Short answer: the JBL Flip 6. It ranks #13 of 182 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 4.2/5, at $114.95. The Treblab HD77 ranks #100, rated 3.1/5, at $69.97, $44.98 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The JBL Flip 6 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass pick. A small, rugged speaker with very neutral sound for its size, an excellent choice for most people. Its bass reaches about 56Hz before falling 10dB, against 66Hz for the Treblab HD77. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Treblab HD77 lacks. The tradeoff: Some slight upper mids emphasis.
The Treblab HD77 is the longer-running pick. An affordable speaker with an aux input, long battery life, a speakerphone mic and pairing with a second unit. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 12 for the JBL Flip 6. It keeps a wired aux input, which the JBL Flip 6 lacks. Watch for: Lacking quite a bit of bass compared to higher ranked speakers.
Buy the JBL Flip 6. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $44.98 with the Treblab HD77 does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
