JBL Flip 6: The BEST Bluetooth Speaker? 

I have a flip 3, bought 4.5 years back and still going good :) love the new 6!

I just ordered the flip 6 from amazon, i had a clip 4 and it was good for its size but i sold it to a needed person. I wanted something a little louder for my travels. I ride my bike a lot and need my tunes with me. Im also a DJ, so im always listening to my tunes on the go. I will be rocking the grey for the modern look i like. It will be a few days but i cant wait to rock out. I appreciate your review which helped with my decision. I have EQ in my music app and that is the sweet spot for all music on the go. Thank you much.

We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning ru-vid.comUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.

I love my Flip 6. The sounds great, light weight.

Great review. Well explained. Thanks.

I got Flip 6 for $98 after tax on sales this past week. It makes me realize that I have never listened to music properly before...

i have two flip 5 white and black color pretty satisfied by its usage and longevity of playing time

I have a flip5 and a charge 5 , I would recommend them both because they sound awesome and you can partyboost them together. I would buy a charge 5 for only like 15 dollars more than a flip6 , the charge is louder has more bass and a bigger battery

I have the JBL Flip 4 and decided not to purchase the Flip 5 but felt extremely excited that the Flip 6 could be my next upgrade! One key attribute the JBL Flip 4 has is its ability to produce sound not heard at levels from any other speaker its size! The pure clarity and depth were unmatched. Im pumped to hear the JBL Flip 6! I work with speakers for fun, fixing, installing and sometimes reselling them on the internet: In my opinion, the anatomy of the JBL Flip 6 gives this speaker a reason to upgrade- single handedly! With the new driver working in combination with the single tweeter this speaker will offer a sound with true chest resonating bass and crisp highs, think of it like the Flip Version of the JBL Xtreme ahaha. The one slight dilema when deciding to whether or not to upgrade from the JBL Flip 4 to the Flip 6 is the top factor: "How much louder is it?" We all know thats probably the first question we ask. If youre going to spend money for a small speaker, you would expect it to be louder right? Well I think JBL physically cant get much louder, speakers this size already do a good job getting loud and reproducing sound with ridiculous depth and clairty. From now on, Speaker upgrades will be made mostly internally and based on sound depth rather than loudness. At the same time, wtf $129 is a definite kick in the nuts, and with lots of people owning Flip 4's they arent worth much on the internet for resale. Depening on your outlook, you may be having a difficult time making a decision whether or not to upgrade. The reason I will be preordering this speaker comes down to these two resons: 1. It is the future for all JBL Speakers. 2. Its better than the JBL Flip 4 is just about every aspect anyways. I just graduated college and I cannot explain how freaking awesome it was to hangout and party with people that also had the same speaker as I do. Pairing up speakers with your friends is honeslty a life changing feeling, basically sex for anyone wondering! With everything moving from Connect+ to Partyboost it is reassuring to know that his speaker will be extremely versatile and will have you connecting with all JBL speakers for years to come. Also, just think about it, better bluetooth, better battery, fully waterproof, and it looks sexy! Its like buying the new iPhone after selling the same model of phone for four years! I cannot wait to hear this bad boy in person and move into the newschool JBL gang! I hope this helps you find some transparency with my decision making and aid in making yours! -Thomalama

Great video and content. Thank you!

Love watching you, Louie!❤

Beautiful review ❤️

Thanks for the review man I am going to buy this one and came to have a watch reviews

Great review!!! Thanks

I just bought one... incredible sound for such a compact device!

This speaker it's same to the flip 3 design am impressed small but powerful bold sound!

I have just unboxed my flip 6 and I love it already

I honestly enjoyed this review most detailed real world review so far I just wish the real world battery life was tested. And another thing I found by surprise is durability test no one really does that anymore JBL should go back to using harder rubber and plastic "Looks mean nothing if it can't take damage"

I had the flip 5 starting out since I kept it in such good shape while I owned it, I sold it to a friend for I think $100 and at the time it was selling for $149 and I went ahead and got the flip 6 and I'm extremely happy with it I'm also glad that my friend will let me use the flip five whenever I want, even though I have the six and I love it I know everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I love the flip 6 and I think it was worth every US dollar that I spent on it TBH

Hello guys, thanks for the great review. I am deciding between the Bose SoundLink mini 2 SE, Bose SoundLink Flex, or JBL Flip 6. Wich one would you recommend? Thanks from Hamburg Germany

EQ availability is nice. I like the larger sound of the Charge 5 and can guess JBL will implement EQ in a Charge 6. I'm waiting.

This is one of the best speakers on the market.

I own a JBL GO 2 and just bought the flip 6. I was already pretty impressed with the sound of GO 2 given it's size so I'm definitely looking forward to hearing the flip 6!

