Our Verdict

Sony SRS-XB33

JBL Flip 6

The Sony SRS-XB33 is a more versatile speaker than the JBL Flip 6, though they have different strengths. The Sony speaker can produce a more extended low-bass with its 'EXTRA BASS' and 'ClearAudio+' features enabled. It can play stereo content without downmixing it to mono, which is more immersive. It has a longer-lasting battery life of over 12 hours, though this varies depending on your usage. It also supports voice assistants through your smartphone, though its performance isn't very good. However, the JBL offers a better-balanced sound profile out-of-the-box. It offers a much more spacious and open-sounding soundstage. It's also smaller and easier to bring along with you on the move.
