I bought it and used it at the beach. It's pretty loud which I was happy about (loud enough for our decently sized group without being too loud for the people around us). It died from full charge after 5ish hours which kind of sucked.
I was initially very excited for these speakers. I initially purchased one and loved it so I purchased a second one so I could use it in stereo mode which is great sounds fantastic. However they are marketing it as waterproof and durable however, even with extremely careful use the JBL emblem on the front is very delicate and the paint comes off despite treating the speakers with extreme care. For something that’s advertised as being rugged I’m not sure if that’s true.
bought the clip 5, 4 weeks ago then bought the flip 7 about 2 and a half weeks ago, then yesterday i bought the charge 6 sounds so good its a perfect beautiful piece of art fr, connecting all three together for surround sound is js perfect. jbl speakers are addicting fr, jbl send me a gift pls;)
I absolutely love the jbl speaker I created. I bought the jbl charge 6 and got to make it look a way that I wanted. Sound wise it sounds really good and goes loud. It has a handle to hold it and take it places. I definitely recommend getting one. 💯
I’m from Sri Lanka. I bought mine in September last year. And I had no issues with it at all. But after a month, when I plugged it into charge, always after around half an hour, it starts to beep. Like that warning beeping. But there were nothing there inside the charging port and in the cable. I have never put this into water. Even after a day, it did the same. I usually charge it like twice a month. And after 3 days of happening this, I switched my cable to a better cable. Even with that, same happened. The charger I was using was a Samsung 25W PD charger. Then I tried different cables, different chargers , different outlets even different houses. But it was the same. And then somewhere around October, it stopped beeping but it started charging very very slowly. So now it takes a full day to me to get it fully charged. To be exact, it takes around 10 minutes to charge 1% of the battery.
The store I bought this refuses to let me claim my warranty. So I couldn’t do anything. I cannot give this to a local repair shop as most of them are not trustworthy. Because, last time I repaired my JBL headphones, after the repair, the sound was so muffled.
Bought today and doesn’t include a charger cable, I don’t have a spare so I now have to go fork out more money after saving for a couple weeks to afford the speaker. Will be the last jbl product I ever buy.

Thank you for your inquiry on our JBL Charge 6. Our decision not to include a USB Type-C cable is because it is commonly available on most households and helps keep the price of the speaker friendly to our customers. With that in mind, we invite you to contact our customer support for further assistance regarding the charging cable.
This is by far the best Bluetooth speaker I’ve ever owned! I’ve had a lot of different UE speakers that I thought were great until I got my hands on this beautiful purple Charge 6. Checks all the marks for a Bluetooth speaker. Durability? Check! Portability? Check! Well-made/designed? Check! Battery life? Check! And most importantly…sound quality? Check plus!! I’m absolutely in LOVE with this speaker I really am. I have no idea how JBL is gonna top this with the next addition to the “Charge” series but I can’t wait to find out lol
