"And to find out it was only $70 made me want it more."
"definitely below 500 ... no complaints at that price and if they do happen to get fritzed I wouldn't be too sad to have to replace them for their cost"

"both of those perform pretty well for what they are ... they sound a heck of a lot better than most tool brand speakers, even ones that are a good bit larger. ... the quality of sound is much better. ... If it sounds as good as an older-gen Flip, etc., I'd probably be happy enough with that."
"The JBL Flip 6 is a great sounding speaker. ... To me, it sounded better than the prior model the Flip 5."
"Also for rock you can turn on “party mode” which makes is louder and heavier bass."

"The results were amusing from a quality standpoint ... Then, even when you do, the sound will be wacky, muffled, unmusical, and just plain shit, and that's assuming you don't crack the speakers pumping a bass guitar through them."
"it has almost 0 bass"
"The obvious issue is that these speakers aren't designed or voiced for bass guitar, and they don't have a preamp; so you'll need to find a way to preamplify your bass for starters."

"The Flip may sound more right than the Sony but sounds hollow in the middle when you put it up against the Bose's balance."
I just had a Flip 4 and the battery started going really fast and I saw a Flip 6 on Amazon for like $69 and I got it but I'm not happy with it...
r/JBL • JBL Charge 5 users, are you happy with your portable speaker ? ->I also think that it being a mono speaker is what was really sounding so different to me, that's why I don't think I like the sound of it because my Flip 4 is stereo. But I would appreciate your opinion on buying refurbished/certified I've read some horror stories on here and others do it and don't have a problem. Would you buy refurbished/certified? The Xtreme 4 is the one with the replaceable battery right? But I've read so much good about the Xtreme 3... Thanks I appreciate it, I'm really struggling with making a decision lol....
r/JBL • JBL Charge 5 users, are you happy with your portable speaker ? ->I have a JBL flip 4 that does the job. The newer versions don't have aux in, so beware. But there's no noticeable latency with it.
r/synthesizers • Small, Portable Speaker for Groovebox? ->I use a JBL Flip 4 speaker. Great quality, small, works perfect for my needs Edit: I don't know if you can adjust the bass setting and such, but I've never had an issue playing various sorts of music through it, or even sometimes using it if I'm watching a show/movie in my downtime on a tablet
r/massage • Good Speaker System for Massage Room? ->I use the little JBL flip 4 as it is true stereo and sounds pretty damn good. Battery is good and 1/8 in jack. :)
r/synthesizers • Portable Speaker with Aux In to Connect to a Synth. ->Yeah this is why I stick with the flip 4 and it's a true stereo output. This is my second flip only cause dogs chewed other. Lol Tough and waterproof with the input and good sound. I rarely use bt to prolong battery.
r/synthesizers • Portable Speaker with Aux In to Connect to a Synth. ->Jbl flip is a good portable speaker. Just pay attention because jbl removed the line in jack from later versions of the flip.
r/synthesizers • Portable Speaker with Aux In to Connect to a Synth. ->They are mono, I think. At least, when I've mastered a track, I often find anything I've put wide in the mix seems to have phasing issues on the JBL. Might not matter for jamming with Move though
r/ableton • Ableton Move external speaker ->JBL flips are pretty small and they bang. Obviously don't mix on them but for writing they're great.
r/ableton • Ableton Move external speaker ->Sony has warmer sound, also looks and feels better. Especially for older people sony sound better Jbl Flip has a bit more 'power' tho, that you don't need if you are not outside with your friends trying to blast loud music You could also consoder Soundcore Motion+ for this price, but you'd have to tweak a bit in the EQ. If you want a bigger speaker overall, Charge Essential 2 might be an option. All around the price region of the Sony, especially witz black friday coming up
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Which speaker to choose? ->JBL. I have had one for years. It’s water resistant. Has great sound. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive. I have literally dropped it in the bath tub with the kids and it still sounds great. Also for rock you can turn on “party mode” which makes is louder and heavier bass.
r/alterbridge • Home/portable/bluetooth speaker suggestions primarily for around the house ->I have the Flip.
r/alterbridge • Home/portable/bluetooth speaker suggestions primarily for around the house ->Jbl Flip for sure
r/alterbridge • Home/portable/bluetooth speaker suggestions primarily for around the house ->JBL flip series. Fits perfect in a bottle holder or can be mounted to the frame.
r/cycling • Wireless speaker recommendation for cycling ->I think technically Bose Flex is the absolute best sounding small personal speaker. The JBL Flip 6 is a great sounding speaker. To me, it sounded better than the prior model the Flip 5. I do like speakers with small footprints personally. I do like the Flip and Charges from JBL and the Wonderboom and Boom from UE because of the small footprint.
