Questions people ask
Charge 6 or Flip 7: which should I get on Black Friday?
The Charge 6 is bigger, louder and claims up to 24 hours. It also fell further last year. The Flip 7 is easier to carry.
Does the JBL Charge 6 sound good at low volume?
Reviewers say it loses some energy when played quietly. It comes alive at higher volume, where it's powerful and clear.
Is a USB-C cable included with the Charge 6?
No, reviewers note there's no USB-C cable in the box. It charges over USB-C, so most phone cables work.
