This, for UK buyers, is the same launch price as the five-star JBL Charge 6 (£170 / $199 / AU$200). Despite its retro appearance, Philips’ The Roller has been kitted out with a number of modern-day features. It’s clearer, more detailed and far more musically nuanced, with a layered, cohesive performance that can make The Philips speaker seem somewhat unrefined by comparison. If you’re serious about getting the best-sounding Bluetooth speaker at this price, buy the JBL Charge 6.
