JBL GO2 - Waterproof Ultra-Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black

The JBL GO2 Waterproof Ultra Portable Bluetooth Speaker in Red has been a game-changer for me when it comes to portable music. With its compact size, impressive sound quality, and waterproof feature, this speaker has become my go-to companion for outdoor adventures. First and foremost, the battery life on this little powerhouse is outstanding. It offers up to 6 hours of continuous playtime, which is more than enough for a day at the beach or a hiking trip. I appreciate the convenience of not having to constantly recharge it. Considering its small size, the JBL GO2 delivers surprisingly rich and clear sound. The audio quality is excellent, with a good balance of bass and treble. Whether I'm enjoying my favorite tunes or using it for hands-free calls, the speaker never fails to impress. It easily fills a small room or outdoor space with immersive sound. One minor improvement I would suggest is the addition of a clip. While the compact design is great for portability, having a clip would make it even more versatile for attaching to bags or backpacks during outdoor activities. However, this is a minor drawback that doesn't overshadow the overall functionality and performance of the speaker. The waterproof feature is a huge plus, as it gives me peace of mind when using the speaker near water or in unpredictable weather conditions. It has held up well during beach trips, poolside gatherings, and even survived a few accidental splashes without any issues. The Bluetooth connectivity is seamless and hassle-free, allowing for easy pairing with my devices. The speaker also has a built-in microphone, which comes in handy for hands-free calling. In summary, the JBL GO2 Waterproof Ultra Portable Bluetooth Speaker in Red has exceeded my expectations in terms of its compact size, battery life, and sound quality. Its waterproof design adds an extra layer of durability, making it perfect for outdoor use. While a clip would be a nice addition, it doesn't detract from the overall excellence of this speaker. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a portable speaker that delivers impressive sound at an affordable price.

Bought a black GO2 in Feb 23' for 29.00. The title says it all. This is possibly the best Bluetooth speaker out there for less than $30-35 right now. --- It's got a solid build feel. The front is a metal mesh, the rest some durable resin coated plastic. It'll probably survive a moderate amount of drops and dings. --- It's small and very portable. Its portability options are better with one of the silicon cases with the carbiner clip on it. With the case, it can be hung from things (lanyards, belt loops, tree branches, whatever...) With no case, it can fit into cargo pockets, chest pockets on most shirts and jackets. --- The sound quality is really good. Deep basses could be better, but they're good plenty good for such a small speaker with a passive radiator. The volume range is nice. It's loud enough to it clearly around 50 feet away indoors. --- The run time is great. I usually get about 6 hours of podcast use from a full charge even though the spec sheet says 5 hours is expected. The charge time is as advertised, it's about 2.5 hours from empty to full. --- The GO2 has a 3.5mm AUX input! This was a definitely a factor for my buying it. This speaker can be used with things that don't have Bluetooth as long as they have an AUX out port. The GO3, while beefier and has better bass, only supports Bluetooth, it has no AUX. --- Extra bonuses - The GO2 has a microphone and can work as a speaker phone when paired with your mobile. It's also waterproof, so it's good for use in the shower or at the pool. All in all, the GO2 gives a huge bang for the buck in a pretty small package.

The JBL GO2 really impressed me. For such a tiny speaker, the sound is clear and surprisingly full, with more bass than I expected. It’s small enough to toss in a bag, totally waterproof, and perfect for the pool, garage, or travel. Bluetooth connects instantly, the battery lasts a full day of casual listening, and it feels solidly built. It’s not meant to fill a big party with sound, but for personal use or hanging out with a few friends, it’s perfect. I use it mostly as an external speaker for my small QRP radios during Ham Radio activities. Pros...Clear sound, waterproof, very portable Cons...Not super loud for large spaces Overall, a great little speaker that’s way better than its size suggests.

I have a LG V60 cell phone with a QUAD DAC amplifier that only works with 3.5 mm port. Having the option to use the 3.5 mm for audio is the main reason I got the JBL GO2 and not the newer versions which don't have the 3.5 mm port. I like that you can still use the JBL while it's charging too. A big plus when we were on the deck for hours++ listening to music , podcast and watching videos on the laptop on the deck. Great little speaker for the price. The 3.5 mm jack was the selling point for me because I can't take advantage of the QUAD DAC amplifier on my phone through bluetooth it needs to be through the wired 3.5 mm jack. Bluetooth works very good as well with this speaker. When watching youtube videos the audio is synced up to match the lips of the person/s talking. Overall a very well built little speaker and can handle max volume without sounding muddy or harsh abrasive sandpaper sound. Using the QUAD DAC on my phone through a 3.5 mm male to male cable is a pretty substantial sound difference in volume and quality since it takes advantage of the LG V60s (cell phone) built in QUAD DAC amplifier. Bluetooth as well sounds very good through this speaker. The 3.5 mm was the selling point for me over the newer models. Why they removed the 3.5 mm on newer models is a surprise to me. I imagine if I had the right cables and a stereo splitter I could get two JBL GO2 speakers and use them in true stereo mode utilizing the 3.5 mm jack. Having that option and bluetooth is a huge bonus for me. Also on the rare occasions blue tooth may be finicky you can always turn off blue-tooth on your device , say your laptop and just plug in the JBL GO2 to your Laptops 3.5 mm audio port and get direct sound that way with no lag guaranteed. I will say the bluetooth though on the JBL GO2 is pretty flawless with no noticeable lag. Overall a very good little speaker that puts out a respectable amount of sound.

Late reviewGreat speaker quality sound gets pretty loud durable hold to charge for a long time. I have had it for four years now and still holding strong great value.

Solid name and product. Sound quality is top notch. Worth buying at any price.

I bought this speaker specifically for my showers — and now, I don’t shower without it. It’s small but MIGHTY. The sound is surprisingly loud and crisp for such a compact speaker. Whether I’m blasting music or catching up on my favorite podcast episodes, it fills the bathroom with rich sound and keeps me totally entertained while I’m scrubbing down. I love that it’s waterproof so it’s perfect if I get a little soap and water on it while turning it up or down. I know that I don’t have to worry about spalshing ruining it, which is exactly what I need in a speaker that lives in my bathroom. Bonus points for how easy it is to pair with my phone and how portable it is. I’ve even taken it to the backyard while gardening. And whenever I go on vacation, this thing goes with me! If you like your showers with a soundtrack or need a little voice of company while you get showered, this speaker is essential—a clean body, happy ears, good vibes—like, what more could you ask for?
