Sin duda volvería a comprar, 100% Recomendado

Great sound in a compact speaker. I thought the phone app would have a fancier EQ adjustment but it only has bass, mid, and treble. The bass is already very powerful, so I turned up the mid and it sounds great. I left my black bluetooth speaker in a hotel room so I got a grey one this time, hopefully it will stand out more.

Love this speaker. Works well with any blue tooth connection. Size is perfect for taking anywhere. Good value for the money. The sound is spot on and recharges nicely.

This little speaker really blew away my expectations. The volume range fill all use cases for me, from working in the garage, jamming out in the shower, playing calm music during sleep, or hanging out with family and friends.
For reference of review, my regular home listening setup includes two 5″ JBL LSR305 bookshelf speakers and a JL Audio D110 10″ subwoofer.
I’ve listened to many genres of music on it, from many flavors of EDM, to rock, metal, bass music, and ambient. It’s really quite incredible how the multiple integrated speakers fill a room or open space with an impressive frequency range.
The low end is quite punchy. When turned up, you can hear and almost feel a thumpy kick drum or bass line through an interior home wall. To be clear, you won’t be feeling any sub bass or other very low frequencies due to the size of the speaker diaphragm, and it would be unfair to expect that. However, what it does put out is, again, impressive.
The mid range is strong. Vocals are clear and remain undistorted at higher volumes. Guitars, synthesizers, and percussion come through nicely.
Where this speaker unfortunately falls a bit short is the high end. It’s particularly noticeable with cymbals: a just-audible distortion and fuzziness, but it’s important to remember we’re talking about a portable wireless Bluetooth speaker for $100.
For the price point, the sound quality is very good. I highly recommend it for sound and portability alone.
Sound quality aside, everything else is as advertised and expected. Bluetooth pairing works normally. Apparently this speaker supports JBL’s party mode where adjacent JBL speakers can replicate audio from one source to all of them; I haven’t tested that feature. Product quality is good. It looks sleek, feels nice in the hand, and the rubber trim is helpful to prevent it from moving about on uneven surfaces.
Battery life is good: it will last upwards of 16 hours at low volume as tested by playing calm music during sleep, and recharging with USB-C is speedy!

I purchased the JBL Flip 6 (renewed) two months ago and have been very satisfied. The speaker represents my first JBL purchase. I’ve been messing around with Bluetooth technology since 2002 in one form or another, and this speaker is super-simple to pair with one’s cellphone.
About the same time, I purchased a Bose SoundLink Flex. Both have equal performance and are priced with dollars and cents of each other. When I purchase each, I also bought aftermarket silicone speaker protectors (~$12) to ensure a dent-free life and the ability to attach a nice carrying sling/shoulder strap. A good/inexpensive investment.
On/off buttons, volume & Bluetooth pairing buttons are located on the Flip 6, however, if one would like to change the default bass and treble tones, you will need to download the JBL Portable app that matches your electronic devices OS platform. I use an iPhone and have had no issues. The app is a basic equalizer control feature one might use in addition to your devices native audio settings.
In other reviews and promotional videos, much attention is paid to the waterproof features of JBL’s cylindrical Thermos shaped BT speakers. I suppose this might be relevant if I were to use the speaker while bathing in the tub or shower, however, common sense dictates using a bit more care in where one puts the speaker in the bathroom to begin with.
One of the most interesting features is PartyBoost. PartyBoost allows the user to daisy chain other JBl PartyBoost compatible Bluetooth speakers together to play music from a common phone or similar. I assume each speaker would need to be located within a ~26ft radius, which is generally accepted as the average range of Bluetooth antenna technology.
Visually, JBL’s Bluetooth speakers are very cool. They come in a variety of colors. My Flip 6 is black, like about everything else I own in personal electronics. JBL even offers camouflage patterns, though I doubt one might catch many deer or elephants with Metallica thrashing away. Perhaps playing tunes to celebrate a good hunt makes more sense.
The end caps of all the cylindrical speakers vibrate when passively resonating sound energy from the front firing woofer/tweeter speakers. Visually, it’s fun, although I’m not sure if it’s indicative of anything else other than air being pushed to and fro about the plastic speaker carcass.
After using the speaker for a while, I’d say I like it as much as my Bose SoundLink Mini, which is kind of the benchmark for mini Bluetooth speakers. Tiny speaker, big sound, zero distortion.
If you are interested in an easy to pair, easy to use, quick charging, long battery life (10-12hrs), great sounding and good looking small Bluetooth speaker, the JBL Flip 6 is a great unit. I purchased this speaker “renewed” at around $96. It arrived in a generic box, with instructions, minus the chunk of paracord one might use as a wrist or back pack attachment. Oh well. In perfect condition.
Do spring for the aftermarket silicone bumper. Thanks
