    • Kind of the ultimate BBQ speaker.
Style: Speaker
I wanted a speaker for family nights, and outside activities that packed more features and more volume than your typical small cylinder you'd see with JBL's own flip, or the Bose Revolve speakers. At the same time, I was not in the market for some heavy tower beast you typically see with $600+ party speakers. This really met my expectations. Not only was the price (on sale) a good budget pickup, but it's goldilocks size and performance set it apart. It's easily luggable, has some water resistance, connects quickly and clearly to my iPhone. The panels on the back allow for different connections, including a Microphone connector, and apparently a connector for USB drives with mp3's on it. It also has an auxiliary connection if you want to play some lossless HIFI audio from your phone. The audio inside the house easily caps out at 50% before it's just ridiculously loud. This is both on battery or plugged into power. Depending on your own home, you may not need to even use the bass boost function, as it can become overpowering. When used outside, however, the bass boost is much more useful and helps round out the sound. The sound it produces is pleasant, warm and clear. It's clearly a sculpted sound to punctuate the lows (bass), but it doesn't drown out dialogue, vocals, and other instruments. It's clearly trying to be the life of the party with it's tuning. I think it does a wonderful job given how small it is for the sound it produces. My 2 year old uses the JBL microphone I bought separately for this speaker and loves to singe along with his favorite songs, as does my 6 year old. The Karaoke feature is basically a must if you have kids. It's a great way to keep singing a central part of your family's activities, without buying some throwaway frozen themed karaoke toy that's hard use and gets forgotten about. Highly recommended for families who want more sound and features than a Flip or Revolve or Soundlink but still want to be able to carry the speaker from place to place without much fuss. ... show more

    • Best speaker!
Style: Speaker
I purchased 2 of these a few years ago, one for each son. It has remained a staple in their daily lives since! The sound quality is so good and the charge lasts quite a long time. Well worth the money.

    • Awesome speaker to entertain large groups or project sound across an entire house/building
Style: Speaker
I liked it so much I bought a second one! Dust proof and water resistant makes it perfect for bringing on camping trips, or bringing it to the backyard while the family swims, no worries about it getting splashed or dirty. It also syncs up with other JBL boom boxes so you can have indoor/outdoor music or surround sound. I ran it all night during the rehearsal dinner at my wedding and we partied for hours. Sound is crisp, bass is deep, and the Bluetooth syncs right to your phone. It’s a very high quality speaker from my experience. Battery lasts plenty long as well, but you can just leave it plugged in so you don’t have to stress it dying. ... show more

    • Great speaker but wait until there is a sale and buy two
Style: Speaker
This is a great speaker and if you can afford it you should probably get two of them. I wanted a bluetooth speaker that I could take outside to use for BBQs with the kids and neighbors. I didn't need anything excessively big or loud for that but I still wanted something with decent bass and quality that didn't sound "small". I wanted a real speaker and not something you'd clip on your backpack. I did a ton of research and at the perfect moment for me this speaker was announced and I was able to get one locally a month or two later. Initial impression wasn't awesome but then I listened a bit more and I used the app to make two adjustments. I bumped the bass level on the EQ up by 1 notch and I turned on deep bass mode. I use mine plugged in which does make a difference so if you're on battery your adjustments or impression may be different. After getting used to the nuances and making these adjustments I started to realize how great this speaker is. It has solid bass and provides a clear, high quality sound without struggling and without any obvious issues. From 20-25ft we set it at 40-50% volume and it's perfect for my use case. Multiple people have commented how good it sounds. A few months later a family member was planning a large outdoor birthday party and these came on sale at the same time so I ordered a second one from Amazon so that I could use two of them for stereo mode. Everything that is good about a single speaker is enhanced with a second so the result is awesome. Once again people were asking about the speakers and commenting on how great they sounded and I am very glad that I got the second speaker. The only real drawback is the price especially if you're getting two of them which I highly recommend. $250 each or $450-500 for a pair makes more sense and is a bit easier to justify for "high quality casual" use like mine. That and "punchy" bass mode is absolute garbage. Just leave it on deep bass and you'll be fine. ... show more

    • 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
