Solid bass and volume. Great for the beach and traveling. Small enough to fit in your backpack without the bulky feel. Great quality and durability. This is our second JBL 2nd gen speaker - the first one lasted over 5 years of daily use. Hight recommend this JBL speaker.

I’ve been using the JBL GO2 for a few years now and it’s exceeded expectations. The sound quality is impressively clear for such a compact device, and the waterproof feature gives me peace of mind when using it near the pool or during hikes. The battery life is solid and it pairs quickly with any device. Great value for its size—ideal for travel, work-from-parks, or just relaxing at home.

good size and sound

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 portableCons...Not super loud for large spacesOverall, a great little speaker that’s way better than its size suggests.

Good compact speaker for travel or even in the home or office. Good sound with a decent base. The provided cable charges quickly and I frequently just left it in the charger so it can play continuously all day. Obviously this is not for a party or big room. But it can be used for a meeting with a few people. I have not tested the water proof feature.

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?

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.