Thank you That is what I wanted to see Thank you

just ordered it.tomorrow it’s arriving.can’t wait✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

Excelente vídeo 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I really love the sound of this speaker. With EQ adjustments it sounds much better than the Charge 5 or Marshall Emberton. I was shocked how bad the Charge sounds at lower volumes compared to the flip! Would love to see it in action against the Bose Flex (no reviews available at the moment)

amazing review

I've the JBL Xtreme and while it was 'boomy' (aggressive bass) when I first got it it settled in after many hours of play. I'm interested in your comments as to whether you've noticed this with Bluetooth speakers. I know audiophiles talk about it being true for high-end speakers.

Lol I got this from Walmart and they weren’t aware of the fact that it was the 6 and kept the same price tag as the flip 5 so I got a 30 dollar discount 😁

I just got the jbl flip 6 but it’s coming from Amazon so I have to try it out and see how it work’s already 🎉

I’m tempted and ordered one

Flip 6 vs Sonos Roam. Let’s go!

Love my flip 5!

I own both flip 5 and flip 6 both are great speakers

I have a flip6 recently bought it...kick ass sound....lv the kick-ass bass ...I recommend it....

Great video

Worth every penny. Buy it!

Speaker is great, better then flip 5

i was gonna get a charge 4 since i have $25 and grtting $100 from my dad on christmas, prob gonna earn more or get more on christmas and i like bass more and i have a ton of speakers which means if i ever break my speaker accidentally i can solder my otger speakers

Got the Flip 6 for a month now. I can say that compared to the Marshall Emberton the sound is way better. I was a big fan of the Bose Soundlink Mini 1, which IMO has the best sound period. People say there's too much bass but I disagree. Anyway, the Flip 6 used as a single speaker could match my Bose (although I had to get used to less bass or rather used the JBL app's equalizer to turn up the bass). What really convinced me, though, was using two JBL Flip 6 in PartyBoost Stereo Mode. Best sound experience from a small bluetooth speaker ever! BUT (!) why the F**k is it not possible to pair two JBL Flip 6 in PartyBoost Mode when connected to a laptop ??? What the f**k!? I was looking forward to watch netflix in Stereo Mode but only now that I got two Flip 6 I realized that PartyBoost only works when connected to a smartphone. Good job on f*ck*ng up a really cool speaker and make it kinda shit, JBL, congrats.

Can this speaker be connected via cable with a TV for example, or is bluetooth only way of connecting it?

so is charge 4 better or flip 6 since they have the same pricing

Thx!!! ☺️

What is your opinion regarding sound quality between Flip 6 and Denon new envaya?

Just ordered the Flip 6 and it's coming Wednesday! I can't wait to use it 😁

i use 2 jbl fip 5s as my studio monitors, the tweeters is so hype, but i hope now for a charge 6 that goes full stereo 2 speakers aand a middle tweeter maybe or 2 outer tweeters, the charge always was known as midrangey and this has to be the era where the really make the charge the absolute goat, 2 speakers 2 tweeters that needs to be the charge, and itd be the best studio monitor speaker

Wanted to check out the new flip 6 since I been using the flip 4 for quite a while was hoping they would have brought back the aux cable option or the built in microphone but sadly not. I'm not such a big fan of the large jbl logo on the new one either. Still this is a great review and basically showed everything I was curious about!

Best speaker I got for my money, got it for $75 new, absolutely love it, would recommend

Thanks Jimmy

Had no idea there was an app for the grey flip 6 thanks so much!!

I’m going to buy it!

I live in an apartment and even with the volume on 2 it was too bassey... the app didnt really turn much up or down as the sub bass is just there all the time.. I found the sound a little muffled but it is amazing also if you dont care so much abour details..., especially if you were using it louder or outside..... but as I said, I am returning it for a less bassey one because my neighbours will hear this one :) and I wont be able to use it without stressing about that

What about the effect for watching movies? Can you please compare Flip 6 with Tribit stormbox which one has more bass effect for watching movies?

Still maintaining my Tribit Maxsound Plus

Those were some good songs for the test 😁

I am waiting for the boombox 3 and maybe even the Extreme 4...

Can you please review the bang & olufsen beosound explore. Seems like a very well built speaker but just not sure on the sound quality

Need to upgrade from my flip 4

I just bought the flip6 and it’s my first jbl product ever. Love the sound and the volume but the battery drowns too quickly for me. I will listen at a lower volume in general but I love it.

So because it has no microphone, if I am playing music on my phone through the speaker, and somebody rings my phone, will I know if a call is coming through if I'm not looking at my phone? Thanks!

Love my flip 6 battery life is amaising i plahed it over 20 hours😊

Can you compare it with Huawei Sound Joy, Bluetooth 5.2, Onehop Sharing, Devialet sound tuning, 8800 mAh, USB C, Spruce Green ?

I would not rate the JBL Charge, Flip, or Extreme models standing vertically, due to the end mounted bass ports.

