"insane battery ... in the morning it's still not drained - and this is on a 6 year old set with worn out batteries. ... The case only needs charged once, maybe twice a month"


"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."


"the battery life is phenomenal, it lasts over 10 hours (14-16 for me i think?)"

"First off, the sound out of the box is super clear with solid, punchy bass (not muddy at all) ... it sounds awesome as is ... if you’re really into bass, like I am, max out the EQ and it gets that deep thump (with zero distortion, even cranked up)"


"the charge 6 is just a beast for way less money. ... It provides pretty crisp and detailed sound while having a surprising bass response, Especially with some eq."


"the bass on this one is solid. ... It ’s strong, punchy, and doesn’t mess up even at high volume."

"I have been testing the charge 6 recently and it digs pretty deep. Not like the xtreme4, but surprisingly well for its size. ... I just want it for the 50-60hz bass it let's out lol"

I use a JBL charge in my truck and a JBL earbud when walking.

Until it's too hot and shuts itself off. In an ffv, the side window is possibly better

Get a charge 6 trust, more power and db plus bigger drivers they are larger by a few mm in length and width.

I'm a huge jbl fan boy but this is where I disagree the new flip 7 I belive has 35 or 40 watts and the charge 6 has 45 most bookshelf speakers are 20 to 50 watts per enclosure even with the bookshelves being at the minmum it still can be pushed to its max without compressing unlike the jbls after 70% the jbls dsp kicks in and compresses low to low mid frequencies to help reduce distortion and keep clarity unlike bookshelves where you can push them and push them with keeping the spl of all frequencies somewhat the same and when distortion happens guess what just dial back the gain a bit , pair that with components that are designed to have a flat frequency response and an amp with lets say a 12 band eq or even a 6 band eq and now you have a fully customizable sound stage and eq, now let's argue yes the new jbl gens do have a 12 band eq but not only does jbls amp have a preset eq and dsp but much like the partyboost I bet you when the auracast is active it will turn off custom eqs to keep the fr the same through both enclosures yes you have system eqs on Android and there are apps that let you controll the signals eq but either way the preset dsp will compress and compress the signal the more you mess with the eq unlike vintage equipment or bookshelf speakers in general they not only have flat response drivers but they have an actual enclosure not just for increased fr but spl aswell. You have to think about it too both enclosures are for a completely different purpose. The cheapest hifi system will blow two flip 6s or charge 6s out of the water no doubt maybe not in db but most definitely in quality of sound and low to subsonic fr. Now let's say op were to get two jbl bb3s now you are talking that's something that will contest with most bookshelf speakers or hifi systems, sure you won't have that flat response but the bb3 is pretty wide (in the fr) and has a a 3 way setup that's an effecient setup especially when put into stereo mode now you have two mids two tweeters and a dedicated sub for the left and right channel now that's gonna blow this setup out the water. Jbl definitely does have hifi components but not on their small to mid sized portable speakers like for example idk if anyone else feels like this but jbls (samsung, harman Kardon) drivers tuning is very high pitched with sub bass and low mids? Even on the mid woofers it lacks detail and the tweeters have to much presence.

Yeah, realistically that isn't going to happen, replacing 10 speakers with 1-3 is tough as it is, much less when those 10 speakers were designed for the space they are in and those 1-3 are jammed into an enclosure with the amp and battery in a single unit... I mean the closest you will get is a one of the big JBL Party Boxes which honestly isn't very portable at like 75 pounds and 45 inches tall, not to mention they run a grand or so. If you just want decent sound quality -AND- portability the JBL Flip, Charge, or even the Extreme series are pretty decent, but for high end quality you are going to be going well over the $500 mark... KEF, Bowers & Wilkens, Sonos, etc. And Bose... Yeah, I am not a huge fan... I would take the Infinity system in my Hyundai over it in a heartbeat for sound quality.

105db? Thats complete bullshit, i got a jbl charge 6 louder and that clocks at 101,3db(A) and for the 250$ price tag it has worse specs/performance then a charge 6/5. It has worse SPL, worse clarity, worse battery, and worse bass response although durability is mostly equal as far as i have abused both (ranger and charge 6).

I've been using the same JBL charge for probably 10 years. When/if it dies, I'll go buy another one just like it.

Bose soundlink flex 2 has great bass for on the go. Especially for it's size. If you play with the eq in the bose app and put it in the corner. It sounds way bigger that it's size. Earfun Uboom X is also great. Its larger but almost the same price as the bose. The bass on it is fantastic. Devialet Mania is an wonderful sounding speaker. Big bass, great highs, and a big price haha 😉 Jbl flip 7 or charge 6 are great for outdoor usage.

I mean for the big speakers a partybox 210 is like okay (also speakers of the same size usually sound very similar), 310 is the best for medium sized rooms and anything above is practically not needed. For the medium sized ones, a boombox 3, charge 4/5/6 are pretty good cost/sound sound variants. For the smaller/little ones it's hard to choose, since you usually can't get much bass out of them. I chose mine by the specs and knowledge. JBL has been around for years and has developed a pretty huge ecosystem of syncing tws clear sounding speakers. Although they're pretty pricey, I think most of their speakers are worth it. How to choose: Ratings/comments under product Specs (Size, wattage and speaker range. The lower it goes, the better it usually is.) Price: must not be overpriced. The less rgb the lower the price (usually (not talking about partyboxes rn))

Can't go wrong with a JBL Charge or Xtreme for that price, depending on sales

I wouldn't recommend any Earfun speaker to someone who isn't very tech savy. Every Earfun speaker sounds mediocre out of the box and they need EQing. I really like my UBOOM X, but I just can't recommend it to my mom. That's why my mom has a JBL Charge. Also, any of the stock (normal or OLUV's) EQs are way too focused on deep bass, which isn't the best with classical music. And it's not very portable I think, it's rather huge.
