If you’ve been looking to upgrade your portable speaker system before your next day at the beach or house party, you might appreciate the JBL Flip 6 deal on Woot. It’s currently marked down to $79.95, a full $50 off the regular price of $129.95. The sale lasts for ten days or while supplies last, with free shipping for Prime members (everyone else pays $6). Woot doesn’t ship to Alaska, Hawaii, or PO Boxes, and the warranty is only 90 days. Still, considering this is arguably the lowest price ever (according to price tracking tools ), it’s worth considering.
It weighs just over a pound and is about seven inches long, with the same cylindrical design that made the Flip series so recognizable. A woven grille wraps its body, flanked by passive radiators at both ends that deliver low-frequency sound with surprising confidence. Inside, you get a 20-watt subwoofer and a 10-watt tweeter, which together deliver a frequency range of 63 Hz to 20 kHz. The result is deep, balanced sound with punchy mids and enough bass to feel satisfying without muddy vocals, as noted in this PCMag review . It connects via Bluetooth 5.1 and supports AAC and SBC codecs , though there’s no AptX, AUX input, or speakerphone functionality—something to keep in mind if you prefer the flexibility of a wired speaker or take calls through the speaker.
However, for outdoor use, the Flip 6 excels. With an IP67 rating, it’s completely dust- and waterproof (throw it in a pool or wash it off the sand, and it’ll keep playing). Battery life is approximately 12 hours, depending on volume level, and the USB-C port supports modern charging speeds. It’s also compatible with the JBL Portable app, where you can adjust the equalizer to personalize the sound, control PartyBoost (for connecting other JBL speakers), and update the firmware. It’s not a mini subwoofer, but for its size and price, the Flip 6 exceeds all expectations.
