In this article, we go through how to factory reset your JBL Charge 6. A factory reset restores your JBL Charge 6 speaker to its original settings, clearing all paired devices and custom configurations.
If you’re experiencing persistent Bluetooth issues, audio glitches, or simply want to start fresh, resetting can often solve the problem. Follow this comprehensive guide to safely reset your Charge 6 and get back to crystal-clear sound.
A factory reset often resolves pairing failures or constant disconnects and fixes distorted or uneven playback. It also clears your personal settings before giving away or selling the speaker, whilst also resetting internal settings that might have become corrupted over time.
