The JBL Flip 6 was praised by expert testers for its outstanding portability and neutral sound profile. The testing team from SoundGuys credited its bass levels and noted that the vocals were clear. They also liked its user-friendly JBL Connect app, while analysts from Techradar confirmed during their music tests that the speaker got loud enough to fill a room. They were happy that it could pair up to 100 speakers and that its battery could last up to 12 hours at moderate volume. The speaker doesn’t have RGB lighting like the JBL PartyBox 100 does, but it is much easier to move around with.

Still, reviewers felt that the Flip 6 was not the best pick for movies and videos since it couldn’t play stereo content independently. They also lamented its lack of a speakerphone functionality and missing voice assistant support. It also doesn’t have WiFi connectivity.
