Our Verdict
Bose SoundLink Revolve II
JBL Flip 6
The Bose SoundLink Revolve II is a better speaker than the JBL Flip 6. The Bose can produce a more extended low-bass and offers a wider and more spacious-sounding soundstage. It also supports voice assistants through your smartphone and has little trouble understanding your commands from far and in noisy settings. That said, the JBL comes with a graphic EQ to tweak its sound to your liking. It's also smaller and better built with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance that certifies it to be dust-tight and immersible in up to a meter of water for 30 minutes.
