Which just makes this speaker sound very flat. The XB33 has an advertised battery life of 24 hours… noticeably more than these other two speakers… however, that advertised battery life is with this speaker playing at 50%, with the light feature turned off, and while in stamina mode. Now having a built in light feature is nice… but please don’t base your speaker purchase decision solely on a light feature… and also keep in mind, if you use this light feature, it does take its toll on the battery life. I personally really enjoy the illuminated woofers. And I can’t deny, this light feature looks pretty good. However, something the Sony XB33 does have over these two JBL speakers is that it has a built in light feature. But besides that, all of these speakers are durable and portable… but if you want maximum portability, then you’ll want to go with the Flip 6. The only thing you have to be mindful of are the exposed passive radiators on all of these speakers. They’re all water proof, so you don’t have to worry about any of these speakers getting wet or even accidentally dropped into a pool… and all of these speakers should have no problem standing up to constant abuse from bumps and scrapes cause their fabric wrapped bodies should be able to take all of that. But besides that… all of these speakers are basically the same. Where as these other two speakers, you cants. Besides just being the smallest, the flip 6 also has this little built in loop so you can attach it or hang it from thing if you really wanted to.

However, the Flip 6 is the smallest and most portable speaker here. Now obviously you can take any of these speakers on the go with you because they are all fairly small. Now first lets talk about the design of these speakers. Nonetheless, if you want to pick any of these speakers up, they’ll be linked down below.

But no matter how you look at it, I expect the XB33 to always undercut the Charge 5 by a significant margin. And I expect JBL to put the their speakers on sale from time to time as well. However, sony does like to put the XB33 on sale from time to time for $120.

The sony XB33 has a retail price of $150, and the JBL Flip 6 has a retail price of $130. Now regarding pricing, the JBL charge 5 is the most expensive speaker here retailing for $180. But today, we’re going to see if its worth upgrading from the Flip 6 to the larger JBL Charge 5… and we’re also going to see how the Flip 6 stacks up to the Sony XB33. Thanks to its new speaker set up which consists of a pair of dual passive radiators, a woofer, and a tweeter… the flip 6 really does sound great in a very compact package.

So the JBL Flip 6 truly is a great little bluetooth speaker.