Found a Flip 5 that just needed the charge port changed.... long story short I tried doing it myself but didn't work lol.... So been wanting one of these every since one had a altec lansing one much smaller and that lil thing sounded really good hate I sold it... but yeah just ordered one of these today that I plan to use mostly at work when I'm Painting Rooms etc as I like wearing headphones but have a hard time hearing of they call me on the radio so this will be perfect cause I watch lots of videos and movies vs music with the speaker 🔊 will make watching movies while Painting a room much better and perfect for music in my apartment... depending how much I like it I'll definitely get the Charge 5 or Xtreme3 next

I'm in the process of choosing between The UE Megaboom and the JBL Flip. The lack of omnidirectional sound and the ability to suspend the Charge from objects was a deal breaker. My end use is to have two playing in Party mode at a campground of roughly one hundred feet. They will either be suspended by tree branches or Shepherds hooks. Coverage of the space is critical and I end up getting a third speaker to really surround the encampment. Currently I've been using the original Wonder-boom and they fall short on loudness and Bluetooth range. The Wonderbooms literally cut out when someone crosses their path. I also hypothesize that there is a lot of radio interference when we are camped at public events. I hope the newer Bluetooth standard will help mitigate these issues.

So I’m opening up a small meditation studio/20 people and I asked a couple other electronic/speaker influencers on here and they said to buy 4 JBL Flip 6’s for best surround sound.. 🤔 I would greatly I appreciate your advice and feedback on which speakers would be the best for this! 🙏💕 Thank you!!!

Can we connect the app to a go 2?

Good ❤

I won a flip 6 in a raffle at work. Sounds great!

the charge 5 works with the app i have used it since i got it

Does it pair with the JBL BOOMBOX 2?

Hi. How can i connect karaoke microphone to my jbl flip 6 is there any options please let me know. Thank

It has the perfect Size for a Outdoor BT Speaker.

Can you play your phone through the USB-C cable? Put it in another way, does it have DAC? Great review!

My dream speaker...

i need a detail connection of party boost using up to 4 jbl speakers to connect stereo

Can I use the EQ app on Dell Laptop?

I bought the flip 6 played one bass song and now it rattles the bass and clearness of it is good but it’s not worth your money when you could get something like a sound core rave bro for cheaper and more

Just got one of these at a pawn shop for $65.00 in original box with original charger in like New condition !

Is the app available for windows 11 PC?

It can connect to jbl flip 5?

Unfortunately this review didn't answer either of my questions. Can you connect two into a stereo pair? Do you have to turn them on at the unit before they will work or does connecting from your device turn them on?

I have a fire tv. When i try to connect to tv audio, the flip 6 works on amazoin and nexflix, but wont transfer when the over the air channels are used.

Had this problem with the flip 4 and just got the flip 6. What's with that damn hissing sound can it be turned off?

I'm confused Between JBL Flip 6 and charge 5 ! Can you suggest, budget is not the issue, which one is the best ?

I am so tempted to buy the Flip 6, but still waiting for to be release in the Philippines. Though does the circumference fit well in a water bottle holder? I will be using that speakers on my bicycle

Does any other speaker on the market this size sound better?

Plz compare it with klipsch heritage groove

Does anyone know if this has a next track / previous track physical button? Would be awesome in the shower or at a party when you can’t be bothered reaching for your phone. Thanks!

Flip 6 or Charge Essential 2, what to buy?

I'm still using the flip 3... but the battery don't last long anymore... so, should i up grade to flip 5 or flip 6? Flip 5 is much cheaper now cause of the flip 6 on the market... which is the best between this two?

I recently bought this speaker. Looks nice. Sounds good. But no 3,5mm contact. WHY WHY WHY NOT??? Even Clip3 has it. Taking in consider the risk with bluetooth, connecting the speaker with cable to the smartphone is very appreciated when you are within range of other unknown people.

The minimum volume is still too high and if i go further down it just drops to zero. Feels like it goes from 10% of volume to 0% in just one click. How can i solve this and get more intermediate controls, like 5% or 2 % volume? Thank you

Yes .

Coming from a flip 4 to the 6, It's ho estly a worthy upgrade. The flip 4 just simply sounds like a smaller speaker compared to the flip 6. It's even a upgrade from the 5.

Thanks for your Test, but no Aux is not good , for me thats a great addition like the flip 4 . its not a Jbl smartphone, so not sure what’s thats about? Having a cable lets me connect to a tv. Much better sound than blue teeth… 10:23 is the message on your hand important : )

I'll stick with the flip 5 it sounds good to me. By the way, I found that if you update the speaker in the app it sounds terrible. So I had to get a new one and forget the app, but maybe that's just me.

Can the flip 6 and the charge 5 be paired with party boost?

How does it sound when connected with TV?
