Only reason 4 stars is cause i ordered two and one died shortly after. But JBLs been great on working on getting it replaced. As for the good one.... It's amazing! Excellent sound, perfect size and weight, durable, and just has a great look to it. Also sounds great paired up with another Flip6 in stereo, as well as in partyboost with a Charge5 and Flip5. Knocked it out of the park once again JBL!
Switched over from a Bose MiniSoundlink after several years and have been blown away by the sound quality. I use this as a speaker for pregame music in a men's beer league locker room so obviously I needed it to be loud and it does not disappoint. The compact design fits comfortably in my bag. 10/10 Would highly recommend.

Best Portable Speaker On The Market

I bought this speaker, First of all an amazing speaker, Honestly the best portable speaker I've ever had/listened to! The support team is also incredible, I bought a flip 5 and after a while it didnt sound the same. I contacted the support team and they had a replacement at my doorstep in 4 days! Now talk about great service! Beyond impressed.

JBL Flip enthusiast approved!

Ever since the first iteration of the JBL flip, I've always found the each version to be one of the best Bluetooth speakers available. They just keep getting better and better.
I was a bit hesitant to purchase the 6, because some reviewers online said there wasn't a big difference between the 5 and the 6. Trying the speakers out on the display at the store, I couldn't really tell. The 'Black Friday' deal enticed me to try out the Flip 6.
Boy are the other reviewers wrong, and the in store display/demo's don't do it justice.
I'm so glad JBL evolved this into a 2 way speaker. The sound is so much clearer thanks to the addition of the tweeter! This was the only change I had mentioned on my review of the Flip 5, add a tweeter! .... and they did.
Now this thing is complete, and with the addition of the EQ feature on the 'JBL Portable' app, I have no idea how they're going to one-up this version. There isn't anything I would change regarding the sound/technology.
Only minor complaint is the giant JBL logo on the grill, I miss the discreet orange square. But, I get it branding is key and it's important to distinguish between the models (which have been pretty much visually unchanged since the beginning)
If I were to guess as to the changes on the FLIP 7 (not that the 6 needs anything changed); I'd say either more power, or a bigger battery. A change in the quantity or size of drivers would most likely result in a form factor change, which wouldn't fit within the product line. So I really have no idea.

Love this speaker! It's pure JBL quality! BUT...

Love this speaker! The JBL quality continues! I upgraded from my Flip 4 after years of loving it! Giving the 4 to a friend! It does have the awesome clear sound! Can be loud if you want it! I do have it at a lower volume than the Flip 4! Probably due to it's clarity! I even got the gray & not the black as i normally buy! It's is a cool color! I would give this a 5 BUT for a couple things! - No microphone! Which is partialy ok, bcuz i hardly used that feature but for when i needed it! - It doesn't remember devices! With my Flip 4 I could go from my phone to laptop (and vice-versa) without touching anything! With the 6; I have to reconnect each device each time! This IS a M AJOR negative! It is absurd that JBL took that feature away!! I have no idea why they would do that!! It really IS a pain to do it!!! Improve feature & NEVER take away them!!! Overall - it IS an awesome speaker! The sound is crystal clear! and can be loud if you want it! I haven't tested the distance issue as I don't have a need to! The new logo is cool! I really like it! The size is a little larger than the 4 but still on the smaller size, that I like! My advice - if you can live with the differences - don't hesitate & get it! I love JBL!
