JBL charge 6

Drewmanski . 10 days ago

Been using it since purchasing it several weeks ago. Also daughters received one and love it. Sounds great, loud enough to fill a large room, base and treble sound true, easy blue tooth connect, and quick charge.

Personalization

Frusher . 13 days ago

JBL products are top notch and we have many. My experience with the customization was not a good one. The placement of the customization was way off from the simulator and the print quality was not consistent. Most was so light it was not legible. This was to be a gift intended to be displayed on a desk. I was embarrassed by to give it as a gift so I ended up using a sharpie marker to make it look better and am using it in my garage. I want to make clear the JBL audio product is top notch I only had issues with the personalization.

Customer Support - 13 days ago

Thank you for your feedback, and it is not the experience we want you to have with our personalized JBL Charge 6. Since the speaker has already been marked with a Sharpie, we’re no longer able to review or provide a refund. If it hadn’t been altered, we could have looked into a solution. If you need further assistance, please contact us, and we would be happy to assist you.

Custom Color Paint Chipping

Natters22 . 14 days ago

While we love the speaker we didn’t love the custom color option. The day my nephew opened his gift the paint was already chipping off.

AWESOME!!!!

BABYBOO . 14 days ago

This was probably one of the best things I have ever bought. I love music and this thing kicks. I listen to everything from Robert Johnson to Slipnot. I could not recommend it higher. I cannot wait to take it on a month trip and just chill with it.

Improved Performance

Bubba Aura Cast . 15 days ago

Finally had this out and tested a few times w/ others to confirm AuraCast is an upgrade from our xtreme 2's. Connection seems to be better (more consistent, better distance). Tied 2 together in our basement for an all day gathering - both performed ideally and barely had an impact on the batteries.

Wow!

Jay_23 . 17 days ago

Before buying the JBL Charge 6, I did extensive research on some of the best Bluetooth speakers around, including even some of the high end models that were once flagship and now slightly more affordable. For what I needed - compact, dust and waterproof being a bonus, and the trusted quality of JBL, I couldn't find anything better for the price point. Wow, what astonishing sound! The balance of bass, mids and highs is really something of beauty... a great science and clever engineering has gone into making the JBL Charge 6. If anyone is considering it, just get one, you won't be disappointed in the slightest!

Excellent Quality as Usual

Thateyebrowguy . 19 days ago

My wife and I have used JBL speakers in our house for quite a while. Her ten year old Flip model finally kicked the bucket and it was time for a new one. This new Charge did not disappoint. Very happy with the purchase and sound quality. It should hopefully last us just as many years, if not more.

CAN YOU PLAY A USB STICK?

Answer from Customer Support1 month

Thanks for your question. Our JBL Charge 6 does not support playing music directly from a USB flash drive. The USB port is for charging devices, such as a phone, or for lossless audio playback, which allows you to plug in your laptop or other audio device. However, in order for it to work, you need a compatible lossless audio source.

can I use this device for a phone call?

Answer from Customer Support1 month

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.
