JBL Flip 6 Review｜Watch Before You Buy

[@crliny1]

Just bought a used Flip 6 from a CRACKHEAD for 8 dollars! I washed it with Dawn detergent in my kitchen sink! It's dry now, and it sounds great! I already have a new Flip 6 and Xtreme 3! I have Flip 3 and 5 too! The Flip five blew a speaker and rattles, so I don't use it anymore!

Now for the past year or two, I have had two Tribit stormbox pros. So much better in so many ways. Each one is stereo in itself and can be paired in stereo mode or multiples in party mode. Tighter bass too. Don't need to mess with any lousy app either.

Why don’t it charge it just stays in red

[@notinterestedx]

they are not even that different in price anymore... you can get the flip 6 for £99 and the charge 5 for £129.. the difference Is how portable they are. the charge 5 is obviously going to be better, but the flip 6 is lighter, smaller, got a carry loop, better shape for travelling etc.

I heard this and was like "Hang on a sec" haha. 😂

[@Elvira_Berzina]

So in your opinion : would you go for flip 4 5 or 6 is it worth the update

[@andrewwilliams9601]

The Flip 4 has two driver speakers underneath the grill, which was the reason I never upgraded to the 5. It seems this 6 has the same single speaker like the 5 but with the addition of a tweeter. In my opinion, the 4 utilizing two separate speakers, sounds slightly better than the 5. The downside is it's micro USB as opposed to 5 and 6 having USB C. I'm curious about the 6 having the tweeter though 🤔

[@sirdjorgostarcopper8735]

Andrew is correct..the flip 4 is still what makes sense..

[@wateristhefuelnotfossil]

What does he mean "augment the sound?" Would it play the true stereophonic using the JBL app or does it simulate a fake stereo effect using two separate JBL 6 speakers????? Please answer, thank you

[@wateristhefuelnotfossil]

Can I use two identical JBL 4 and still use the JBL app to get the benefit of actual and authentic stereophonic effect? Help 😮

One comment that was made in the video is about it only connecting with other flip 6's. That is incorrect to a certain point. I have a flip 6, 2 of the charge 5, and 1 extreme 3 all in blue and they all connect with each other just fine using the party boost mode. So as long as you have a JBL with the party boost they should all connect and talk with each other. If you want to use the app to "stereo" the configuration then yes you would want 2 of the same speaker to do this with. All that said if you couldnt tell I am all in on the JBL speakers of late and they are all amazing.

I must say that on a lot of your videos your facts are slightly wrong eg" the jbl flip 6 can pair with any jbl speaker that uses party boost however it can only do left and right audio with another flip 6

[@mindbodyandsoul81]

Is volume louder then 4 and 5 can the bass be adjusted or does it come standard

[@david_davidson]

The "party mode" will give a significant bass boost. Without it activated the bass is still very full, but not overly bass heavy, though not at all bass deficient (too much treble, or "tinny"). IDK about the volume, having never heard the 4, but it's loud enough to hear very clearly over local & freeway traffic when you have it strapped behind your seat on an e-bike & you can feel the bass when you have "party mode" activated.

[@ramondelgado6778]

There is a JBL app that allows for three EQ adjustments, Bass, Mid-range, and Treble. It allows you to raise and/or lower each setting +/- 3db , 6db, or flat/zero/nuetral.

[@david_davidson]

@@ramondelgado6778 Word is that app doesn't work very well (cuts in & out, shuts unit off for apparently no reason, etc.) & of course has to be open when the J6 is on & in range while also playing music (most likely) from the same device attempting to access the website, or app.

[@ramondelgado6778]

@@david_davidson I'll have to monitor that closely as so far, I have not noticed the EQ setting had changed when the app is not open on my phone. Thanks for pointing that out. Regarding how much adjustment, I feel that it is pretty significant up or down. I just wish there were maybe 5 or 7 bands of EQ. I also feel with the bass turned all the way down, it's still too much.

Hello anybody home? It’s already 2023.

[@seb5542]

Not many speakers have 3.5mm audio jacks anymore, and they haven't done for many years. Not unless they're cheaper models. They've been phasing it out for a while, since it's just inferior. You might find them in some proper home/audiophile/professional speakers instead of amateur stuff like this, but that will usually be bigger than 3.5mm. Portable speakers like this, tend to go the Bluetooth route since it compliments the design goal of a portable speaker. There also isn't much of a difference anymore in quality unless you need it for professional use cases.

[@seb5542]

​@@patricj951This is a bit ridiculous. There are many things in place to prevent against Bluetooth attacks on modern phones. And it's far, far down on the list of priorities when it comes to hacking vulnerabilities. You also can't perform bluetooth attacks when the target is connected to a device. It's only when the phone is searching for a device (literal seconds), and this doesn't require you to have any Bluetooth products to be a victim of. Just leaving Bluetooth turned on when you aren't using it is the only way it's going to happen. And even then, you have to be very very close to the target. You might as well just not use email. That's far more of a security problem. Or social engineering lol.
