JBL has introduced its Flip 6 portable wireless speaker in India. It will be a successor to the JBL Flip 5, which was launched way back in 2019. The JBL Flip 6 retains some good elements of its predecessor and brings some additional features. The brand says that its latest offering is built with quality materials and is waterproof and dustproof. It adorns new colours and a big logo to differentiate it from its previous model.
Vikram Kher, Vice President, Lifestyle, HARMAN India, said, “JBL Flip 6 offers a bold new logo design, more powerful than its predecessors and comes armed with the latest in cutting edge JBL sound technology”. Kher added that it offers features such as PartyBoost, and the “revolutionary racetrack driver”. Additionally, it “adds a separate tweeter and dual passive radiators to deliver your kind of music with even greater depth and power”.
JBL Flip 6: Features, Specifications
The JBL Flip 6 features dual passive radiators and a racetrack inspired woofer that promises to deliver a powerful sound and punchy bass. The portable speaker now gets a separate tweeter powered by a dedicated 10-watt amplifier for better performance. The famed PartyBoost feature utilises Bluetooth v5.1 to connect this portable speaker to other wireless devices for a stereo sound experience. To compare, the JBL Flip 5 came with Bluetooth v4.2.
The JBL Flip 6 can be controlled via the JBL portable app. You get a three-band equaliser to play with and adjust the sound as per your preference. The device now comes with an IP67 rated body for dust and water resistance, while it came with only a water-resistant IPX7 rating when it was first launched. Furthermore, the Type-C charging connector gets a unique protection feature. It senses any liquid and alerts the user to unplug the charger to avoid any damage. The JBL Flip 6 packs in a 17.28Wh battery under its hood that promises to offer up to 12 hours of music playback. It can be charged fully in 2.5 hours.
JBL Flip 6: Price, Availability
The JBL Flip 6 comes with a price tag of ₹13,999. It is available for purchase via Amazon and JBL’s website in India. It comes in Ocean Blue, Midnight Black, and Squad colour options.
