The verdict

Much like its predecessor, the Charge 6 is sure to become a fan favorite. With better durability, a more customizable sound, and additional ways to connect, JBL has done an excellent job pushing the Charge series forward.

✓Liked: IP68, Increased durability, Increased bass response, 7-band custom EQ

✕Could be better: Playtime Boost feature kills sound quality, No backwards compatibility with previous JBL speakers that use Party Boost
