Should work better

Derrick . 24 days ago

I bought this to go along with. The Flip 5 and use in party mode. Well upon connecting, it skips, static, and has a hard time staying connected together. Sometimes they work great, and most of time it takes several attempts to hook them up and it still goes in and out while listening. They are pricey little speakers and if I knew the quality would be terrible when connecting them, I would’ve never have bought this second one. Save your money and buy Sony or Bose.

Excellent sound

cabinfeverclay . 24 days ago

Love my Flip 6! My old Flip 2 no longer held a charge after 11 years so it was time to upgrade. The sound is spectacular on the Flip 6! Bluetooth connects immediately and the speaker is quite stylish as well. I will be ordering another soon.

Bad quality

BigSal . 27 days ago

I personalized a speaker for my daughter as a Christmas gift. On the speaker i added a picture of her dog. In the sample the picture looked absolutely perfect, but when I received the speaker the real live picture look really faded. You cant really tell what the picture is. I am very dissatisfied and i am even embarrassed to give her the gift. I did pay a lot of money, so i am going to anyway.

Don’t rush me

tesgirl . 3 months ago

I would give this a five star rating but when somebody pressures you to give a rating before you barely even use your product I’m not cool with that.. So far I love the personalization . The product seems powerful

Disappointed ☹️

Chelo4989 . 4 months ago

I bought this for my husband's birthday and it was well but the battery doesn't last more than 3 hours. I'm very disappointed because it mentions that it can be on for up to 12 hours and that's not true!

Customer Support - 4 months ago

Thank you for your feedback. The published up-to playtime is the maximum battery time when listening at background levels. Turning up the volume and music with more bass will reduce the playtime, much like a phone battery when you brighten the screen. Please try charging your speaker to 100%, then play music at a low volume and without bass boosted. If the speaker lasts close to 12 hours, the battery is working fine. If it is less than 90% of the playtime, it is possible that the battery is losing its capacity. Please contact us for further assistance.

Bobbie L . Jan 12, 2026

can I connect to lcd tv via cable

Answer from Customer Support7 days

Thanks for your question. Our JBL Flip 6 does not support a wired connection; it is designed to be connected via Bluetooth with mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. Please note that pairing this with your TV may result in some slight audio delay latencies as the speaker doesn't have low-latency codecs.

Can I pair a flip 4 with a flip 6?

Answer from Customer Support29 days

Thanks for your question. No, you cannot pair a JBL Flip 4 with a JBL Flip 6 using PartyBoost or Connect+. Our JBL Flip 4 uses JBL Connect+, while our JBL Flip 6 uses the PartyBoost feature, and these two technologies are not compatible with each other. That means you can’t link them to play audio simultaneously from the same source.

does this have a magnet to stick to a golf cart?

Answer from Customer Support1 month

Thanks for your question. Our JBL Flip 6 does not have a built-in magnet, so it can not stick directly to a golf cart. You have an option to purchase a separate mount or holder to secure it.

can you still play music while it is charging

Answer from Customer Support4 months

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, our JBL Flip 6 can play music while charging. This feature is built into its design, allowing you to enjoy audio playback and charge the device at the same time when it's connected to a suitable power source. However, please note that using it in this way may prolong the overall charging time.
