JBL


JBL Flip Model 6 is tested

JBL's Bluetooth-enabled mobile speakers have been on sale for years and are also a favorite. We took the latest version of the manufacturer's collection to try out Flip Model 6. The speaker, which went on sale in November, costs 139 euros, so it's not exactly one of the cheaper models of cell phones or mobile speakers.

The Flip collection thus reaches its sixth generation, as the first model saw the light of day nearly ten years ago, in 2012. It has already managed to attract positive attention with its voice. Since then, it can be said that there have been many competitors.

Currently, the toughest competitors can still come from the manufacturer's own field towards the Flip 5 and Charge 5 models, but also from the Marshall Emberton or Sony SRS-XB43 models, for example. In the corresponding size range, but a few dozen more expensive, there is also, for example, Sonos Roam, which has also been tested

In addition to the speaker, the sales package includes a USB-A to USB-C cable and a Quick Start Guide.

The new Flip 6 speaker still looks a lot like its predecessors. However, the speaker has been redesigned inside and out. The clearest innovations are reflected in the device's logo and its color gamut. Now there are catchy names of Dusty Rose, Stone Gray, Teal Blue, Fiesta Red, Ocean Blue, Midnight Black, Forest Green (dark green) or Squadron (terrain texture). So there is plenty of choice, although not all colors were available at the time this article was written.

The first time you use it, the speaker automatically enters Bluetooth pairing mode, making it easy to connect. There is no need to install any separate application, but the device comes from JBL Portable. It also handles software updates so it is recommended to install it.

The app also provides access to a thick tone control and the ability to turn off the beeps. No wonder JBL Portable offers it, but it's easy to use and even the smallest features are a better solution than nothing.

The JBL Flip 6 has dimensions (17.8 x 6.8 x 7.2 cm). The speaker is clearly designed to accompany you on a daily basis. This is evident, at best, in the sturdy, albeit short-sleeved, bracelet that allows the device to be snugly fastened on the wrist. It weighs a pound, so the whole can be described as supportive.
