"Also for rock you can turn on “party mode” which makes is louder and heavier bass."
"I feel the bass was more pronounced, punchy, attacky if it makes sense with Flip 5 than the Charge 5."

"the even larger cylinders are used at work in a commercial washdown humid+cold environment and just keep on working and working."
"It’s water resistant. ... I have literally dropped it in the bath tub with the kids and it still sounds great."
"Also doesn't care if it falls in my hot tub (which is where it gets used the most)."

"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."

"I had one that would die after only about an hour unplugged due to heat exposure"
"The thing about these is most of them still only give about *half* the stated runtime in reality. So if they're saying something like 12hrs, they've actually only give 6hrs in typical/real use."

"for the price it's going for of 159:99$ plus tax here it is simply god awful. ... I only paid 78$ for it open box and even that was too much ... it definitely should've been a big jump up. ... In reality, it was a huge disappointment if I'm being straight up & honest with you."

"The Bose is just better. It gets louder, stays clearer at high volume, produces more and clearer bass, and sounds more detailed and refined across the board."

"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."
