Little speaker, big sound
Really impressed with this little speaker! The sound is clear, the bass is surprisingly good and it gets pretty loud for its size. Easy to take anywhere and perfect for cranking up your favourite tunes. The neighbours might not love it as much as my son does!

Great image quality and easy to use
I've been using the JBL Charge 6 for a few weeks now and have been really impressed. The sound is clear with strong bass, and it easily fills a bedroom or outdoor space without distortion. The battery life has also been excellent, lasting through several days of casual listening before needing a recharge. I mainly use it around the house and when spending time outdoors, and the portable design makes it easy to carry around. The build quality feels solid and durable. Overall, a great Bluetooth speaker if you're after powerful sound, long battery life, and reliable performance. I will recommend it to anyone looking for a quality portable speaker. Value for money.

Portability rating
8/10 - easy to carry thanks to its lightweight build and integrated handle

Excellent for camping, backyard gatherings and poolside use thanks to its IP68 protection and durable build

Q: Can the Charge 6 charge my phone while music plays?
A: Yes. JBL Charge 6 can charge a phone or other small USB device from its built-in powerbank while music is playing. It is suited to topping up smaller devices on the go, not higher-power gear that usually needs more charging output.
Q: Will Auracast link this speaker with any Bluetooth speaker?
A: No. Auracast on JBL Charge 6 is for linking with compatible speakers that also support Auracast. Standard Bluetooth still covers phones and tablets, but multi-speaker linking is not a universal feature across every Bluetooth speaker.
Q: Is the IP68 rating enough for poolside and rainy outdoor use?
A: Yes. JBL Charge 6 has an IP68 dustproof and waterproof rating, so it suits poolside use, rain and dusty campsites. That protection helps with outdoor accidents, but it is not a floating speaker, and the charging port should be dry before recharging.
Q: Does the built-in powerbank charge laptops as well as phones?
A: No. JBL Charge 6 is designed to top up phones and other small USB devices from its built-in powerbank. It is not positioned as a laptop charger, because larger devices usually need higher charging power than a portable speaker provides.
Q: Is JBL Charge 6 good as a main speaker indoors?
A: Yes, for casual listening. JBL Charge 6 can fill a bedroom, patio or small outdoor area well, but it is built around portability and durability rather than a fixed home hi-fi setup. Buyers chasing more refined room sound may prefer a home model.
Q: How easy is JBL Charge 6 to carry on camping trips?
A: JBL Charge 6 is easy to move between rooms, the backyard and the campsite because it has a lightweight design and a carry handle. It is still a fuller-size portable speaker, so it takes more bag space than an ultra-compact travel speaker.
