sound is broken

Fantastic speaker, I wanted it for a small tv soundbar and to take work with me and it does all of those with ease. The battery didn’t last 8 hours one day but has been mostly good for battery life. I give 4* instead of 5* only wish there was an AUX connection or secondary USB-C port so you can charge and have fed in audio at the same time as my tv isn’t Bluetooth compatible due to it being an older tv.

I got this a couple months ago. I love my Flip 6. I personalized it with purple roses and my name. The sound touches my soul. I don't understand why it took me so long to buy one.

The Flip 6 is good, small, inexpensive portable speaker. Sound enough to fill a room, easy to use, battery that lasts a full day or more. Do have to mention however that I had to replace my JBL Flip 5 because it wasn't as waterproof as it claimed, had it for 3 years, and was showing off how it was waterproof to others and it failed the test, so don't assume the waterproofing is as good as advertised. Still worth the money.

JBL has great sound ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Purchased for my Son - excellent purchase which has made all the easier for audio experience Good price compared to others in this category Very helpful service and did what they said they would. Very clear and precise Audio output and connection couldn't have been easier.

Battery life isn't as good as I expected . Last about 5 hours .
