Sonos Roam/Roam SL
JBL Flip 6
The Sonos Roam/Roam SL and the JBL Flip 6 have different strengths. The Sonos comes with a Trueplay room correction feature, though it's currently only available with iOS devices. With Trueplay enabled, it produces a more extended low bass than the JBL. It's Wi-Fi-compatible and offers fantastic voice assistant support with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in. It also supports Apple AirPlay. However, the JBL can get a bit louder than the Sonos with less compression at max volume, resulting in cleaner audio at louder volumes. Its sound is more customizable, thanks to the graphic EQ in its JBL Portable app. It can also be paired to up to two devices at once, which is handy when you need to quickly switch between audio sources.
