How to Turn ON JBL Flip 6 Bass Mode

Unfortunately, turning ON and OFF the bass mode on the JBL Flip 6 does not work. Hopefully, JBL will add this feature to turn on bass mode on the JBL Flip 6, on in later firmware.

But if this did work, it might function as follows, just as it has on other JBL Flip speakers.  Now when ON, this mode makes the passive bass radiators vibrate more.  Furthermore, bass mode adds a “thumpy” aspect to the content playing. And which makes this speaker sound much bigger than it really is.

How to Turn ON JBL Flip 6 Bass Mode

First off, by default, this BT speaker has this extra bass mode ON. So you already get more treble and lots of extra bass to the audio output. You just can’t turn it OFF.

How to Toggle JBL Flip 6 Bass Mode Off and On

Some day, we hope that you’ll be able to turn bass mode OFF. This would work by pressing the Volume Down (-) and Bluetooth buttons. Then you would hold them in for about ten seconds, or until the oval ring lights up. Find these buttons on the top of the speaker.

Also, to turn extra bass mode back on, again, press the Volume Down and Bluetooth buttons. Then hold them in until the oval button ring lights up again.  Then release them.  Finally, when the ring goes off, bass mode is in effect once more.

Qualifiers

    1. Testing bass mode, we find that it works neither on firmware versions 0.5.2.0 nor 0.6.4.0.
