The JBL Flip 6 is the next generation of the JBL Flip 5. This portable Bluetooth speaker is available in many different colors to suit your style. It's rated IP67 for dust and water resistance, and its removable carrying strap is handy if you want to bring it on the go. It's much more customizable than its predecessor since you can use the graphic EQ in the JBL Portable app to switch up its sound to your liking.

Our Verdict

6.4 Music

The JBL Flip 6 isn't bad for music. Out of the box, it reproduces voices and lead instruments with accuracy and detail, making it a great choice for most music genres. You can customize its sound with the graphic EQ and presets in the JBL Portable app. That said, given its size, it doesn't bring as much rumble in the low-bass as larger speakers on the market, nor does it get as loud.

Pros
  • Outstandingly portable.
  • Graphic EQ.
Cons
  • Doesn't get very loud.
  • Requires second unit for stereo audio.
5.6 Videos/Movies

The JBL Flip 6 isn't designed for watching movies, but if you pair it with your phone over Bluetooth to watch some videos, it can get the job done. Dialogue is clearly reproduced, so you can follow along with the action. There are some latency issues, so you'll likely notice lip-synching delays. Some apps can compensate for this differently, so your experience can vary.

Pros
  • Outstandingly portable.
  • Graphic EQ.
Cons
  • Lacks low-bass.
  • Doesn't get very loud.
  • Requires second unit for stereo audio.
7.7 Podcasts

The JBL Flip 6 is good for podcasts. Dialogue is accurately reproduced right out of the box, so it's easy to follow along with your favorite hosts. Since you can pair it with up to two devices at once, it's easy to switch between different audio sources, and its portable design means you can bring it with you from room to room as you listen.

Pros
  • Outstandingly portable.
  • Graphic EQ.
  • Multi-device pairing.
Cons
  • Doesn't get very loud.
3.0 Voice Assistant

The JBL Flip 6 doesn't support voice assistants.

7.2 Outdoors

The JBL Flip 6 is decent for outdoor use. It's well-built with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. This small, lightweight speaker also comes with a removable carrying strap to help transport it when you're on the go. That said, its battery life only lasts just under six hours, so while it can last through an afternoon picnic, it'll need a recharge if you plan on partying into the night.

Pros
  • Outstandingly portable.
  • IP67 rating for dust and water resistance.
Cons
  • Lacks low-bass.
  • Requires second unit for stereo audio.
  • 6.4 Music
  • 5.6 Videos/Movies

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

This speaker comes in nine color variants: Black, Blue, Camo, Green, Gray, Pink, White, Teal, and Red. Plus, you can customize your own colorways to get a speaker that suits your style; you'll find this on JBL's website. We tested the Black variant, though we expect all color variants to perform similarly. You can find the labels for the model tested here, here, and here.

If you come across any other variants of this speaker, let us know in the forums, and we'll update our review.

Compared To Other Speakers

The JBL Flip 6 is the next generation of the JBL Flip 5. It has a neutral-sound profile out of the box, and unlike its predecessors, you can customize its sound to your liking via the graphic EQ in the JBL Portable app. It's well-built with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, certifying it to be fully dust-tight and immersible in up to a meter of water for 30 minutes. The JBL Flip 6 also supports PartyBoost, meaning you can connect it to PartyBoost-compatible JBL speakers like the JBL Charge 5. You can't connect it to JBL Connect+ speakers like the JBL Flip 4. Also, unlike the Flip 4, it doesn't support voice assistants through your smartphone since it lacks a mic.

This speaker's build quality is great. It feels solid and is wrapped in a tight fabric that doesn't feel like it could easily rip. Its controls are rubberized, and there's hard protective rubber on the ends of the speaker surrounding its passive radiators. While there isn't a rubber flap to protect its USB-C charging port, it's still rated IP67 for dust and water resistance, meaning it's certified to be fully dust-tight and immersible in up to a meter of water for 30 minutes. It's even advertised to come with USB charging protection, which lets you know via an audible beep if you're too close to water, salt, or other chemicals.

The JBL Flip 6's frequency response accuracy is alright. Out of the box, it has a pretty even sound profile, especially in the mids, where most voices and lead instruments reproduce. As a result, it's suitable for listening to lots of different types of audio content. You can customize its sound to your liking with the graphic EQ in the JBL Portable app. Of course, it doesn't bring as much low-bass as larger speakers, but it does a good job for its size.

This speaker's soundstage isn't bad. It has good directivity, meaning audio is consistent from most angles around the speaker. While you can pair it with another speaker to create a stereo pair, it downmixes stereo content to mono when using it on its own. Check out the TREBLAB HD77 or the JBL Pulse 5 for a similar speaker with a better soundstage performance.
