JBL Flip 6 Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker Pro Sound, Upto 12 Hours Playtime, IP67 Water & Dustproof, PartyBoost & Personalization App (Without…

At first, you may think this is overpriced for a Bluetooth speaker, and trust me, I thought of it in the same way. But once I had a chance to use it, everything changed. The sound is clear with no distortion, even at higher volumes, and the bass is heavy; you wouldn’t expect anything like that from a Bluetooth speaker. One downside is that it doesn’t have an aux input and it is a mono speaker, but it makes sense that it has 2 bass radiators on the sides. It can even be used outdoors.

This pity small thing.

Has power in it. I did not expect such quality. I had a flip 3 which i lost. Comparatively, it is way louder, clear and feels way more rugged than older gen.

The app is really easy to use. The bass is on point as per the price. Feels premium. Does not last long in terms of battery if played at loud volumes. Like 1-2 hours max. But gives like 5-6 hours if played in range of 40-60 percent volume. I don’t know how they are claiming 12 hours. Might be if played on 2 percent volume who knows.

But the speaker has got some kick to it.

Connectivity is pretty strong. Charging speed is also decent. I believe it is a good purchase in this price point around 6-7k for a portable speaker.

Wanted to upgrade a stereo pair of little Sony SRS-XB10’s that have been working faultlessly in my conservatory for two years. Straight out of their boxes, (having paired only the left Flip with my phone & using party boost to link them)) they sounded amazing, with plenty of tight, dynamic bass, although the treble was a bit harsh, but the party boost only seemed to produce a mono effect, so I installed the JBL Portable app to get stereo. This terrible app is very basic & could not find the speakers if they were already switched on. After some experimentation, I discovered a solution. 1. Make sure both speakers are off & your phone’s bluetooth is on. 2. Launch the JBL app. 3 Switch on left speaker, (it pairs in a couple of seconds) & press party boost. 4. Switch on right speaker. JBL app should see both speakers. 5. Press party boost when instructed in the app & set stereo in app. Play music to confirm stereo. Close app. From now on you don’t need the app. Now, when switching on, make sure phone’s bluetooth is on, switch on left speaker, press party boost, switch on right speaker, press party boost & Hey Presto Stereo! Bit of a long-winded description, but hope it’s useful. You don’t need the app if you only want mono, Just switch on left speaker, press party boost & repeat on right speaker.
OK, I’m not claiming they’re hi-fi as such, but they’re certainly fun to listen to & draw you into the music, whatever the genre. I have to say I agree with the What Hi-Fi review. The harsh treble is now smoother after a few days use.
Amazing how good a stereo pair can sound.
So far, I have charged them once, using wall chargers rated at 1amp, (they took around two & a half hours) & they are showing about three quarters full after seven or eight hours use at half volume.
I haven’t used them outside yet, tried video sync or chucked them in a bowl of water!
UPDATE 16th June 2021: Charging time is just under 2 hours & batteries last around 15 to 16 hours at 25 to 50% volume. The left runs out before the right as it transmits the signal to the right. I use them about 10 feet apart indoors & they also sound excellent on the patio about 15 feet apart. Still very happy with them.
2nd UPDATE 10th September 2021: Still very happy, enjoying them even more. Discovered after a lot of listening that they sound even better placed as far apart as possible, (but not in the corners) facing straight, (not toed in) & lying flat. Batteries seem to average out around 8 to 10 hours at 50% volume. Harsh treble now much smoother.

The JBL Flip 6 is a popular portable Bluetooth speaker and is known for its powerful sound, impressive bass for its size and rugged waterproof design.

Here’s a summary of the key features and strengths:

Deze speaker hielt bij mij na 9 maanden ineens op met werken. Ik heb de speaker niet intensief gebruikt, en altijd goed verzorgd. Geen goede kwaliteit, dus niet kopen.

I own JBL charge 5, go 4, bose soundlink flex2.
But this speaker blew my mind. I am in love with its small size and the sheer amount of bass it produces despite its size.
In some cases i found the bass to be more thumping and focused than charge 5. My charge 5 always needs to be placed near wall or at corners to hear good bass.
But with the flip6 i can hear it from any direction even while holding in hand.
Don’t know why it’s the case.. but flip 6 won my heart and is now my go to go speaker.
Also if you have a ps5, you can use this as a soundbar with your tv, it works great and is decent while playing games as a portable solution on the go.
