BL recently launched the latest version of its popular Bluetooth speaker, the JBL Charge 6, which brings some notable improvements over its predecessor in terms of both battery life and sound quality.
Key features of the JBL Charge 6:
- Extended battery life: up to 24 hours of playtime, extendable to 28 hours with Playtime Boost.
- Improved sound quality: New woofer and AI Sound Boost technology for powerful, distortion-free sound.
- Robust design: IP68 certification for water and dust protection.
- Enhanced connectivity: Support for Bluetooth Auracast and high-resolution audio via USB-C.
Improved battery life
One of the most striking new features of the JBL Charge 6 is the extended battery life. While the previous model lasted up to 20 hours, the Charge 6 now offers a playback time of up to 24 hours. With the Playtime Boost function, this can even be extended to 28 hours. However, this is at the expense of bass playback, as the lower frequencies are reduced when this function is activated in order to save energy.
Improved sound quality
The JBL Charge 6 has been equipped with a new woofer that provides a more powerful and clearer sound. In addition, JBL integrates AI Sound Boost technology, which analyzes the audio in real time and increases the volume without causing distortion. This function makes it possible to increase the volume without compromising the sound quality, which is often a challenge, especially with compact speakers.
Robust design
The design of the Charge 6 has been further optimized to meet the demands of an active lifestyle. With IP68 certification, the speaker is both waterproof and dustproof, making it the ideal companion for outdoor activities. It also has a detachable carrying strap that can be used as a wrist strap or carrying handle as required.
Advanced connectivity
In terms of connectivity, the JBL Charge 6 offers some useful features. Bluetooth Auracast support allows you to connect to multiple speakers at the same time for an even more immersive sound experience. The speaker also supports high-resolution, lossless audio when connected to a compatible device via a USB-C cable.
Conclusion
The JBL Charge 6 is a successful further development of its predecessor models. With improved battery life, optimized sound quality and robust design, it meets the requirements of modern users. The extended connectivity functions also make it a versatile companion for a wide range of applications. The JBL Charge 6 is available for pre-order now for $199.95 USD and is expected to begin shipping on April 4.
