JBL’s updates to its portable Bluetooth speaker lineup may be predictable, but we have no complaints given their consistently high quality. The JBL Flip 6 ($129.95) closely resembles its predecessor, the Flip 5, and performs just as admirably; few speakers in this price range can pump out bass that sounds as robust. The most significant changes to this outdoor-friendly speaker include an official dustproof rating and a new companion app with adjustable EQ. It sits comfortably between our Editors' Choice winners, the $99.99 Sony SRS-XB23 and the $179.95 JBL Charge 5, and while it doesn't necessarily stand out from either of these speakers, it's a worthwhile option depending on how much you're looking to spend.Compact and Durable Available in black, dark blue, gray, light blue, or red, the cylindrical Flip 6 measures 7.0 by 2.6 by 2.8 inches (HWD) and weighs just over 1 pound.
