I tried the new JBL FLIP 7, charging 6 Bluetooth speakers and loved what I heard


Four years have passed since we saw promotions to the Bluetooth loudspeakers from JBL, so I was curious to see and hear what the company did through the new Face 7 ($ 150) and 6 charge (200 dollars) Voice speakers. Although JBL has not radically designing amplifiers-it is very similar to its predecessors-it is characterized by a better voice, battery life and sound without losing via the USB-C connection. It is now available for pre -order and shipping on April 4 in multiple color options.

Both speakers are a waterproof, dust resistant and equipped with newly developed loudspeakers that help improve the performance of the brightness, along with the required signal to artificial intelligence that almost every new product seems to be covered by these days. In the case of Flip 7 and Charge 6, it is something called “AI Sound Boost” which says JBL says loudspeakers from distortion where drivers are pushed to their “maximum ability”. In other words, JBL has improved the digital treatment of speakers using promoted algorithms.

The shipment is 6 slightly larger than the ship 5, but it weighs the same predecessor at 2.11 pounds. One of the most obvious external changes is the new model shipping port (this port is why the headphone line is called “Charge”). Instead of the USB-A Out port caught under a brutal, there is a single exposed USB-C port that is shipped and fees. It allows you to use an energy amplifier for you and charging devices like your smartphone during the music flowing to the headphone.

In addition, the JBL added a removable handle to the 6th charge. When attached, the speaker gives a small look of miniature prosperity, which is slightly closer to the extremist JBL line. Meanwhile, FLIP 6 has a new payment supplement system that allows you to switch between Carabiner and a loop (both are included). Both speakers can be placed horizontally or stopped vertically.

The largest shipment always looked much better than the smaller face, resulting in more brightness and a greater total sound. But FLIP has obtained a sincere fan base thanks to its built -in design, promises and a good sound for its size. All that was told, the price of each of these two speakers increased by $ 20, and fierce competition in the Bluetooth Speaker Market.

After listening to both models for a few days, they actually produce more generally better clearly. They are also playing with a louder voice without distortion, although I sometimes faced a little distortion in Max Volume, depending on the path of music. It goes without saying that charging 6 provides a wider sound with a larger sound and a larger size than the face 7. However, the Flip 7 voice is significantly enhanced, and one of the most explosive speakers remains its size, which improves its position against Bose.

I can always insert a USB-C audio feature, whether it is on a Bluetooth headphone, but I could not run it either on FLIP 7 or Charge 6 even after updating fixed to Charge 6 claiming that USB-C support was part of the update. (The speakers have not yet been released, so I think I will see another update for fixed programs before April 4)

The USB-C audio feature with other Bluetooth speakers, I found that the sound is only a little improvement, but it is usually more dynamic and cleaner in a USB-C wire position. These are relatively unilateral amplifiers, so you will not get the sound gains from a wire connection that you may get from high -end loudspeakers that provide a richer and more detailed sound. But I will keep the final ruling until I am working on the advantage.

Flip 7 looks very similar to FLIP 6 but has a newly developed loudspeaker.

We will see where the street price comes out to these speakers, but JBL is likely to offer some discounts later in the year. With Charge 6 version, JBL sells Fees 5 for $ 120. Flip 6 remains at $ 130, or $ 20 cheaper than FLIP 7. 5 wifi charges It was released in September 2023 and is still for sale for $ 250.

In the coming days, after spending more time comparing FLIP 7 and charging 6 to competing models (and getting a USB-C to work), I will publish full reviews for speakers. Despite my problems related to USB-C, both speakers are likely to prepare our list Best Bluetooth speakers in 2025.
