The JBL Charge 6 Speaker Is Currently on Sale for $70.
The JBL Charge 6 headphones are waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof—and they’re currently available on Woot for $129.95, a $70 discount off the regular price of $199.95 on Amazon. The deal runs for the next six days (or until sold out), and Prime members get free shipping. The headphones come with Woot’s 90-day limited warranty, which is shorter than JBL’s standard warranty but still decent. However, given the price, the charger and USB-C cable are not included, which seems like a bit of an oversight.
JBL didn’t make any major design changes. The Charge 6 retains the rugged, travel-friendly design that made the Charge 5 so popular, with IP68 dust and water resistance and a new loop handle for a better grip. Inside, there have been significant improvements. The 2.1-inch, 3.7-inch woofer, and 0.8-inch tweeter deliver 45 watts of power, while the familiar side-firing drivers deliver surprisingly powerful bass for their size. It won’t compete with a subwoofer, but for a pool party or a quick outdoor getaway, it’s a great choice, delivering clear, rich, distortion-free sound at high volumes, according to a PCMag review .
The claimed battery life is up to 24 hours depending on usage, and the speaker can even charge your phone via the USB-C port, which now also supports lossless audio streaming when connected directly. Built-in Bluetooth 5.4, along with support for JBL’s Auracast , is a useful feature for pairing speakers or connecting to public broadcasts. The app offers a seven-band equalizer for those who like to experiment, but codec support is limited to SBC and AAC, meaning no aptX or LDAC if high-resolution streaming is important to you. Still, it’s a powerful speaker designed for people who spend more time outdoors than indoors, and $129.95 is the lowest price it’s ever sold for new, according to price-tracking sites .
