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!
You probably gave him 8 dollars worth of crack for that speaker lol
wild comment
😂😂😂
I'm jealous
I got a crackhead who’s in debt to me and I told him to give me his JBL flip 6 to cover some of it and now I’m here 😂
I watched this with my flip 6 😂
I’m doing that right now Aswell 😂
@@labakabeast9848 😂
Same lol
Me either 😊
Same wtf
I just got my Flip 6 in blue delivered 20min ago lol Soo much better than the Flip 3 I've been using the past year. The Type C USB is the main reason I upgraded since the micro USBs wouldn't last long and with the new EQ setting in the app. Hoping the battery life is good.. now just have to find a decent case to keep it from getting scuffed up from daily use.
It’s rugged as is. Mine hasn’t been damaged yet and I am a klutz.
@@JohnSmith-ns6dp I know, they're definitely built good. But using the Flip 3 the past year at work, the annoying part is the dust and crap. I'll probably pick up a grey or black silicone case for the blue Flip 6 to give it a 2 tone color and to match my Jeep
@@curtisrich7372 The Flip 6 is supposedly dustproof but if you can find a case to make it look even cooler then have at it.
do you still use it ? if so whats your experience with it
Just purchased this for my son for his birthday. Definitely crsnks for the size and cost. Very impressive
How is it I am looking forward to gift it to my 14year son. He his a bass lover. If you can suggest me.
@@Thestar_coco great bass for the size and cost, and if that isn't enough you can always use the app to boost it. No regrets
You are incorrect about the partyboost for stereo it can only be used with the flip 6 but in party mode it can connect to all jbl speakers with partyboost
I bought two in the same week. Second week, one had the bluetooth go bad. Three months later, the battery charge circuit went bad in the other.
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.
I never own one before just got the flip 6 about 4 days ago and it’s super cool
3,4,YEAR'S AGO MY SISTER PURCHASE'D A SOUNDCORE, FLARE BLUETOOTH, SPEAKER! SHE BOUGH'T IT FOR ME
I have a flip 6. I would highly recommend it. I've dropped it couple times. 😨 No biggie. I really like jbl products 😁😁😁
Is the sound loud enough to be heard in 5 rooms?
@@prosenjitbhattacharya2649kinda the charge 5 does though
@@prosenjitbhattacharya2649yes
@@prosenjitbhattacharya2649 no. for a little more, get the Charge 5. Way bigger and capable of bigger sound. For low volume listening, such as on a desktop or for work/study, I find they are identical. When I'm outside with the fam having a cookout, no contest the Charge 5. Fidelity wise, the sound signature is the same. Output wise, the charge 5 is just bigger in every way. They are both awesome.
I’m in loved with my flip 6, way better from what I expected.🔥
I love the idea of the flip 6. I never owned a travel speaker. But it would be amazing to have a 1/4 20 thread so I can mount this to a tripod, like at the beach.
At 2:12 you mentioned it only connects to other flip sixes, correction: no.
It connects to anything with part boost right ?
@@harrisoncook530 yes, I’ve tested it myself.
yeah, he got that wrong, but it CAN only be a stereo pair if connected to other 6s but it can connect to other jbl speakers which have partyboost, just not stereo.
2:09 "But it can only pair to other flip 6's"
Not true, party boost works well between my flip 5 & 6.
I heard this and was like "Hang on a sec" haha. 😂
Bought the JBL flip 6 and charge 5 on Black Friday sale and both speakers are really good would recommend the charge 5 but if your low on money and looking for a cheap option the flip 6 is the way to go
Why don’t it charge it just stays in red
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.
Which one is louder
@@sufferyetgain same but charge has better bass in high volume
I googled and it says the charge 5 can connect wit flip 6. Any jbl’s tht have the party boost function can connect together
Yep
So in your opinion : would you go for flip 4 5 or 6 is it worth the update
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 🤔
Andrew is correct..the flip 4 is still what makes sense..
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
Can I use two identical JBL 4 and still use the JBL app to get the benefit of actual and authentic stereophonic effect? Help 😮
I just nought mine 2 hrs ago at Best Buy. I needed a speaker for around the house and for bedtime when sleeping. Just a tad pricy but worth it. I couldn't even begin to justify the sonos roam.
I just bought one and I like it. I also pair it to my flip 5 and jam out
Same. Me and my friends often connect them across devices. We often connect flip 5, flip 6 and charge 5
I'm watching with my Flip 6 😊
Got mine coming tomorrow. Best Buy had it for $80 a couple days ago. Looking forward to some summer tunes!
