Full details →Who the JBL Flip 6 Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker is for
Buy it if: Anyone wanting genuinely rugged portable sound for a bathroom, beach or poolside.
Avoid it if: Anyone expecting deep bass, or an Android user wanting a better codec than SBC.
Who the Nothing Ear is for
Buy it if: Android users on a lossless streaming tier who will actually use LDAC.
Avoid it if: iPhone users — iOS has no LDAC support, so the main advantage disappears.
