Sounds great but didn't come with a charger. Had to purchase one.

We appreciate your feedback on our JBL Charge 6. In efforts to reduce the environmental impact of our electronic equipment, we decided to remove the power cable in our newest models as most consumers already have a power cable in their homes that they can use to charge our portable speakers.
This little guy is a powerhouse! My husband stole mine and took it to his work, so I ordered another one. It fills every room with clear, bright sound. Love it!
I bought the speaker a few weeks ago after my jbl flip 4 stopped working. I have my flip for around 10 years and served me well! I decided to go with jbl again after doing some research and comparing companies. Since they specialize in sound/audio. I decided to upgrade to the bigger more expensive one because I wanted to option of it getting even louder. I picked the color purple (flip was red) and it is a very pretty royal purple with a nice flat button. It came with a handle (good quality) and that's it. I wish it came with a case or at a charging cord (flip came with both) I get the design is meant to be string enough it doesn't need it but just for traveling purposed and dirt getting in holes I would like to keep it as new as possible. The app is kind of neat you can play with the equalizer. It also connects to my devices almost instantly.
The biggest issue is the connectivity. If the device is a few feet away the sound will go in and out consistently just for a second but a lot. With my flip I would walk outside or across the house floor away and have no issues. When my laptop was connected last night the speaker was under 3 feet away and it was cutting in and out, then I moved it closer just inches away and had no issues. I was doing yard work and had it up in a tree and I was below the tree with my phone and it kept doing it. I'm less than 8 feet away. I figured with a newer and more expensive model the charge 6 would have better connectivity. It's really annoying that you have to be so close.