I bought five new ones for 100 bucks
I just got my flip 6 today. Charging it up before I use it.
Think I'll buy it after watching this 👍🏼 thanks
Just bought it today … I charge it and I’m ready to party baby !!!
Me, too. Excellent !
Just got a flip 6 watched the video with it, I just don’t know if I should have spent the extra $50 for the bigger one, because I will mostly use it outside by the pool so I want it to be able to get loud the flip 6 is good I just wonder if the bigger one is better for what I’ll be using it for
Where can I place the order directly?
i bought mine at my local target, but i ended up also getting the charge 5 and it is better for outdoor settings@@shobanjoshina7413
I prefer Marshall but most important for me is portability where this wins hands down
I got the Charge 5, love it
Ok :v
You mentioned it’s a mono speaker: does it play both channels to get the full sound, or does it choose a left or right channel to play, thereby losing some instrumentation on stereo recordings?
It will combine both channels into one full sound
Soo I have flip 5 should I buy this one?
So because it has no microphone, if I am playing music on my phone through the speaker, and somebody rings my phone, will I know if a call is coming through if I'm not looking at my phone? Thanks!
it will ring through the speaker but you can only answer using your phones microphones
I have had the JBL flip 5 and charge 3. Looking at getting the JBL flip 6. I like the JBL charge 5 but it is too heavy especially for me because I like to walk a lot. Just need something small and is price Worthy.
Flip 6 is the best for portability
I want to buy one for a rzr ima buy in the future will it be good with dirt and sand dunes?
DIRT AND SAND DUNES WHOOOOO
"Hi there, I recently bought a JBL Flip 6 and encountered a frustrating issue. When I leave it charging while turned on and disconnected from my phone, the power button starts blinking unexpectedly. Despite following all troubleshooting steps in the manual, the problem persists. Additionally, there's a battery calibration issue where the indicator shows full charge, then drops suddenly to half. Could this be a problem with the internal components? I'd appreciate any insights or advice on how to fix this. Thanks!"
I have Charge 4 woodland camo and 5 black they are not compatible.
Looking for either Flip 6 or Xtreme 3 but cannot decide which either one will be the camo.
Is it better the jbl charge 3 or the same ?
I fail the watch before you buy every time with anything I buy online😑
Wait, the partyboost only connects 2 jbl flip 6? You cant pair it with other jbl speakers? Im confused and feel pretty bummer
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
Where is the 'lab' part in the Product Lab? Don't you test these things? Also, you titled your video 'watch before you buy', but you didn't say anything that you couldn't just look up.
It’s basically the same as any other flip. Just the old one gets discontinued and they make it look a little different.
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.
My old Anker speaker gave up after a long life so I ordered one of these.
Will the flip six connect to the JBL party box 3 and 4 I have both of those in my tractor I’d like to put this on my dash if it will connect to my party box boom box, stereos
Software bug JBL flip 6.
Only On windows Laptop and Linux TV :- I have this issue so far, party mode don't work on either device.
It only working on Android phone, and Android TV box.
Didn't test on iPhone or other device.
After having the Flip 4 since launch and it now having a faulty battery it definetly might be time to get the flip 6
Try to reset it
@Iaiashgamer not gonna work battery has depleted so much since when I got it
@@Iaiashgamer plus I've already tried it
The battery wears out over time.
@nursemcfarlane6655 yea I figured it was that but it always had problems from when I got it
Can u pair it with a jbl charge 5 ??
Can you have it connected to a USB charger all the time and use it as a desktop speaker?
Just ordered in blue hope it's a good one
Wanted a video differentiating between fossil gen 5 and 5e
Flip 6 or something like tronsmart bang?
My flip 6 gets warm after 1hr of playing, Around 37-38 °c. Is that normal? Thank you for the answer
I have this speeker and I am obsest I love it highly sugest
I recently bought this speaker. Looks nice. Sounds good. But no 3,5mm contact. WHY WHY WHY NOT???
Even Clip3 has it. Taking in consider the risk with bluetooth, connecting the speaker with cable to the smartphone is very appreciated when you are within range of other unknown people.
Because it's not 1998
What risks with Bluetooth?
@@DarrenBoxhall
Read about it. There is a risk for being hacked when the phone is open to other nearby.
Hello anybody home? It’s already 2023.
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.
@@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.
The app is hard to use and it seems that I have had to pair every time, but they sound very good
vs the charge 5? If you link will it be stereo then?
