JBL Flip 6
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Tribit XSound Go delivers 16 W of loud, balanced sound with a 24-hour battery and IPX7 waterproof durability. Its bulkier form factor and modest bass performance may deter users seeking ultra-compact or deep-bass speakers. Suited for budget-conscious outdoor enthusiasts needing long playtime.
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.
