These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The Soundcore Motion X600 ranks #19 of 120 large speakers by sound quality at $159.99; the JBL Flip 6 ranks #13 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality at $79.95.
The Soundcore Motion X600 is the louder option. A stereo speaker with impressive sound after its latest firmware update, especially with a well tuned EQ. Alan Ross Reviews measured it at 104dB at full volume, against 98dB for the JBL Flip 6. It supports LDAC Bluetooth, which the JBL Flip 6 lacks. It keeps a wired aux input, which the JBL Flip 6 lacks. Watch for: Stock frequency response is wavy.
The JBL Flip 6 is the lighter pick. A small, rugged speaker with very neutral sound for its size, an excellent choice for most people. At 1.2 lbs (544 g) it weighs much less than the Soundcore Motion X600 at 5.2 lbs (2.35 kg). It has an adjustable EQ, which the Soundcore Motion X600 lacks. Watch for: Some slight upper mids emphasis.
Buy the Soundcore Motion X600 at $159.99 if you want a large speaker. Buy the JBL Flip 6 at $79.95 if you want a medium speaker instead.
