The Bose looks clean, but the JBL sounds way better because it has a separate woofer and tweeter for actual punchy bass and clear vocals. Plus, it's cheaper, tougher (IP68), and the battery lasts ages longer up to 28 hours.

Charge 6 sounds better and louder. You can EQ the Charge allowing it to outperform the Bose. 7 bands vs 3 bands. You can see where JBL shines. Plus JBL cheaper I got mine for $110 from Woot.

Even on sale, Bose products very rarely earn their price. Incredible marketing company with ok sound.

The Bose speakers are very good sounding, but they all suffer from parasitic battery drain. That means it you fully charge them to 100% and use them 5 weeks later, the battery will be drained.

The cynic in me thinks this is by DESIGN so the battery wears out faster provoking you to purchase another speaker much sooner! It's very annoying b/c you have to preplan to charge it ahead of time in order to use it. . By Bose QC 35II headphones don't have this issue though!

In comparison I have a Sony BT speaker that I use once a year or every 2 years, and the battery still has substantial amount of juice to go out on the deck for a few hours!

Charger 6 is smaller, louder, more bass, clearer vocals. Bose sounds very good too, but the jbl has the more dynamic exciting sound if that's what your looking for.
