As much as I love decorations, it\u2019s the music that really gets me into the holiday spirit. Luckily for those looking to capitalize on the upcoming holiday season, JBL\u2019s newer Charge 6<\/a> is on sale at Walmart<\/a> for $154 (about $46 off), which is one of the lowest prices we\u2019ve seen for the portable Bluetooth speaker. Now, you can play a spooky playlist outside when trick-or-treaters stop by on Halloween.<\/p>\n

Introduced earlier this year, the Charge 6 is a robust portable speaker with an upgraded woofer and up to 28 hours of battery life with JBL\u2019s Playtime Boost feature enabled. It leverages JBL\u2019s AI Sound Boost feature, much like the JBL Flip 7, which analyzes your audio to deliver clearer, louder sound and reduce distortion at higher volumes. The Charge 6 even supports lossless audio through compatible music streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify<\/a>, so long as you connect your phone or laptop to the speaker via USB-C.<\/p>\n

As for ruggedness, an IP68 rating means the portable speaker can withstand accidental spills or days by the pool (it\u2019s also drop-proof up to one meter). It also features a removable strap that makes it easier to transport and can serve as an emergency power bank in a pinch, allowing you to top off your phone. And if the speaker\u2019s battery gets low, a quick 10-minute charge can provide up to 150 minutes of playback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As much as I love decorations, it\u2019s the music that really gets me into the holiday spirit.
