Our Verdict
JBL Flip 6
Beats Pill
The JBL Flip 6 and the Beats Pill are similarly-proportioned speakers. While they perform similarly in most areas, there are some key differences that can help you choose between them. The JBL is better-built, has better directivity and offers a graphic EQ in the companion app for additional sound customization. However, the Beats has the more balanced sound out-of-the-box, a longer battery life and features some voice assistant support via the Siri or Google Assistant capabilities of your smartphone. As a result, the JBL is a better fit for users that care about tuning the sound to their preferences and want more consistent sound from all angles. The Beats is a better choice for those that value voice assistant support and need the longer battery life for on-the-go use.
