JBL Charge 6 vs Cove M1

While the JBL Charge 6 and JBL Cove M1 are speakers from the same brand, they occupy radically different positions in the market. The Charge 6 is IP-rated for dust and water resistance, and you can take it on the go thanks to its 13.7-hour battery. The Cove M1 supports voice assistants, operates only when plugged in, and sounds consistent from different listening angles. If you're looking for a smart speaker, pick up the Cove M1, provided you're fine with the lack of portability. If you're going to the beach, pick up the Charge 6.
