Product details

Loud, powerful sound. The beat goes on with the JBL Flip 6 2-way speaker system, engineered to deliver loud, crystal clear, powerful sound. Its Racetrack woofer delivers exceptional low frequencies and midrange, while a separate tweeter produces crisp, clear high frequencies. The Flip 6 also features two optimised passive radiators for deep bass, fine-tuned with Harman's advanced algorithm. For the swimming pool. For the park. JBL Flip 6 is IP67 waterproof and dustproof so you can take it anywhere. Don't worry about little things like charging the battery. JBL Flip 6 offers up to 12 hours of playback time on a single charge. Powerful audio meets bold design. Big sound, yet easy to wear; the design fits any personal style. Place it vertically or horizontally and choose from a variety of exciting colours.

Step on the gas with the PartyBoost. PartyBoost lets you pair two PartyBoost-compatible JBL speakers for stereo sound or connect multiple PartyBoost-compatible JBL speakers to get your party going. Maximise your audio experience with the JBL Portable app. Get updates and product support directly from your phone. Then unlock functions, boost your audio or optimise your bass so you have total control over your sound. Hassle-free charging. The JBL Flip 6 offers USB-C charging protection. This means a reminder tone alerts you to unplug if the port detects water, salt or other chemicals. Wireless streaming via Bluetooth. Connect up to 2 smartphones or tablets wirelessly to the speaker and take turns enjoying the original JBL Pro Sound. JBL is committed to more sustainable, environmentally friendly packaging. The Flip 6 is packaged in a recyclable paper box, including the inner shell. The plastic hang tag is over 90% recycled and the exterior is printed with soya ink.

Even if the individual improvements appear marginal, in total they go far beyond simple model updates. The Flip 7 offers real added value, but not enough to make an upgrade from its predecessor necessary.

The Flip 6 is a real all-round carefree package: charge, pack, go. Nothing can shake it that easily. The sound is also okay.

A powerful bass, clearly audible details and a balanced, lively sound - that's what the perfect Bluetooth speaker should sound like.
