Summer is well and truly here, so what better time to buy a picnic-friendly Bluetooth speaker? The JBL Flip 6 currently has over £40 off – it's just £87 at Amazon. Considering that it's one of the best Bluetooth speakers you can buy, that's some deal.
To put it in perspective, it's just £2 more expensive than its best price ever – which it hit over a year ago – and £12 cheaper than it was during the Prime Day sale. Sounds like now is the time to buy.
The Flip 6 earned the full five stars from us when we first tested it in 2022. While at first glance it looks very similar to its predecessor, there are some changes: the rubber accents around the edges are a little subtler, and the passive bass radiators now feel cool, textured and metallic rather than smooth and rubbery. There's the same button layout, but now they're mounted on a slightly smaller rubber panel that no longer spans the entire length of the speaker.
You can pair two Flip 6 speakers and have them play in stereo using the Partyboost feature, and the app now features a three-band equaliser to tweak the sound. Certain things are missing: there are no mics for using it for handsfree calls, no voice assistants and no aux-in port for wired listening. But what it does have is great sound quality.
Like previous speakers in the Flip range, it's zippy, agile and fun, but this model has a fuller-bodied low end than its predecessors. Its soundstage is more spacious and open too, and can pinpoint sounds around the space.
So, a five-star speaker at a great discount – it's just £87 at Amazon, remember. The ideal summer speaker.
