The JBL Flip 6 delivers powerful JBL Original Pro Sound with a 2-way speaker system IP67 waterproofing and 12 hours playtime.
OVERVIEW
The JBL Flip series has been the goāto portable speaker for years, and the FlipāÆ6 shows exactly why. JBL finally moved to a true 2āway speaker system, using a racetrackāshaped woofer for the lows and a separate tweeter for the highs, and the difference is immediately noticeable. Vocals are clearer, instruments have more separation, and the overall sound is louder and more dynamic than the FlipāÆ5. The IP67 rating means it is completely dustproof and waterproof, so beach, pool, or monsoon rains are not a problem. PartyBoost is JBLās answer to multiāspeaker linking, letting you connect multiple compatible JBL speakers for stereo sound or an allāout party mode where every speaker plays the same audio. Battery life is 12āÆhours, and USBāC charging is a welcome upgrade. The fabric covering feels durable, and the available colour options are punchy. It is not the most featureāpacked speaker, but everything it does it does well, and the sound quality for the price is hard to fault.
