It will put up with virtually any abuse you throw at it. You probably won’t need to worry about it reaching three feet of depth, either, as the speaker is designed to float. In fact, though that cool fabric coating on the exterior may seem to be just an aesthetic choice, it was engineered for motorcycle jackets and fire equipment - meaning it will put up with virtually any abuse you throw at it. The speaker has an IP67 dust and waterproof rating, which means it’s good for up to 30 minutes in three feet of water and is more than fine with a trip to your closest sandy shore. The Megaboom 3’s most important features are actually the ones that you don’t see.įirst and foremost is the speaker’s durability. The only port you’ll find on the speaker is the in the bottom rear - a micro USB charging port that hides below a rubberized strip on the rear of the device. I got it for 97$ and I'm loving this thing.Two massive volume buttons - something of an Ultimate Ears design signature - appear on the front of the device, on top of a durable light-shifting fabric material that covers the drivers, with the power and multifunction button (more on this later) on the Megaboom’s rubberized top.Ī cleverly positioned loop of fabric is on the back of the new Megaboom, making it easy to hang from a carabiner, branch, or string, depending on where you find yourself jamming out. Now let's talk about price, is it worth it? If you manage to get it for 100$ or below I would say yes, absolutely. Even though we lost hands-free capabilities and the 3.5mm jack, I didn't ran into the situation where I missed those things. It uses USB-C for charging and that's a nice upgrade (Flip 4 used microUSB). ![]() I managed to achieve about 9-11h of battery and charging speeds are also pretty fast too. ![]() Talking about battery, it was pretty good too. In some songs it sounded good but in some others it was terrible but with the Flip 6, I didn't ran into that issue. Compared with the XB33, I always had to open the EQ and keep changing stuff because it wasn't consistent at all. This is one of those rare cases where I just turn on the speaker and listen to my music without any worry or issue about it. Not only the Flip 6 sounds better but also it's much more powerful than the Flip 4. Coming from a Flip 4, difference is day and night in terms of sound and output power. Another thing I liked about its sound is it's output power which for its size is amazing. Definition and sparkle is not missing here so no matter what you play, it's going to sound great. It has pretty good bass, good mids and great highs too. After changing some bands, this little guy began to sound great. Out of the box, I felt like it needed more bass (some of the songs I played did have deeper lows which the Flip 6 was not able to play until I boosted bass), fortunately JBL provides an EQ on its app which is really easy to use and works as expected. ![]() This is one of the best sounding portable speakers I tried. It's like JBL got an identity with these designs and I gotta admit it just looks great, but ofc you don't buy a speaker to see it with your eyes, so let's talk about sound. One of the things I really like of JBL speakers are their designs. After testing the JBL Flip 6 for many weeks, I have my review now and I gotta say this little guy rocks!
