After testing the JBL Flip 6 for many weeks, I have my review now and I gotta say this little guy rocks!
One of the things I really like of JBL speakers are their designs. It's like JBL got an identity with these designs and I gotta admit it just looks great, but ofc you don't buy a speaker to see it with your eyes, so let's talk about sound. This is one of the best sounding portable speakers I tried. Out of the box, I felt like it needed more bass (some of the songs I played did have deeper lows which the Flip 6 was not able to play until I boosted bass), fortunately JBL provides an EQ on its app which is really easy to use and works as expected. After changing some bands, this little guy began to sound great. It has pretty good bass, good mids and great highs too. Definition and sparkle is not missing here so no matter what you play, it's going to sound great. Another thing I liked about its sound is it's output power which for its size is amazing. Coming from a Flip 4, difference is day and night in terms of sound and output power. Not only the Flip 6 sounds better but also it's much more powerful than the Flip 4. This is one of those rare cases where I just turn on the speaker and listen to my music without any worry or issue about it. Compared with the XB33, I always had to open the EQ and keep changing stuff because it wasn't consistent at all. In some songs it sounded good but in some others it was terrible but with the Flip 6, I didn't ran into that issue.
Talking about battery, it was pretty good too. I managed to achieve about 9-11h of battery and charging speeds are also pretty fast too. It uses USB-C for charging and that's a nice upgrade (Flip 4 used microUSB). Even though we lost hands-free capabilities and the 3.5mm jack, I didn't ran into the situation where I missed those things. Fortunately, I didn't. Now let's talk about price, is it worth it? If you manage to get it for 100$ or below I would say yes, absolutely. I got it for 97$ and I'm loving this thing. I absolutely recommend it!
