JBL portable speakers are popular for two simple reasons: They sound great, and they stand the test of time. I’ve had my JBL Charge 3 for years, and it’s still thumping powerful beats just like when I first got it. If you get a chance to buy an older JBL speaker at a discount, you can rest assured you’re getting a quality product at a good price—and that’s what Woot is offering right now. You can currently pick up a new JBL Flip 6 at a 46% discount, bringing it to $69.95 (originally $129.95), the lowest price it has ever reached according to price tracking tools.
The JBL Flip 6 has been around since 2021 and was succeeded in 2025 by the JBL Flip 7; hence the massive discount you’re seeing right now. Like all portable JBL speakers, the Flip 6 produces powerful sound, with a booming bass sound signature. If you don’t like how it sounds out of the box, you can tweak it with the JBL companion app, the best audio app I’ve tested (and I’ve tested many). It’s user-friendly, has many practical features like a full EQ adjustable setting, and it allows you to connect to other JBL speakers with Aurocast.
This is a rugged outdoor speaker with an IP67 rating, meaning it’s water- and dust-proof, so you can take it with you on any outdoor adventure. It will deliver about 12 hours of battery, rechargeable via USB-C, but that number will vary depending on how loud you play it. There is no speakerphone or AUX connection, and it’s a mono channel unless you hook it up to other JBL speakers. It supports AAC and SBC codecs, but not AptX. You can learn more about it on PCMag’s 4.0 “excellent” review.
