JBL Charge 6 Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black (JBLCHARGE6BLK) is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 313.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from The next great Charge speaker from JBL [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had 3 previous Charge speakers and to be honest, it's probably the best model series from JBL and it's not even close. The speaker is not too big, not too small, has a TON of battery life, can charge other speakers and phones, and still provide HUGE sound. Solid, tight bass, seriously big volume, it's portable but not obnoxiously large. It's the perfect speaker to sit between the Flip series and the Extreme. Pairing it took all of 5 seconds and it was ready to go. The handle is comfortable and easy to install and remove. I honestly couldn't be happier with the versatility of this speaker. My favorite JBL so far. Highly recommend!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Great sound, but paint is already coming off… The sound quality is really good, and honestly I’d give it 5 stars for that alone. But I’m annoyed because I bought a custom JBL Charge 6, got it just 9 days ago, and the paint is already coming off. It’s supposed to be waterproof, so why is the paint peeling just from being outside in the snow? I didn’t even get it wet besides that. The paint SHOULD NOT be coming off this easy. I’m really upset about it. The sound is great, but don’t waste your money on the custom design because the paint will come off really easily if it gets even a little wet. I learned my lesson.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from JBL Charge 6 doesn’t disappoint. Love it!! Just upgraded from the JBL Charge 5 to the JBL Charge 6 and all I can say is wow. The JBL charge 6 doesn’t disappoint with a slightly larger woofer which helps deliver deeper, more impactful bass. They have also increased the max output from 40 watts to 45 watts. Absolutely love the fact that they have added the carrying handle which makes it more portable. Definitely worth the upgrade especially at the price I paid. If you’re think about purchasing a portable speaker, I would highly recommend the JBL charge 6 as it’s a great mid sized speaker that you cant go wrong with the upgrades that JBL have added making it more useful and portable. Love it!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Biker speaker. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love biking and was looking for a speaker that was not to big but had big sound. It fit on my bike perfectly in the bottle holder. Bluetooth connected quick and was prefect for bike app and playing music. Battery life well exceeded longevity for a 75 mile ride which takes 6 hours plus hours. The voice clarity made it very easy to hear app driven stats. Mid way through my ride it started a raining snow mix which tested the speakers ability to work in the weather. Overall this speaker checks all the boxes for my riding entertainment while on long rides. Great sound ,great battery life and no worry if the weather gets out of hand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Sound Quality What an amazing Speaker!!! Actually cannot fault it! I've had so many speakers over the years that sound awful or give up working after a couple of charges......but not this one! Sounds amazing, any style of music sounds clear and professional! Love the app that goes with this also, can change bass setup, music style setup etc! This speaker is suitable for chilled days in the sun, or late night parties with friends and families! It's an around good solid product to have in the home or even in the professional environment! 100% the best sounding and working portable speaker I've ever owned! Absolutely love this product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Charge Speaker Just perfect! I was looking to buy a charger and give a try on this one. Perfect speaker. Not too big, but not small either. Really sturdy material. Can charge phones, great battery. Once I pair with my phone, instantly the JBL app pop to download, so easy to pair and configure. The sound? Is the best, perfect clear and goes really loud if you want, you can't imagine de quality off this "little" speaker... Is insane. Cames with a handle and is shock and water proof. Perfect for our parties. Totally, 100% I recommend this JBL speaker. They know what they do 😄

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic upgrade! I got the Charge 6 a few weeks ago and have loved everything. The packaging is great and easy to unpack. It's clear and easy to see when it's charging and the battery lasts a really long time. It's loud enough to over power my noisy work place which is my standard for if a speaker is loud enough. My old bose wasn't cutting the mustard but I've always been impressed with JBL so came back and I'm not dissapointed in the least. The app is a great tool also to tune things just how you like them. I was also very greatful one day for the reverse battery charging feature when I found myself out and about with my phones battery low.

Questions & Answers

If a pair of these charge 6 speakers are paired together, how far apart can the speakers be and still play the same music off of one phone?

Asked by: Bomberojt
Thank you for your inquiry. The JBL Charge 6 supports pairing with another Charge 6 speaker via Auracast technology. Similar to Bluetooth, this connection offers a reliable range of up to 10 meters (approximately 30 feet) when there is a clear line of sight between the source device and the speakers.

Can this speaker sit on either end while playing and not fall over?

Asked by: Twebbs
Thank you for your question. Our JBL Charge 6 is designed to sit horizontally on a flat surface for the best stability and sound performance. If you prefer a portable speaker that stands upright, you may want to explore our JBL Flip series or JBL Grip, which are built for vertical placement.

CAN YOU PLAY A USB STICK?

Asked by: SIS5
Thanks for your question. Our JBL Charge 6 does not support playing music directly from a USB flash drive. The USB port is for charging devices, such as a phone, or for lossless audio playback, which allows you to plug in your laptop or other audio device. However, in order for it to work, you need a compatible lossless audio source.
