I got my headphones on and I can honestly say the flip 6 sounds a lot better as far as sound quality highs and the mids are more pronounced and the bass is a lot richer on the flip 5 every time the bass hits it sounds like it's pulling power away from the highs and mids I can only imagine what it sounds like in the room but both speakers do sound amazing crazy floss keep up the good work man

[@AM-dj1wr]

Just bought a preowned JBL Flip 4 (So now I have 2 for party boost, and it sounds dope)... Must say, the fact that the 4's mids and highs are better than the 5's, still makes me want to stay with the 4... Also the 4's built in mic is awesome for voice calls. Actually it' so useful, and a proper game changer for my needs. The 6 seams really cool, but i'd need to by 2 for full effect. The party boost feature really gives a fat surround sound when connected to all other devices (Sport on TV).. Reckon I might only make the move around JBL 8 or 9. Sure it will be a pricey event and well worth it when the day comes, but the step up form 4 to 6 is still to not big enough to justify spend for 2 units. Can't go wrong with JBL period! Great review Flossy! Thanks!

Was kinda tempted on getting the 6, but I just love the fact that the 5 can be personalized with a custom image. It really helps me out too cause my friends and I all love syncing our speakers together and if mine has a design I made myself on it, it makes it harder for us to mix up whose is whose. And it stands out cause you know it's original vs. just a few color choices.

Just one request, when you are testing 2 different songs, it would be great to have one song be synthetic/virtual instruments and another one that was recorded with real instruments instead of both songs being synthetic. I don't know if that's the correct terminology but you know what I'm sayin. Maybe there's really no difference but it was just something I was curious about. Great video as always. Kinda surprised you didn't give a little jab at JBL for purposely leaving out software features like the EQ settings for the Flip 5. We all know they could just as easily add that shit to older models and that's some bs. And how can they not figure out how to have connectivity from the older models to the new ones when they both have connection capabilities? Maybe they can't do it as the same party boost, 100 devices crap but should be able to at least connect somehow. I think we would love to see a video of you connecting all your JBL speakers at once, new and old, whatever ones can connect and every one of them. Get it poppin!!! Great video as always!

[@ramondelgado6778]

The Flip 6 is a whole other world of speaker. It sounds like a half way decent small bookshelf. If you can get a Flip 5 for less, they difference is minimal as the jump from the 4 to the 5 is significant. The Flip 6 is way less now. Also, if these are too expensive, an EXCELLENT option is the UE Wonderboom 2 or 3. Good luck!

[@jonathanchambliss286]

My Flip 3 and Flip 4 both failed at the charging port, which made me pass on the Flip 5. The Flip 6 looks tempting though!

Charge series is really the bad apple from JBL. The Flip is very portable and sounds great for its size and the Xtreme is louder, bigger and still portable because of the awesome carrying strap, great for outdoor parties. I really don't know who the Charge is intended for?

Thanks man for another great review. I could tell with headphones the flip six definitely beats the flip 5. I like that there is an app with E-Q settings. From your brief description of the app, it sounds like it will be accessible with voice over. I use that on my iPhone 8 as I'm totally blind. I'm looking forward to checking out the connectivity of bluetooth 5.1. I need a good bluetooth connection to work with my bard mobile app. This app is for the blind and allows me to get audio books for free. Sometimes speakers with lower bluetooth don't work well with the app and also there could also be problems with voice over. Thanks again for another great review.

[@joshuahendrickson4854]

@@Mushbee I am totally blind, so how something looks isn't of major importance to me. I agree, that I do wish the speaker had a rubber cap covering the charging port. I don't intend to take the speaker outside with me, so I think I will be okay. When I do get the speaker, I'll have to let you all know what I think of it. I have never owned a JBL speaker of any kind. It will be neat to try a new brand of speaker.
