JBL Go Bluetooth Speaker

JBL Go is a wireless ultra-portable Bluetooth speaker with mic including echo & noise cancellation and aux-in connection features. The speaker was first announced at CES earlier this year and has hit the stores in February 2015 in association with Snapdeal.

Design

The JBL has not experimented with design on this speaker and has kept the design minimalistic. It is housed in durable double injection finishing with rubber casing on the edges. Power, volume, bluetooth buttons are housed at top of the speaker bearing same color marking as color of speaker. The 40mm driver is located behind the metal grille at the front. Measuring just 82.50 x 29.95 x 67.91mm the speaker can fit easily in your pocket or on your palm. A built-in strap-hook and optional carrying strap, allows you to bring your music everywhere and fosters easy portability.

JBL Go is also available in seven other colors: black, red, orange, pink, grey, blue, yellow and tea.

Performance

To review the music capability of JBL Go we fed the speaker with various genres of music and being compact in size it delivered good sound quality. On our intense bass track it pumped fair amount of bass but sounded shallow at times. On one of our test track where various instruments are played together, JBL Go failed to impress us. Thus the speaker sounds best if your music library contains less complicated tracks. On raising the volume it gets loud but is accompanied by distortion on some tracks where treble is majorly focussed on. Mids and highs sounded good and detailed delivering crisp and clear vocals.

On the other hand the speaker did great job while watching movies or playing games on laptop. Dialogues, back ground sounds were clearly audible. On full charge it delivered a music back up 5 hours.
