JBL Flip 6 Portable Bluetooth Speaker with 2-Way Speaker System and Powerful JBL Original Pro Sound, Up to 12 Hours of Playtime, Teal

I've been on a long search for the perfect portable speaker, one that balances power with portability, and I can confidently say the JBL Flip 6 is it. This isn't just an incremental update; it's a refinement of an already brilliant formula, and the results are phenomenal.Let's talk about the most important thing: the sound quality. It is genuinely staggering for a speaker of this size. The key is the new 2-way speaker system, with a separate tweeter for crisp, clear highs and a dedicated "racetrack" driver for the mids and lows. This means vocals and instruments are incredibly detailed and never get muddied, even at high volumes. And the bass! The signature dual passive radiators on the ends deliver a punchy, tight, and surprisingly deep bass that you can both hear and feel. It's powerful without ever becoming boomy or distorted, which is a flaw many small speakers have. In terms of volume, it can easily fill a large living room or provide the perfect soundtrack for a garden BBQ without breaking a sweat.The design and portability are flawless. It's a robust, compact cylinder that feels great in the hand and fits easily into a backpack side pocket. The attached carry strap is a simple but genius touch. The IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating gives you total confidence to take it to the beach, the park, or just use it in the bathroom without a single worry.Functionally, it's a dream. The up to 12 hours of playtime is accurate for normal listening volumes, getting me through a full day of use easily. The move to USB-C charging is a massive quality-of-life improvement, meaning I can use the same cable as my phone and other devices. The app, is refreshingly simple. Its main purpose is to let you tweak the sound with a basic but effective EQ. I gave the bass a tiny nudge up, and it was perfect. There's no unnecessary bloat; it's easy to use and does its job.Honestly, I can't find a single significant fault. It's the complete package: stunning audio, extended battery life, multiple connectivity options, rugged design, modern features, and ultimate portability. An absolute five-star product that continues to set the standard.

It came a handful of hours before expected, the box was well protected (multiple layers) and the speaker is wonderful as it is even better than I expected :) I will definitely consider buying another for stereo pairing. The box is really nice as well. I would say that it was a bargain for £79! I haven’t encountered any distortion yet but I also haven’t used it higher than 50%. It is fully functional and the “JBL Portable” app really adds a lot of customization. It paired immediately with my phone (iOS) and I haven’t encountered any issues with connectivity. It is easy and fun to use and the battery life is better than stated (around 16 hours at 25-30% volume). I love it and I would definitely recommend it for somebody looking for a portable speaker. It is hefty when you first pick it up but after a few hours it feels lighter (I have no clue why this is).Overall, I would definitely recommend it (sorry for no photos or videos, but it is loud and incredible for its size and price) 👍

As you would expect from JBL the look, style and quality of this product is exceptional. Portable, long charge, fast charging. Neat and projects superb sound quality. Great gift for anyone

The JBL Flip 6 has completely exceeded my expectations. For its price, this speaker is an absolute gem and delivers fantastic performance in every way.The sound quality is simply amazing. It offers a clear and balanced audio profile that works beautifully for a wide range of genres. Whether I’m listening to upbeat pop, bass-heavy EDM, or soothing acoustics, the sound remains crisp and immersive.What really stands out is the bass. It’s punchy and powerful, adding a vibrant energy to every track. Unlike some other portable speakers, the bass doesn’t distort even at higher volumes, which is a huge plus. You can really feel the richness of the low-end without it overwhelming the mids and highs.The design is also worth mentioning. It’s compact, durable, and has a rugged feel that’s perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. Plus, it’s waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about accidental spills or taking it to the poolside. The battery life is great, too—it lasts long enough for hours of uninterrupted playback.For anyone looking for a speaker that offers excellent sound quality, especially with rich, punchy bass, the JBL Flip 6 is a no-brainer. It’s an outstanding value for the price and one of the best portable speakers I’ve owned. Highly recommend!

I bought one of these to replace a JBL Flip 4 that had a dead battery. Unfortunately it had gone full "spicy pillow" and was jammed solid inside the casing and couldn't be replaced.The Flip 6 has been a great upgrade. The sound quality is excellent and it has much improved bass output. I was initially disappointed to learn that the Flip 6 is monophonic with its two drivers being for bass and treble, where the Flip 4 had two full range drivers and could output stereo. However, being only centimetres apart, there wasn't much of a stereo sound field. The Flip 6 giving up poor stereo for improved frequency range is a good thing.That said, I missed the stereo enough that I bought a second Flip 6 a couple of months later so that I could use JBL's stereo grouping function to set them up as left and right speakers. In this mode, they easily fill my living room with great sounding music. This function does require using the JBL mobile app to activate, and it has to be re-enabled every time the speakers are power cycled, which is a minor irritation.Judging by teardown videos of the Flip 6, the battery is a larger, more robust type and certainly seems to have a good run time between charges. Hopefully it'll be less susceptible to swelling up than the one in the Flip 4.