Just got my flip 6 today and my bass sounds like it's rattling just a little only with certain frequencies. Is this normal? Kinda disappointed cuz my 8 year old Bose Mini II SoundLink doesn't do this
Does anyone know if the flip 6 rotates like the JBL Flip 5? The 4 doesn’t have that problem.
It doesn't, it has a block on its bottom to prevent it from rolling
Hallo all. How a can know wich is original?
Is it an actual stereo pair?? Or just two mono speakers.
Great question
hello you recommended flip 6 or charge 3
Flip 6
Flip 6 or charge 5?
Flip 6
i literaly wached like 20 videos abut the flip 6 cus i want one but i aint got the money for it
My Flip 4's batteries all died after about 2 years. I had 4 Flip 4 speakers. All gone. HORRIBLE!!! The two charge 3 speakers I bought at the same time still work though and they are about 4 years old.
That usb port has no cover, which traps dirt and sand in my mountain biking ride.
I'm undecided between The New Beats Pill to the Flip 6
Get the Flip 6 it's cheaper and it sounds really good , i just bought the flip 6 and I'm very impressed by it.
Can you steam from TH-cam and hear it through this speaker? Sorry for the dumb question 😢
yes
Is volume louder then 4 and 5 can the bass be adjusted or does it come standard
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
I'll say I know these kinds of speakers can last for years being I do have the jbl flip 3 and when it first came out in 2015 it's like some of these speakers are still in circulation and most are probably still working today being my jbl flip 3 is still in working conditions but a little beat up
I bought the flip 6 and it won’t turn on. Left it on charge for 8 hours and still nothing
Ok so it’s an adequate portable speaker but doesn’t live up to the hype. The battery on full charge didn’t make 9 hours of play. This is a new first time using product.
Flip 6 amazing sound and clarity
i love jbl..
I got my flip 6 free - hope it’s good
Thanks for the great review. 😊
How much it
Can it play over usb-c or just for charging?
its just for charging
@@justinlehto445 Thanks, I decided to build a shelf under the desk for cables and put a sound bar there
@@jackdoesengineering2309 good idea 😮💨
Does the flip six can pair with flip five?
It pairs yes but in party mode not stereo.
music name pls
does it matter which side do i flip it too?
This comment made laugh harder than i shouldve 😭
Going to retire my flip 4 i have been using since 2017 with this
No mention of aux 3.5mm, how will i play my ipod?
Get a JBL GO2. IT has an aux port and I like it sooooo much better than the Flip 6.
The flip 6 can connect to other jbl speakers (with party boost) get you facts straight
OK can I party boost with my JBL boombox 3?
@@kiwimon3204 the party boxes don't have party boost
@@hiltonavis3795 can it link together with the JBL Boombox 3
Mine gets warm Is it normal ??? Any on els when play Loud music
It's normal
my 6 connects to my 5 with the party boost
Sound test?
How to turn up base
I can party boost whit flip 5 too so not only 6 it’s 6/5. 4idk
Flip 6 or Charge 5?
The Big JBL logos make the speakers look cheap
I had just seen one of these at a local pawn shop, they were asking 65.00 and I can buy a brand new one in the box off eBay for the same exact price! One reason I stay away from pawn shops.
No warranty coverage on an Ebay purchase, and watch out for knock-offs. I'm not putting down Ebay, as I do use it quite a bit.
That utterly a great review.. and the video quality is top notch 👌
Also sounds really loud Ina closed bookbag
Watching with my charge5 better than flip 6 but because i love jbl i want to buy this too 😅
is this good for boats? because speakers i use arent as loud when i’m on the water
I dropped mine in a lake and didn't find it for like an hour and a half pulled it out and it worked fine.
@@Pink_F that wasnt the question at all
@@crown1096 so being waterproof doesn't make it good for boats?
Mine plays the music slowed down , what’s wrong
One thing I think is a design fault is the way it sits...the JBL logo sits on the top, so anytime you want to adjust the volume or pair the speaker you have to pick it up. Or sit it vertically, which I don't feel is the best way to sit the speaker. The other bluetooth speakers I have sit with the volume and connect button on top, for easy access.
No you don't! Stop lying!
@@crliny1 Well, I finally put stickers next to/over the volume and Bluetooth buttons as I find them hard to see.Just don't have this issue with other Bluetooth speakers I have a Bose and a Dell bt speaker. But I am sure you are just messing with me saying I am lying!
I watched this whilst having my 3rd poo of the day 😊
Watching this using my flip 6
I watched with flip 5
It has like 9 diferent colours...
Jack Tunnel
And yet, no 3.5mm jack for reasons unexplained.
Thanks!
The charging connection is weird. God forbid they use a USB connector.
