The JBL Charge 6 is very good for use outdoors. It’s easy to carry, built to withstand dust and water with its IP68 rating, and has an excellent battery life of around 14 hours (or 19 hours with Playtime Boost activated). Since it’s a small speaker, it doesn’t get loud enough to fill a garden with sound, and it lacks low-bass rumble, but there’s enough warmth to keep basslines feeling immersive, and it’s not really intended to be a party-starter. Regardless, you can tweak its sound to your liking using the 7-band EQ in its companion app. Unfortunately, it downmixes stereo audio to mono (unless paired with another device), and audio in the treble range does sound different depending on your listening angle. However, with those small drawbacks aside, this speaker serves its intended purpose well.
