After a long wait, JBL has redesigned two of its popular portable speakers, upgrading them with improved sound and battery life. They're available for preorder now.

JBL's Charge and Flip speakers are regular visitors to our best Bluetooth speakers guide, thanks to a winning formula of great sound and rugged design. And now the brand has tweaked its winning formula further with the new JBL Charge 6 and JBL Flip 7, both of which come with significantly improved audio and battery life.

You can pre-order the Flip 7 for $150 on JBL’s website with an expected ship date of April 6. The pricing is competitive and puts it in line with the Bose Soundlink Flex (2nd Gen) ($150), the Anker Soundcore Boom 2 ($130), and the Beats Pill ($130).
