If you're in the market for a portable Bluetooth speaker that punches well above its weight, this early Black Friday deal is for you. The JBL Flip 6, a What Hi-Fi? five-star rated Bluetooth speaker, has just plummeted to an all-time low price – could this mean a long-awaited seventh-gen sequel is set to arrive soon?
Right now, you can snag this sonic superstar for just £65 at Amazon and John Lewis, down 50 per cent from its usual £130 RRP if you pick the speaker's sleek black colourway. If you like a bit more colour from your audio, most other finishes are down to £89, and that's a figure that's almost as cheap as the JBL's previous all-time low price anyway.
The JBL Flip 6 has long been one of our favourite portable Bluetooth speakers, and for good reason. Despite its compact, burrito-sized form factor, it manages to cram in some seriously impressive audio technology. The latest iteration boasts Bluetooth 5.1 for improved connectivity, along with a reworked driver configuration that includes a separate tweeter powered by a dedicated 10-watt amplifier.
In our review, we praised the Flip 6 for its improved clarity and sonic precision compared with its predecessor. The separate tweeter really makes its presence felt, delivering a cleaner and more emotive performance that sounds more spacious and open than the previous model. Bass lovers will be pleased to know that despite its diminutive size, the Flip 6 delivers surprisingly punchy low-end performance, serving up a well-balanced, entertaining sound across all frequencies.
It's not just about sound quality. The Flip 6 is built to withstand the rigours of outdoor use, boasting a dust and waterproof IP67 rating. This means you can take it to the beach, by the pool, or on a hiking trip without worrying about damage from sand, splashes, or even brief submersion.
For those who like to fine-tune their audio, the JBL Portable app also serves up a three-band equaliser, allowing you to tweak the bass, mid, and treble to your liking. And with its 12-hour battery life, the Flip 6 is ready to keep the party going all day long.
Whether you're looking to upgrade your portable audio game or searching for the perfect gift for a music-loving friend as Christmas approaches, this outstanding early Black Friday deal on the JBL Flip 6 is worth your attention. Head to Amazon or John Lewis and beat the digital crowds.
