JBL upgrades two of our favourite Bluetooth speakers with bigger sound, longer battery life and more durable designs

JBL Charge 6 in red with carry strap.

It's a big day for fans of portable audio everywhere. JBL has announced sequels to two of its most popular and accomplished Bluetooth speakers, the Award-winning JBL Charge 5 and the five-star JBL Flip 6, with the new generations teasing improved sound, greater features and even more rough and ready durability. Say hello to the much anticipated JBL Charge 6 and JBL Flip 7!

Both Charge 6 and Flip 7 speakers feature boosted sonic capabilities courtesy of JBL's 'AI Sound Boost', a proprietary technology, which analyses soundwaves in real time to optimise the speaker's sonic output without distorting the audio, teasing a new duo of speakers which "push the boundaries of sound performance" in their respective weight classes. We are promised 'bigger sound and deeper bass' effectively, which we hope they can pull off without upsetting the excellent sonic balance we like so much of the five-star predecessors.
