JBL
Charge 6 Bluetooth Speaker
A portable Bluetooth speaker that doubles as a powerbank. Good for someone who's often outside and needs music plus a phone backup.
$159.95
This is a portable speaker with a built-in powerbank — you can charge your phone from it while music plays. It's IP68 rated, so it can handle being dropped in a pool or getting caught in the rain at the beach.
It comes with a strap, which makes it easier to carry one-handed on a walk or clipped to a bag. Weighs about 2 pounds with the strap on.
The powerbank works fine for phones, but JBL says it won't charge a laptop. Also, don't plug it in to charge while it's still wet — let it dry completely first.
Why it works
- Doubles as a powerbank to top up a phone on the go.

- Includes a strap for one-handed carrying.
Who it's for
- Someone who spends a lot of time outside or traveling.
- A friend who's always running out of phone battery at the park.
What to know
- Won't charge a laptop — just phones and smaller devices.
- Let it dry completely before charging it after water exposure.
