JBL Charge 6 Portable Waterproof and Drop-Proof Speaker

Thank you for your inquiry. Our JBL Charge 6 cannot be used for phone calls because it does not have a built-in microphone. While it can connect to your phone via Bluetooth for playing music, it lacks the necessary microphone for making calls. We recommend the Onyx Studio 8 as a better option, as it includes a call-handling feature.

Thank you for your inquiry. Our JBL PartyLight Stick is designed for JBL PartyBox speakers that has JBL Auracast.

Thank you for your inquiry. In efforts to reduce the environmental impact of our electronic equipment, we decided to remove the charging cable in our newest models as most consumers already have them in their homes that they can use to charge our portable speakers.

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, it is not possible to connect the JBL Charge 3 to the Charge 5 or Charge 6. The Charge 3 uses the Connect+ feature, while the Charge 5 supports the PartyBoost feature, and the Charge 6 supports the Auracast feature.

Yes, the JBL Charge 6 is compatible with the Pixel 9, as they can both connect using Bluetooth and the speaker is designed to work with any Bluetooth-enabled device. ~Ivone

Thanks for your question. Yes, two JBL Charge 6 speakers can create stereo sound effects when connected together via the JBL Portable app.

Thanks for your question. Our JBL Charge 6 does not have a dedicated microphone input, so you can’t connect a microphone to it.

Thanks for your question. The USB-C port on our JBL Charge 6 is designated for charging the speaker and can also serve as a power bank to charge other devices. If you need more help, please contact us directly at: https://support.jbl.com/us/en/#contact

We do not specify max SPL for this model. We could do this, of course, but in general this figure is totally misleading, since it is not a standardized value. Most companies that specify this, will do so at the frequency where the reading is highest. The problem arises when you listen to them, and this is where our speakers shine. You can play on a speaker with an extremely high SPL max figure, and compare it to ours. Suddenly you will find out that the very loud speaker does not have any bass at all, and our speaker has deep, well-defined, dynamic low bass. This is because SPL for consumer speakers is often stated at for example 1.000 Hz, or not specified concerning frequency, unlike professional equipment. Since bass is not perceived by our ears as "noise", the box that is loud in the midrange will sound loud and measure loud, whereas powerful deep bass does not, but requires a lot more energy.

Thanks for your question. Our JBL Charge 6 and JBL Pulse 5 can not be paired together as they use different wireless connections. Our Charge 6 features Auracast, while our Pulse 5 uses JBL PartyBoost. These two systems are not compatible, meaning you won’t be able to link the speakers for synchronized playback. To connect multiple JBL speakers, they must support the same pairing protocol, such as JBL Flip 7, Xtreme 4, Clip 5, or Go 4 that supports Auracast.
