Both were recommended at Consumer Reports! Same audio quality for both (3/5). The GIG was #1 and JBL #13, user-friendliness, versatility and lower price probably pushed the GIG to first place. You win with either hardware anyway. 🤘
Just bought the gig xxl from Costco they were on clothes out for $99 I love them for the price that they are but absolutely no way I would pay $199 or more The JBL has way more bass way more durable and easier to control. I honestly think the gig xxl sounds good for what it is
The only way to do that is via the Roku app on your phone and using the private listening mode while the speaker is connected to your phone via Bluetooth.
