Not good
on July 4, 2025
Posted by: Shjack93

Love the handle but that’s about where it ends. I had a charge 3 for YEARS. This new one doesn’t hold charge longer than 4-5 hours. Way to expensive to not perform well esp with their online description. Wouldn’t recommend.
Response from jbl.comBy Customer Support, July 5, 2025
Thanks for your feedback. Our JBL Charge 6 has up to 28 hours of battery life. The published playtime is the maximum battery time you will get when listening to background levels. Depending on the volume and the source material, the battery playtime will be reduced, much like a phone battery when you brighten the screen. Please charge the battery to 100% and play music without bass boosted, and at a very low volume. If it lasts close to the up-to playtime, this means the battery is working fine. If the issue remains, please contact our customer support for further assistance.

Strap Sucks but other then that its amazing
on May 16, 2025
Posted by: Carb
Speaker sounds great and is definitely louder and better quality then the 5. However my strap has already broken in about 2 weeks of use. All i have done with the strap is carry it in my hand holding the strap and one of the buttons that secures the strap has broken off making the strap pretty much useless unless you put it on one side but that kind of gets rid of the point of having an even handle to hold. Honest sorta disappointed in jbl because usually the products are so durable.

Hard to beat the price

Very nice speaker for the price but when compared to the Bose soundlink max there really is no comparison imo when it comes to the sound. Bose clearly beats this speaker out in all facets but you’ll pay for it.

Disappointly Cheaply Made
on November 30, 2025
Posted by: rogXue

Got a personalized 6 a few weeks ago. Showed up looking much more subtle than the website indicated which was disappointing. Personalization means I can't return which quickly became a problem after attempting to put the handle on the speaker. My small fingernail barely caught the speaker as I was putting the handle on and somehow damaged front. At first I thought it was just a scuff that could be wiped off but quickly found it was frayed cloth due to poor design. My previous charge was a 2/3 and by comparison I feel the old model was more durable and better built. The 6 has a kids toy plastic aesthetic that i feel affects the sound quality. Out of the box the 6 does not feel finely tuned and seems to have less punch than previous models. For the price the speaker should also have come with a power brick/cable. I regret my purchase even though it was bought on sale. Had I'd known the personalization would be cheaply mad I would not have done it.

Terrible sound
on September 24, 2025
Posted by: Dinnerrmint
I bought this speaker around March and since then it’s made a clicking crack sound once it’s played loud for long (maybe 15 minutes) I would say a speaker with a 28 hour battery life or whatever it claims and at that price point should be able to meet standards. Disappointed to say the least. It’s embarrassing to bring my speaker anywhere because it can’t play for more than 5 minutes

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We recommend connecting it to a different device or resetting the unit by pressing and holding the volume + and the play button until the speaker turns off.
