Finding one of the best Bluetooth speakers at the right price can be a huge undertaking. Luckily, I just found this great deal on one of JBL's finest portable speakers that will help you get your favorite tunes sounding just right without breaking the bank. 

Right now, the JBL Flip 6 is on sale for just $89 at Amazon. That’s $40 off its full retail price of $129, and the lowest price ever for this seriously good Bluetooth speaker. A similar deal can be found at Best Buy, where they also have the JBL Flip 6 Martin Garrix edition on sale for $89

The JBL Flip 6 balances compact size with impressive audio quality, and it's also fully waterproof and dust-resistant. It packs 12 hours of battery on a full charge. Its pleasantly rich bass is one of its biggest advantages, and its upgraded Bluetooth connectivity shouldn't be overlooked either. Overall, it's an impressive update to one of the most popular portable speakers on the market.

As the follow-up to the best-selling JBL Flip 5, I ranked the JBL Flip 6 as the best JBL speaker you can buy because of its combination of excellent audio quality and rugged design. In my JBL Flip 6 review I said, “As the latest incarnation of the one of the most popular Bluetooth speakers, the JBL Flip 6 continues to deliver the sonic goods and remains one of the best on the market.”

The JBL Flip 6 is one of the best waterproof speakers thanks to its IP67 rating which allows it to be submerged in up to three feet of water. It’s also dustproof, making it ideal for use around the pool, at the beach or on hiking excursions. Overall, the JBL Flip 6 is one of the most rugged speakers we’ve ever tested, and that doesn’t come at a sacrifice to audio quality either with particularly impressive bass for a speaker of its smaller size.

When it comes to battery life, you can expect up to 12 hours of playback on a full charge according to JBL. Plus, the speaker can be powered from dead to full charge in less than three hours, which is respectable if not exactly impressive. The only real negatives are the lack of an auxiliary input for those who prefer a wired connection, and the omission of an integrated voice assistant. But these are arguably minor flaws considering that the JBL Flip 6 gets all the important stuff right. $89 is the lowest price I've seen for it.
