You can daisy chain up to 100 speakers in this way. You can either sync them to all play the same song, or split it so one speaker handles the left channel and one the right, for a greater sense of scale. Like the Flips, it can connect wirelessly to other JBL speakers thanks to JBL's PartyBoost mode (though not the Charge 4, which uses the older Connect+ technology). There is also Bluetooth 5.1 rather than 4.2 on the Charge 4, which gives you greater range and a more robust wireless connection. These units both have dedicated power amplification – 30W for the woofer and 10W for the highs.

The 52 x 90mm bass driver is a couple of millimetres wider than Charge 4's, and there’s a new 20mm tweeter. The exterior has also been overhauled: the ends of its barrel-like bodywork boast a slightly more robust rubberised reinforcement, while the speaker itself is a whole 1mm taller, 2mm deeper, 3mm wider and 5g heavier than its older brother. It's now more durable, for one – its IP67 rating means not only can it survive being dunked in a metre of water for 30 minutes, it's also completely dust-tight. That equals the Charge 4, but there are plenty of improvements as well. The battery is a monster 7500mAh, which is good for 20 hours of uninterrupted listening.
Like its predecessor, it doubles as a portable battery pack, charging up your smartphone or tablet – the clue's in the name. The Charge 5 is the latest in the Charge line-up. As you'll see, they're very different beasts to a JBL Flip. The Flips are easily portable, but JBL makes much bigger Bluetooth speakers too, such as the JBL Charge and JBL Xtreme speakers. That's a little pricier than the Flip 5, but given the improvements, it's worth it. The Flip 6 comes in Dusty Pink, Grey Stone, River Teal, Fiesta Red, Ocean Blue, Midnight Black, Steel White, Forest Green and Squad. And it has the same PartyBoost feature (which lets you wirelessly pair it with other JBL speakers – including the Flip 5 – for a louder sound) and same 12-hour battery life.įinally, the colourways are also new.
The Bluetooth has been upgraded, from version 4.2 on the Flip 5 to 5.1. That means it has the same waterproof rating as the Flip 5 (surviving full submersion in up to a metre of water for 30 minutes), while also being completely dust-tight.

It's also had a minor upgrade in terms of durability, now being rated IP67 (the Flip 5 was IPX7). These give tunes added depth and more power. It has the same racetrack-shaped driver as the Flip 5, but now has a separate tweeter and dual passive radiators. At the start of September, JBL announced the Flip 6, which is an upgrade on the Flip 5 both inside and out. Let's start with arguably the most popular JBL wireless speakers.
