Which should you buy?

Pick the Charge 6 if you care most about battery and output power. The biggest gaps in its favor are battery, output power, low-end response.
The Flip 7 similarly doesn't carry a headline advantage on the popular specs — look at the full table for category-specific deltas.
Both ship with comparable water resistance, stereo pairing, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
