In this video, I take a look at a small waterproof Bluetooth speaker with a big personality (and sound). This is my JBL Go 3 review where I reveal why it knocked me sideways on first listen and the important role it has taken up in my life.

I have 5 of them some got for 29.95 on Amazon. I keep one in the bedroom the colors are fantastic red blur aqua etc more colors are coming just waiting for the good price. I can’t believe the audio out of this speaker 110-20,000khz awesome response for the size. The clip 4 another great speaker but the GO 3 is the best value for the dollar.

Why not headphones

@itfben 3 года назад

I was thinking this might be great for bike rides too. Compact, lightweight, you can wash the mud off, 5hours would be plenty for most. Vs earphones, when you’re out on the trials i like the idea people hear you coming on cycle/footpaths. Walkers don’t move out the way quick enough if they don’t hear you coming until the last minute.

We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning ru-vid.comUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.

While im a couple of yrs behind your review, I can honestly say JBL GO is the way to go. I had the GO 2 for the shower until it got charging issues, so I upgraded to the 3 without hesitation.. I found the sound very good for small size, the GO 3 is surprisingly strong, my ferrets keep stealing it, off my bath ledge, and its handling the knocks well. Loved your review. 😃

Great Review... I have an UE Boom which has been great but I’ve been looking something a little smaller and not as powerful just for throwing in my Cabin Bag for Travel for my Hotel Room etc... Or just on the go... I always liked the Size and Sound of the Go 2 and was looking at the new Clip 4 too but after watching your Review I think the GO 3 seems like a better option for me. I just subbed so looking forward to future Videos. Thanks for helping me make up my mind. 🎥🔊😎👍🏼

@ramondelgado6778 Год назад

Sorry that I'm late to the party. Amazing review! Love these both. I went for the Go 3 for the form factor as it stands up on my desk, unlike the Clip 4. I'm ok with the battery life of the Go 3 as it is better than advertised and I get more than twice that because I listen at very low volumes. Also, picked it up when it was on sale for $30, and the Clip 4 at the time, wast $80, so that made it easy. I got a blue one for myself and a red one for my girls bedroom. Thanks again. You earned a sub! Now I need your help between picking the iPhone SE3 (128 gb) or the Mini 13 (128 gb). Cheers!

Very impressed with the sound of this for the money. Goes with me when I shower and conveniently hangs on the towel hook! It won't fill a big room, and would be lost outside but I love it. Only issue I had is that if put on the flat side opposite the JBL branding, it will vibrate across any flat surface. Probably not an issue at lower volumes, but something to consider.

There are more expensive speakers that I'm sure sound amazing...but for me and the cost of this unit it's all I need for computer use. Definitely glad I purchased this speaker. BTW...good review...I've seen lots of people complaining you didn't do an audio test during the review. The heck with them. They don't understand in person sound doesn't translate well via RU-vid.
