    Ok, good performance but the battery lasts at most 3 hours. If the information presented was accurate, I might have chosen one with more battery endurance for a little more money.

    This review is about the colour: Red

    I had the previous model JBL Go 2 for several years and I was very satisfied until its charging port broke and I decided to replace it.
    The battery on this one is not as good, it doesn't last 5 hours as it claims, with the previous one you would forget to charge it.
    However, it sounds good and loud.
    Review one year later: The battery doesn't even last 10 minutes

    I wanted it to listen to music when I was in the kitchen. It is more than good! (before I was listening from my phone!). I don't think it's suitable for parties (!) since you can't adjust the treble and bass. But for this use, its volume and quality are more than enough. Value for money.

    This review is about the colour: Light Blue

    Although I am not a fan of JBL with its huge logo and emphasized bass, I can say that the speaker is worth it. Considering its size, you wouldn't expect it to produce such powerful and nice sound compared to other similar ones I've heard. The bass is amplified properly if you leave it on the floor or on a desk, but (logically) it doesn't go too low. The vocals sound "in front" and bright, not laid-back and muffled. The treble is slightly emphasized, but it doesn't bother much. Overall, the sound is not balanced or completely comfortable to the ears, but it is lively and sounds good! For 25-30, you won't be wasting your money. I would like it to have a 3.5mm jack/aux input for audio (or an FM radio, which I wonder why many don't include). I cannot evaluate its durability in terms of drops or battery life, as I just got it

    It's worth every penny, no doubt about it.
    You won't find a better speaker for the money

  • Ok, good performance but the battery lasts at most 3 hours. If the information presented was accurate, I might have chosen one with more battery endurance for a little more money.

  • Short battery life, for its price, you can find more powerful ones from other companies

  • I had the previous model JBL Go 2 for several years and I was very satisfied until its charging port broke and I decided to replace it.
    The battery on this one is not as good, it doesn't last 5 hours as it claims, with the previous one you would forget to charge it.
    However, it sounds good and loud.
    Review one year later: The battery doesn't even last 10 minutes

  • I wanted it to listen to music when I was in the kitchen. It is more than good! (before I was listening from my phone!). I don't think it's suitable for parties (!) since you can't adjust the treble and bass. But for this use, its volume and quality are more than enough. Value for money.
