Am i the only one watching this on a JBL flip 6? [...] Edit almost 3 years after i bought it (18.05.2026): The speaker is disconnecting when i pause the sound for over half a year now, the battery life still is decent though, sound quality didn't degrade a bit. [...]
I bought two in the same week. Second week, one had the bluetooth go bad. Three months later, the battery charge circuit went bad in the other. Now for the past year or two, I have had two Tribit stormbox pros. [...] Tighter bass too. [...]
I got the JBL Flip 6 for audiobooks! I compared the 4 to the 6 but the 6 had two tweeders that really allowed for crisp narration.
Just got one from target since they are 79.99 for Black Friday. This things works so well, and lasts long on a full charge. It’s been really great for those times when I’m working around the house but can’t use my headphones because I need to be able to hear kids.
I bought JBL Flip 6 from Richer Sounds out of necessity a while back, and it is incredible for something that cost £80. Even Bluetooth streaming quality is ace. I have floor standing JBLs downstairs, so that swayed my decision on brand, as they have been fantastic
