#13 JBL Flip 6: $114.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Newer model: the JBL Flip 7, ranked lower, rated 4.2/5.

Pros: A very neutral speaker, very small, almost pocket size, a huge sound quality leap over the Flip 5. Measured bass extension of 56Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Not stereo. Some slight upper mids emphasis. The TL version (made in Vietnam) tweeter can sound somewhat scratchy and doesn’t sound as good as the GG version (made in China)

Related speakers: JBL Flip 4, JBL Flip 5, JBL Flip 7.

How it compares: Just above it: JBL Charge 6 - $35 more, 12 more hours of battery life. Just below it: Soundcore Boost “original model” pre-2021 - $55 cheaper.
