JBL Go 3 - Portable Mini Bluetooth Speaker, big audio and punchy bass, IP67 waterproof and dustproof, 5 hours of playtime, speaker for home, outdoor and travel (Blue)

I bought this last summer on Prime Day on sale for $30. I also bought a $90 speaker from an off brand at the same time that was much bigger. This JBL at 1/3 of the price and 1/4 of the size and outperformed that other speaker in pretty much every way. It is smaller, more portable, cheaper, and has a higher quality build than the off brand. I can listen to either podcasts or music on this speaker and both sound good with a decently high volume. This can't be used as a party speaker or anything where you are really trying to fill a large room with sound, but for working outside nearby, taking a shower, or just hanging out in the living room listening to some music this is a good option.It is water resistant so I can use it in the shower just fine. I've accidentally dropped it from a height of about 4'-5' more than once with no damage or issues, it seems as good as new other than some paint I accidentally got on it once when painting a room. The volume control and play buttons are well marked, easy to access, and easy to use. They give you a nice "click" when you press them for tactile feedback. The power and Bluetooth buttons are also well designed and give similar feedback and you won't likely accidentally press one of them.The biggest cons are that the Bluetooth connection does not show the battery charge level so you just have to use it for a while and charge it when it dies, or whenever you think about it. The battery does last at least one full work day. I can't say for sure exactly how long it lasts since I tend to use it for a few hours at a time rather than all day, but it lasts for at least several days of a few hours at a time with no issues. I would have liked it to display the charge percentage either on the device or on the bluetooth status bar on my phone though.This speaker also doesn't have a lot of bass to it. It has enough for a non-audiophile to enjoy all types of music including rock and metal, but no one would confuse this for something with a subwoofer. It also gets fairly loud for its size, but won't work well for playing music at a house party or backyard party where you want to fill an area with music. Use this more a personal, portable speaker and you should be happy with the purchase.I've had this speaker about 9 months now and would highly recommend it to someone looking for a good quality small Bluetooth Speaker for either music, podcasts, or audiobooks.

I absolutely love my JBL! This little speaker may be compact, but it packs a huge sound. The audio is crisp and clear, with surprisingly deep bass for its size. Whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, the sound quality is excellent.One of the best features is its portability—it’s lightweight, easy to carry, and fits right in my bag. The battery life is fantastic, lasting hours on a single charge, and the Bluetooth connection is quick and reliable. Plus, it’s water-resistant, so I can take it to the pool or on hikes without worrying about a little splash.If you’re looking for a compact, high-quality speaker that’s perfect for on-the-go use, this is it! Highly recommend!

The perfect gift for a music lover to carry everywhere! Great value for the money. Sturdy/ waterproof and sound quality is amazing! Well designed and lightweight! Very happy with my purchase!

Great sound, waterproof and perfect for travel! I got one for myself my husband and my cousin. We're all impressed with the sound quality and how compact it is. Amazing buy!

The sound quality is crisp, with deep bass and clear highs—even at higher volumes. Battery life is another win; I get hours of playback on a single charge, which is perfect for long days out or backyard gatherings. The build feels solid and durable, which gives me peace of mind when I’m near the pool or beach. Bluetooth connectivity is seamless, and pairing is quick. Overall, it delivers way more than I expected for the price. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a reliable, great-sounding portable speaker

Initial thoughts are this is a great speaker for the price. Quality sound and the size is perfect for travel. Will see how it handles a summer of beach, kayaking, etc. but very happy thus far.

Excellent speaker the volume blows Alexa out of the park sorry Alexa! The speaker is small but very powerful I picked the Army colors and is right on the dot for design. I love the small cord I just attach a clip to it and it goes with me on walks or during yard work days. Best price in town!

Incredible product for the money! I am a sound man with experience with many different kinds of speakers. This tiny speaker has the resilience and fidelity of a pro sounding speaker. Great for a picnic or the beach!
