Score: 79/100
JBL Flip 6
Score: 78/100Rankings
The DOSS SoundBox Pro is a compact Bluetooth speaker delivering 20 W stereo sound with a 20-hour battery and IPX6 waterproof protection. Its heavier build and modest bass depth are notable trade-offs. Best suited for budget-conscious users who prioritize long playtime and party features.
The JBL Flip 6 is a portable Bluetooth speaker that delivers powerful, bass-heavy sound with up to 12 hours of playback and an IPX7 waterproof rating. Its Bluetooth range is limited and it lacks app-based EQ, while the larger form factor makes it less one-hand portable. Best suited for outdoor enthusiasts and casual party hosts who prioritize loud bass over fine-tuned sound control.

Professional reviewers commend the JBL Flip line for delivering a surprisingly powerful, bass-forward stereo experience in a rugged, waterproof package. The Flip 6 is praised as a clear upgrade with better clarity and portability, while the Flip 7 adds AI SoundBoost and longer playtime but sacrifices some portability due to increased weight. Critics note the absence of app-based EQ controls and limited Bluetooth range as the main drawbacks.
