Audio Performanceīeing outdoor speakers, the Bose SoundLink Flex is powerful and can deliver a fairly loud audio output. The 10+ hours of battery life makes these devices apt for the outdoors, whether it’s a hiking trip, camping trip, or poolside party. The folks at Sound Guys tested this speaker and found it to last just a little over 9 hours. It still has a decent battery life and can last up to 12 hours on moderate volume.

If we talk numbers, it takes just 4 hours for a full charge.Īt the same time, the JBL Flip 6 doesn’t bundle a huge battery. At the same time, the USB-C charging fastens the charging process. Provided you do not blast music at high volume and have a good connection, it should last you that long. Thankfully, JBL and Bose did add a sizeable battery to these speakers.

Hence a longer battery life on these portable Bluetooth speakers seems apt. The JBL Flip 6 and the SoundLink Flex are built for the outdoors. As you may already know, this option is missing in the Bose SoundLink Flex. The best part is that you can tweak the EQ, per your preference. However, note that it will switch to stereo only when you pair it with a JBL speaker of the same gen. You can pair it with another JBL speaker to amplify the volume output. And like its counterpart above, it also has a PartyBoost Mode. The JBL speaker also comes with its own JBL Portable app. It means your phone must always be connected to the speaker for this to work. However, it’s not a smart speaker and doesn’t have Wi-Fi. The good news is that you can enable the Party Mode directly from the speaker.Īt the same time, the Voice Prompts allow you to use voice assistants like Apple’s Siri and Google Assistant through your phone. The former makes it easy to connect the speaker to other Bose speakers for an amplified sound. The companion app, Bose Connect, brings a handful of features, including Party Mode and Voice Prompts.
Most portable speakers come with a smart companion app, and the SoundLink Flex is no exception. However, JBL has excluded high-quality Bluetooth codecs like aptX or LDAC from this portable Bluetooth speaker. The new version of Bluetooth has a comparatively better range and bandwidth. Regarding connectivity, the JBL 6 comes bundled with Bluetooth 5.1. On top of that, you do not have to worry about sand and grit getting stuck behind the grille. And this makes it perfect for beach parties. Unlike the SoundLink Flex, this one can also survive a dip in salt water. One of the best things about this JBL speaker is its IP67 rating. If we talk numbers, it weighs around 1.12 lbs, and you can easily carry it in your tote bag or outdoor bag. Like its counterpart, the Flip 6 is also ‘almost’ lightweight. The grille goes around the device, except for the spine, which bundles the Power button. It has the same cylindrical look with plastic bumpers on either side. The JBL Flip 6 looks very similar to its predecessor – JBL Flip 5. However, the folks at CNET felt that the connectivity was solid and the speaker rarely dropped the connection.
So that’s a little bummer for SoundLink Flex. The latest crop of portable speakers sports Bluetooth 5.1 or Bluetooth 5.2. For now, the SoundLink Flex comes with Bluetooth 4.2. When it comes to connectivity, unfortunately, Bose has still stayed with the older version of Bluetooth. And irrespective of the device’s placement, it will balance the sound. Interestingly, the PositionIQ tech inside adjusts the audio output as per the placement.
It’s a versatile device and can be laid on its back or propped up. It’s worth noting that while the silicone layer adds a smooth finish, it also attracts dust and lint. At the same time, the smooth silicone exterior does its duty of absorbing the impact of minor bumps and falls. It barely weighs 1.23lb and doesn’t add much bulk, especially if you want to carry it on your hiking trip. Though it’s a hardy speaker, it’s lightweight and portable. Interestingly, it can also float on water. The IP67 rating makes it safe from water and dust damage.
And like its predecessor, it boasts a solid build.
