Short answer: the Miatone Boompro. Both are rated 4.2/5 for sound quality (#16 and #13 of 179 medium speakers), and the Miatone Boompro costs $35.99 against $79.95 for the JBL Flip 6, with sound quality a draw, the lower price decides it.
The case for the JBL Flip 6: A small, rugged speaker with very neutral sound for its size, an excellent choice for most people. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Miatone Boompro lacks. Watch for: Some slight upper mids emphasis.
The Miatone Boompro is the longer-running option. A cheap waterproof speaker with very well balanced sound, even at full volume, and a 16 hour battery. It is rated for 16 hours of battery against 12 for the JBL Flip 6. Watch for: Slightly less bass extension than higher ranked speakers.
Buy the Miatone Boompro. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $43.96 less than the JBL Flip 6.
