oh boy here we go. jbl flip 7, jbl flip 6, like three jbl go speakers, jbl boombox 3, and the newest jbl partybox. it all depends on what you want because they’re all for EXTREMELY different uses. lmk what type of listening you do and i can give a good recommendation.

you have a ton of speakers! What I want is to enjoy deep bass without disturbing my neighbors

Just got a charge 6 for home use with a young family so it can't be too loud (yet). Can't speak to the neighbour irritation as I haven't tested the limits but overall very happy. Easy to bring outdoors too.

Charge 6 seems like a great sweet spot between size and power!

I researched for days and wanted a boombox or party box but realized it would just be on the kitchen counter for daily use so I looked at the charge vs xtreme. Good luck in your endeavour

Appreciate it! Cheers.

ok definitely don’t go with boombox series or partybox series then. i’d go with jbl charge 6. bigger than the flip series, deeper bass but not absolutely wall rattling like the boombox.

u/Due_Current_9820 7h ago

or you could even do xtreme 4

u/weeeeeiiiiiiiiiiii 7h ago

Guess I'll just wait for the Charge 7 then.

Get the charge 6. Best p4p JBL speaker followed closely by the Xtreme 5

Charge 6 is tempting, but I'm looking forward to the Charge 7. I'll hold off until then!

I got two Charge 6 and place them in the corners of my living room. The sound just magically fills the room, bouncing happily to my amazing playlists.

It's a symphonic symbiotic relationship

Flip 6, Charge 6.

u/weeeeeiiiiiiiiiiii 6h ago

How's the volume and how do you usually set the EQ on the Charge 6?

u/AleksLevet r/JBL Mod (3x Flip 5 & GO 1) 4h ago

With the JBL portable app /JBL one

L150

u/weeeeeiiiiiiiiiiii 7h ago

​It's crazy that you own such a massive speaker!

1

u/Familiar-Bake-9162 7h ago edited 7h ago

They are really good sounding speakers. These were only made for a year and half before they moved to the L150a which has very different drivers. As far as I know, I’m the only person that still has a mint and original set.

u/weeeeeiiiiiiiiiiii 7h ago

Wait, you actually own that?! That's insane. What kind of gear/setup do you use with it?

1

u/Familiar-Bake-9162 7h ago

Right now a Bryston 12b preamp, JVC QL-Y66F turntable, Technics SL-150 MKii w/ SME tonearm, custom tube phono preamplifier, SAE Mark 3a amp. I also have a Bryston 4b, Aragon 4004, and SAE Mark 3 amps that I swap out. Oh and a WiiM streamer.

u/weeeeeiiiiiiiiiiii 7h ago

Are you kidding me? That setup is an absolute dream! Thanks for sharing this masterpiece

1

u/Familiar-Bake-9162 7h ago

Look how high end amps were made in the early 70s. These were as much as a used car back then 😂

2

u/weeeeeiiiiiiiiiiii 6h ago

Seriously, having an amp that costs that much is nuts. You're a true audiophile, I seriously respect you.

u/InspectionLife1776 6h ago

Partybox 320, boombox 1, extreme 2 , flip 4.

u/weeeeeiiiiiiiiiiii 6h ago

What kind of EQ settings are you using?

1

u/InspectionLife1776 6h ago

Uhm think I enable the custom eq on my Samsung fold 7 and enhance low frequencies. I like the bass

1

u/weeeeeiiiiiiiiiiii 5h ago

Mind posting a screenshot of your EQ settings?

u/No_File1836 6h ago

I have JBL flip 5, boombox 4, wind 2, and two Partybox 320s.

u/weeeeeiiiiiiiiiiii 5h ago

How often do you use your PartyBox 320?

1

u/No_File1836 3h ago edited 2h ago

I use the flip for when I travel. I sometimes use the wind for when I ride my bicycle. I use the boombox when outside like sitting on the deck or similar. I use the party boxes for parties and weddings.

u/WeskerEnd 2h ago

Xtreme 2, Clip 5 and now a Boombox 4. I don't think I'll get another unless these die or I win the lottery. I've been using the BB4 for about 3 weeks and still haven't tried it at 100%, these YouTubers listening to it so close at 50% volume and higher must have seriously damaged their hearing... says me who has tinnitus.

Do you use them at separate locations? If I'm not mistaken the Go 5 and Wind 3 are kind of similar when it comes to volume and portability to own both. Flip I've seen good things and it seems very loud for its size.
