Best Speaker in the Game

Ivan cruz . 8 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What I love about the JBL Charge 6 is that it extremely lightweight, durable, and loud! Running around as a college student has me taking my speaker everywhere with no charge; however, this speaker never lets me down. Do not get me started on how durable it is as well. Plenty of times I have accidentally dropped this speaker with no damage felt or seen.

I had other JBL products and I don't regret them, they are all great. I've always really liked the brand and love all the products I have. It's all great. Great sound, great connectivity, and great battery life.

I'm happy I purchased this and appreciated that JBL teamed up with id.me for a military discount. I'm so grateful JBL allows customers to customize the speaker with a personalized picture, it makes it so much more meaningful. I'm so happy with my purchase! The sound quality is amazing as well!

Great speaker for size

Acguy . 18 days ago

I love my speaker for its size. It sounds perfect for what I need. I go to my backyard. Smoke a cigar and listen to my music. This is a great little speaker money well spent.

Personalized, powerful, clean, crisp sound.

FloatTribe . 21 days ago

Absolutely love this JBL Chsrge 6 speaker. The sound quality is amazing! Clean, crisp and powerful. And now with the new custom personalized design feature, it’s the cherry on top! Battery life is insane, you can listen for hours & hours without missing a beat.

Excellent sound

1stjblpurchase . 24 days ago

This speaker appealed to us because of the drop proof feature. Luckily we have not tested that one out yet. It was super easy to start up and link to our phones and the sound is pretty incredible, especially considering the small size.

It is Everything You Would Expect from JBL & More!

KKTM . 28 days ago

We purchased this speaker to use on our golf cart! It is perfect. Fantastic sound quality. Plenty of volume, even traveling at 30mph. The handle works great for attaching it to our cart. I would highly recommend this product.

Terrible sound

Dinnerrmint . 1 month ago

I bought this speaker around March and since then it’s made a clicking crack sound once it’s played loud for long (maybe 15 minutes) I would say a speaker with a 28 hour battery life or whatever it claims and at that price point should be able to meet standards. Disappointed to say the least. It’s embarrassing to bring my speaker anywhere because it can’t play for more than 5 minutes

Customer Support - 1 month ago

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We recommend connecting it to a different device or resetting the unit by pressing and holding the volume + and the play button until the speaker turns off.

RyuTakeshi . Oct 14, 2025

Can this output audio via usb cable only, without having to be wirelessly connected to the computer?

Answer from Customer Support10 days

Thank you for your question! Yes, you can connect your JBL Charge 6 to your computer using a USB 2.0 cable. However, this cable is not included in the box, so you'll need to purchase one separately. For detailed instructions on how to successfully connect your device, please refer to the quick start guide available on the JBL Charge 6 product page.

I can’t connect with the JBL portable app

Answer from Customer Support19 days

Thanks for reaching out. Here are some troubleshooting steps that might help isolate the issue, and do the following in this order. First, go into the app and clear the Cache, then uninstall the app from your device. Next, forget or unpair the JBL Charge 6 from the Bluetooth list on your device, then reboot the device/phone twice (this is an important step, as it ensures that the device has gone through an entire on/off cycle without ever seeing the app or Bluetooth pairing, so all remnants are removed from the phone). Third, reset the speaker. After that, pair them to your device. Play some music to ensure a good Bluetooth connection. Lastly, download and install the app, open the app, and allow all permissions (the app will not function without permissions). When the app opens, it should find your speaker and function properly. Please know that we can not guarantee the use of our app when using Beta versions of Operating Systems. If the issue remains, please contact us.

Can the charge 6 pair with charge 4?

Answer from Customer Support1 month

Thanks for your question. Our JBL Charge 6 cannot be paired with a JBL Charge 4 since they use different connection features.
