That equals the Charge 4, but there are plenty of improvements as well. The battery is a monster 7500mAh, which is good for 20 hours of uninterrupted listening. Like its predecessor, it doubles as a portable battery pack, charging up your smartphone or tablet – the clue's in the name. The Charge 5 is the latest in the Charge line-up. As you'll see, they're very different beasts to a JBL Flip. The Flips are easily portable, but JBL makes much bigger Bluetooth speakers too, such as the JBL Charge and JBL Xtreme speakers. That's a little pricier than the Flip 5's current price, but all signs point to it being worth it. The Flip 6 comes in Dusty Pink, Grey Stone, River Teal, Fiesta Red, Ocean Blue, Midnight Black, Steel White, Forest Green and Squad. And it has the same PartyBoost feature (which lets you wirelessly pair it with other JBL speakers – including the Flip 5 – for a louder sound) and same 12-hour battery life.įinally, the colourways are also new. The Bluetooth has been upgraded, from version 4.2 on the Flip 5 to 5.1. That means it has the same waterproof rating as the Flip 5 (surviving full submersion in up to a metre of water for 30 minutes), while also being completely dust-tight.

It's also had a minor upgrade in terms of durability, now being rated IP67 (the Flip 5 was IPX7). But considering its predecessor scored five stars in our JBL Flip 5 review, we're expecting great things.)

(We say 'should' as we haven't had a chance to test the Flip 6 yet. These should give tunes added depth and more power. It has the same racetrack-shaped driver as the Flip 5, but now has a separate tweeter and dual passive radiators.

At the start of September, JBL announced the Flip 6, which is an upgrade on the Flip 5 both inside and out. Let's start with arguably the most popular JBL wireless speakers.
