The JBL Charge 6, renowned for its rugged durability, is currently available for a limited time at a significantly reduced price. This portable speaker, built to withstand the elements, can now be yours for $129.95 – a $70 discount from its typical price.
This speaker isn’t just tough; it’s engineered for impressive sound. The Charge 6 boasts a 2.1-by-3.7-inch woofer and a dedicated 0.8-inch tweeter, delivering a combined 45 watts of power. Expect surprisingly robust bass, perfect for gatherings without needing a bulky subwoofer.
Beyond its power, the Charge 6 offers practical features for the adventurous listener. It’s fully waterproof, dustproof, and designed to survive accidental drops, making it an ideal companion for any outdoor activity. A redesigned looped handle provides a secure and comfortable grip.
Battery life is a standout feature, offering up to 24 hours of playtime on a single charge. The integrated USB-C port doesn’t just charge the speaker; it can also provide power to your smartphone, and now supports lossless audio when directly connected.
Connectivity is also enhanced with Bluetooth 5.4 and support for Auracast, allowing you to seamlessly pair with other speakers or join public audio streams. While it doesn’t support high-resolution codecs like aptX or LDAC, the sound quality remains remarkably clear even at higher volumes.
The speaker’s internal design builds upon the popular Charge 5, maintaining its travel-friendly form factor. The addition of the looped handle and improved audio capabilities make this a compelling upgrade for those seeking a portable, powerful, and resilient speaker.
While the included warranty is a shorter 90-day period, and a charging brick and USB-C cable are not included, the current price represents a substantial savings. Price tracking indicates this is the lowest price currently available for a new unit.
