Close to Perfection

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LOVE IT!! If I could have entered 4.99 stars, I would have! Let’s talk about the JBL Charge 6. The item is sleek and its portability is phenomenal! It came with a a comfortable strap to carry it with you. Perfect for on the go travelers! The sound quality is amazing. The the JBL Charge 6 has a charging port. There’s an ability to boost the bass when wanting that full, loud bump. The sound travels very far. I took it to a family get together ina backyard with a pool hot tub and waterfall.
Nobody had a hard time hearing the tunes. It has blue tooth capabilities and can connect to more than one device at a time. Pretty awesome! It’s easy to use and can be controlled through the JBL app if you have it. The bottom of the speaker has rubber and is flat for great stability on any surface. So why not the 5 stars? It isn’t with the item itself, it’s with the packaging or lack thereof. The speaker did not come with any sort of charger. I understand that a lot of items are interchangeable, but what if I was purchasing this for my dad, who has no other devices that use that port? So yes, this JBL charger 6 is perfect…for me, for you, for a parent, for anyone. Purchase one!

The next great Charge speaker from JBL
on March 9, 2025

from Mesa, AZ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had 3 previous Charge speakers and to be honest, it's probably the best model series from JBL and it's not even close. The speaker is not too big, not too small, has a TON of battery life, can charge other speakers and phones, and still provide HUGE sound. Solid, tight bass, seriously big volume, it's portable but not obnoxiously large. It's the perfect speaker to sit between the Flip series and the Extreme. Pairing it took all of 5 seconds and it was ready to go. The handle is comfortable and easy to install and remove. I honestly couldn't be happier with the versatility of this speaker. My favorite JBL so far. Highly recommend!

Biker speaker.
on March 11, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love biking and was looking for a speaker that was not to big but had big sound. It fit on my bike perfectly in the bottle holder. Bluetooth connected quick and was prefect for bike app and playing music. Battery life well exceeded longevity for a 75 mile ride which takes 6 hours plus hours. The voice clarity made it very easy to hear app driven stats. Mid way through my ride it started a raining snow mix which tested the speakers ability to work in the weather. Overall this speaker checks all the boxes for my riding entertainment while on long rides. Great sound ,great battery life and no worry if the weather gets out of hand.

Beefy loud sound and great portability
on April 2, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Charge 6 is an all-around fun and versatile Bluetooth speaker that has quickly become a favorite addition to my audio lineup. Much like the first Partybox I owned years ago, there's something about the sound, design, and quality of this speaker that makes me genuinely glad to have it.
What Stands Out: One of the most remarkable features is its signature JBL bass—full, heavy, and impactful. For those who love bass-driven audio, this speaker delivers in spades. Personally, I appreciated the app’s EQ feature, which allowed me to fine-tune the sound to suit my preferences since the default setting was a bit too bass-heavy for my taste. Pairing and setup with the app on my iPhone was seamless, and I had the speaker up and running in no time.
The addition of a handle is a thoughtful improvement from previous versions, making it much easier to grab and carry. Its waterproof design has been fantastic for use in the shower or sauna, adding to its versatility. Whether it’s at my desk for podcasts or traveling from room to room in my apartment, the portability is perfect. Outdoors, it offers surprisingly loud and clear audio, although there’s room for improvement in sound projection for larger spaces.
Battery Life: The battery performance is stellar. I was able to use the speaker for 3-4 days, averaging 4-5 hours of playtime per day, before needing to recharge. Plus, the red flashing light at around 15% battery is a simple but helpful indicator.
A Few Hiccups: While the bass is impressive, it’s a bit challenging to minimize it entirely, which might be a consideration for those living in close quarters like apartments. Thankfully, the PlaytimeBoost and EQ features do help, with PlaytimeBoost being particularly effective at reducing bass output. Another slight downside is the lack of a cover for the charging port, a feature that would have been reassuring given its waterproof design. The sound occasionally cuts out, which I hope can be resolved with a future software update.
Other Observations: The handle, while convenient, has some thin plastic or rubber components that seem like they might tear if snagged, so I’m a little concerned about its durability over time. Additionally, having multiple JBL apps for different devices can feel excessive—it would be great to see a unified app solution in the future.
Verdict: Overall, the JBL Charge 6 is a fantastic speaker for anyone looking for a portable, high-quality audio solution. It’s ideal for everyday use, both at home and on the go, offering great sound, impressive battery life, and thoughtful features like the handle and waterproof design. With a few minor improvements, this could easily be a perfect option for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

Great looking Speaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the product at my cousin bbq. The sound right out the box is not as good as its previous lines of JBL products.To make the sound of the speaker sound better or clearer you need to download the JBL app and make the adjustments on the equalizer. The product is lighter in weight but that’s what I think holds the product from sounding louder maybe because they are using lighter material. I still haven’t been able to figure out how to connect multiple speakers even though both show up on the app they both won’t simultaneously play together. The speaker is very attractive and the ladies loved the strap that comes with it. Overall looks and after JBL app use I’ll give it a 4/5. The sound could be better but maybe with the less weight and less sound maybe that’s where long battery life comes into play.
