  • I love this thing; I hardly go anywhere without it.
Style: Speaker
I'm an audiophile, so picky about sound quality. I'm not saying this compares to a home system, but I love this thing. I take it everywhere, just in case I need it; I hate to be w/out music when I want it. I can use it at low level even in hotel rooms on road trips. The JBL Bluetooth speakers have a nice balance, top to bottom and are very musical. I use a Go 3 on my bike. Only downsides: I found it odd that they put the charger inside, potentially adding a little weight instead of using a wall wart. But it's not heavy, though it sounds like it should be. The other small issue for me is that for very low levels, like in a bedroom at night the volume adjustment is too coarse. But I would not want to sacrifice anything to fix that, as it's awesome for everything else. I wish I had more, to keep one in my car and keep one at home for outside, but I just take it everywhere. ... show more

  • Great speaker for cleaning or working outside or just jamming out.
Style: Speaker
I love it easy set up with Bluetooth. Loud and bass booster is nice. Power went out other day in shop and music never stopped. I have it plugged in so if I need to grab and take it it's charged. Not a fan of the lights but like how it shows volume level with light around speaker. Music feed is clear. ... show more

  • Everything you will ever need in a speaker.
Style: Speaker
Best wireless speaker I have ever purchased. Incredible bass, already getting great enjoyment by the pool, and easily overpowers noise and music we don’t care for that comes from our neighbors.

  • Excellent Sound and Bass, but Battery Falls Short
Style: Speaker
I bought this JBL speaker about two weeks ago, and as someone who listens to music constantly, I’ve really put it to the test. To give you an idea, I’m in Spotify’s top 0.05% of listeners with over 100,000 minutes of music every year. I listen to music everywhere: in the shower, while working, working out, doing yard work, playing sports—you name it. Here’s what I love about this speaker: 1. Portability and Design: It’s about the size of an air fryer and weighs less than 10 pounds, making it super easy to carry with its built-in handle. Perfect for moving it around the house or yard. 2. Bass Quality: I’m incredibly picky about bass—any rattle or lack of fullness drives me nuts. This speaker delivers. The bass is clean, deep, and powerful, especially in smaller rooms like a bedroom or bathroom. You can really feel it. 3. Volume and Clarity: This thing gets loud—loud enough to fill my backyard, and you can still hear it clearly from 150 feet away. The best part? It doesn’t sacrifice bass quality at higher volumes, which is rare in a speaker this size. 4. Simple Controls: Straightforward and easy to use, which is always a plus. Now for the downside: the battery life. This is my biggest complaint. I always use bass boost and play my music pretty loud, so that could be a factor, but I’m only getting about 3-4 hours of playtime—maybe less. For longer outdoor sessions, I’ve resorted to bringing the plug and running it off power. It doesn’t help that plugging it in is a hassle. You have to remove a rubber cover and wrestle the oddly shaped plug into place. That said, for $200 (I got it on sale), I don’t think you’ll find a better-sounding speaker in terms of power, clarity, and bass. I’ve owned everything from Harman Kardon and Bose to cheaper off-brand options, and this one outshines them all in sound quality. Final verdict: 4 stars. If JBL could improve the battery life, it’d be a perfect 5. But even with this drawback, the sound quality alone makes it a standout choice at this price point. ... show more
