What is the success of a product? It is very indicative to see how many generations it can last. The iPhone can reach 13, which is a good example. Among JBL’s portable Bluetooth speakers, Flip is a leader. The latest JBL Flip 6 is the 6th generation product, which is very impressive. Of course, the launch of multiple generations of products can easily give people the feeling that the medicine is the same after a new soup. The iPhone is also a good example. Frankly speaking, it is easy to have this illusion when you pick up the Flip 6, but after using it, you will understand that the details have a more perfect design.

The appearance of the Flip series has been roughly finalized since Flip 3, and the design of Flip 6 is also in the same tone, maintaining its high recognition. In fact, in terms of appearance, the difference between Flip 6 and the previous generation Flip 5 is minimal. It is just 10g heavier and a little smaller. However, this generation Flip 6 uses a newly upgraded two-way speaker system, and the unit design has changed a lot. Starting from Flip 4, two 40mm units were used side by side. Because the distance was too close, there was a problem of mutual interference. When it came to Flip 5, a 44mm × 80mm hybrid full-range unit was used, and occasionally the sound felt unclear. The two-way speaker system of Flip 6 actually brings back the dual-unit design, but the difference this time is that the 45mm × 80mm curved unit is responsible for low and mid-frequency, while the independent 16mm tweeter only handles high frequencies, so the sound will sound much clearer and cleaner. As usual, passive radiators are reserved on both sides, which makes the low-frequency volume better and has better extension. The protection specification has also been slightly upgraded from IPX7 to IP67, finally waterproof and dustproof, which makes it safer to use on the beach. There are 9 colors to choose from, including black, blue, gray, red (first launched), and green, pink, white, lake green, camouflage (launched in succession). Some of the colors have appeared in previous generations, so it is not too surprising.

A total of 9 colors are available, the first to be launched are black, blue, gray and red.

The appearance design is not far from the previous one, but it is a little smaller than the previous one.
One of the selling points of the JBL Flip series is that multiple Flip speakers can be connected in series. Flip 6 is no exception. At least two Flip speakers can be connected in series to form Party Mode or Stereo Mode. The former simply uses multiple speakers to output sound at the same time to enhance the volume, while the latter allows the speakers to output the sound effects of the left and right channels respectively, thereby achieving a stereo effect. In addition to using the buttons on the fuselage to connect, you can also use a dedicated mobile phone app. I think it is easier to use and more responsive. When setting Stereo Mode, you can quickly switch between left and right channels, making the setting more convenient. The details to mention also include that its Bluetooth has been officially upgraded to 5.1, which will theoretically be more stable and more power-saving. It can also connect two devices at the same time, which will have greater flexibility in application. The charging interface is USB-C, and there is also a charging protection function. If the charging connector detects water, salt or any other chemical substances, a prompt sound will be issued to remind the user to unplug the charging cable.

JBL Flip 6 is not a Hi-Fi Bluetooth speaker priced at more than 2,000 yuan, but the new product has a clean sound base, which is quite impressive. The three frequencies are average and the separation is reasonable. The low-frequency rendering is less than expected, but the volume is still sufficient. The most outstanding thing is that the analytical ability and details are significantly improved under the clean sound base. Then use Party Mode and Stereo Mode for testing. Use the mobile phone App to operate. The setting is simple and easy. You can switch from Party Mode to Stereo Mode with one click. The speed of identifying nearby speakers is fast, and novices can easily pair them. Party Mode is a simple series connection. There is no sound delay between the speakers, and the connection remains stable. The overall feeling is satisfactory. The author personally prefers Stereo Mode. Only two speakers are needed to provide an excellent stereo feeling. The sense of space and separation are significantly improved. However, users cannot adjust the EQ by themselves in Stereo Mode, which has little impact on the sound quality, but it is a little less interesting.

The price of JBL Flip 6 is not high, the sound quality is quite bright, the volume is also very sufficient, and with its IP67 waterproof and dustproof specification, it can be used with relative peace of mind for daily use or even on the beach. Because of the low price, I strongly recommend buying two at a time. Party Mode can be used outdoors to increase the volume, and Stereo Mode can be used at home to enhance the sound experience with stereo sound, which is a very desirable approach.
