    Disappointed with the Bass Performance of the JBL Charge 6

    As a long-time JBL user, I was disappointed with the JBL Charge 6. The sound quality is clear, but the bass is much weaker than I expected compared to other JBL speakers I've owned. I even compared it with the display unit in-store and felt the same way. Unfortunately, it didn't deliver the punchy JBL sound I was hoping for.

    Fantastic speaker

    We love this speaker, purchased to use while away camping for my Husband for this Birthday. Great to hook up to Spotify and radio stations to listen to the footy. Light weight and handle is great, so far it's good (as read reviews that they can break). Battery life also appears good (we have only used it once however on a 2 week trip). Loved the colour with the orange highlight, good for keeping clean. We find sound quality very good. Down loaded the app to check the Battery %, which is also handy. Purchased price reduced by using 3 vouchers from the Good Guys, was disappointed when it was on sale a week later for Mother's day. Purchased online as local Ballarat store didn't have the colour in stock, so delivery was fast, within a couple of days. Would recommend purchase.

    Great bang for buck

    Small, but powerful, rich bass, clear top end. I've got other JBL speakers and for the size, the quality is fantastic. This one also doubles down as a portable power bank if required plus is water resistant, so accidental splashes if out camping aren't going to disrupt your tune time!

    Clear powerful sound

    Strong clean design with great sound. Only downfall is it connects to multiple phones and can drop in and out depending if someone in range is playing something on there phone.

    Absolutely awesome features.

    I previously had the Charge4 and thought that was awesome, but you wouldn't compare the two sooo sooo glad I got the Charge6. I absolutely love the handle, soooo easy to carry around and the non-slip grip on the bottom is sooo handy. Also, the play time is so much longer, and the sound is incredible and being able to go in water gives you real peace of mind and even the look of it is nicer. I couldn't be happier that I purchased the Charge6, use it all the time now.
