JLab - Go Party Speaker Bluetooth Speaker with RGB Lighting - Navy

Very cheap price, price definitely does not reflect quality. It’s has very clear sound and it’s cool how it allows you to change the color rotation and all of the other settings for the color. Best speaker I have ever gotten.

Small, compact and great design, great sound for a low price BT speaker. This speaker has better battery life then higher priced competition. I have yet to find any reason to dislike it yet. To me this seems like an all pro no con speaker choice.

JLab, a world-renowned manufacturer known for quality earbuds, headphones & portable speakers, introduced the Go Party Portable Bluetooth Speaker. Measuring 8.27" H x 3.74" W x 3.07" D, it weighs a miniscule 1.452 pounds, while packing a room full of sound from two 2" speakers & two 2" passive radiators. A handy carry strap & volume control knob on top add to the ideal design. This is the perfect speaker for poolside or outdoor party fun & is IP56 rated for protection from dust, rain & high pressure water. Attractive RGB lighting is customizable using the free JLab app. The built-in rechargeable battery is estimated to last 16 hours without the RGB lighting & 8 hrs. with the lighting. My test found this battery life to be realistic. Pairing with Bluetooth could not be easier. Press the power button, then search your smartphone Bluetooth list for JLab Go Party. Touch your phone to connect, after which the app will search for a firmware update. The JLab app controls RGB lighting, LabSync to combine up to 100 Go Party Speakers, equalizer to optimize sound, and many other parameters. Bass Boost (Eq preset # 3) sounds the best to my ears for most listening. CONCLUSION: JLab Go Party Bluetooth Speaker is the ideal portable speaker with great looks & sound for music on the go, incredible Bluetooth range, & earns my highest recommendation.

Really nice portable speaker. It feels well built and has some heft to it. Little con is there was no charging cable included at all. It uses a type C USB port to charge. Setting it up was super easy, turn on and goes into Bluetooth pairing mode, my phone picked it up immediately. If you want, you don't need to do anything else and start using it. However, if you download their Jlab app, you can further customize it, and more importantly, update its firmware (there was an update) which generally fixes hardware issues. With it you can also change its RGB lighting (really nice, has a nice diffuser on it), to different lighting modes (I like the music eq one). It also has EQ modes you can change too and its Labsync feature, where you can pair it with other Jlab speakers in tandem. You can also tune its battery saver where it will auto shut off after certain time of inactivity. You can use voice prompts too. I also love the easy control on the top, it has a wheel that spins for volume and buttons for play, pause etc. Now, onto the audio quality, I was greatly surprised at the nice amount of bass it has, for such a little speaker, it does sound boomy and clear. I love that is water resistant and its USB port has a nice plastic cover to avoid water going inside. Great little speaker for pool parties or just on the go. Only con is its not google home compatible, that's it. (oh, and no charging cable included).

The JLAB - Go Party portable bluetooth speaker is a super budget RGB clad portable speaker with a dial, buttons, and sound that’s extremely basic, but acceptable depending on your case. Looking for a quick purchase speaker to take on that camping trip? This probably fits the bill. For those expecting high quality powerful audio, I’ll say it right now: look elsewhere. JLab’s offering is entry level, with a price to match. If you take it for what it is, it offers extraordinary value. First of all this is, in the vein of JLab products, a very lightly packaged product. It’s wrapped in tissue paper inside a small JLab blue paper box. That said, when you get the product out, it feel very high quality. Most of the surface is clad in a soft but durable fabric. The top eighth or so of the device is clear plastic with a diffuser underneath capped with a plastic/rubber top. The top houses the buttons and dial. The dial is very satisfying and changes the volume level with no lag. Pushing the dial in play/pauses or does pairing. Flanking the dial are the next/previous buttons, as well as the power button - all of which have a satisfying click. Flipping the speaker over shows us the passive radiator which vibrates to help create the thump (what little there is). Pairing is easy enough, and JLab even offers a companion app which is quite comprehensive for the budget level of this speaker. The app offers a 10 band parametric equalizer that does greatly affect the output. There are 3 presets (JLab Signature, Balanced, and Bass Boost) as well as a custom slot for your tweaking. Also in the app is lighting control, which is one of the cooler features. The lights do a good job being responsive to the music, and offer several lighting effects. The effects are setup to be very rainbow friendly, but you can knock any of them down to a set of colors that are more your flavor (either by disabling the color, or changing it to a hue you want). Labsync is their setup for multi-speakers. This does seem quite easy, although I do not have another speaker to test with. The speaker offers music and movie modes, with better sync in movie mode (at the expense of audio quality). I listened to a few youtube videos and didn’t find the lag very noticeable in either mode. That said, the speaker was well paired with entertainment watching like this. Sound quality wise we are limited by the price point. The dual drivers pump out loud enough sound, but quickly distort when the volume is pushed. The passive radiator does a decent job producing bass, but it seems tuned somewhat poorly. Especially at higher volume, it tends to get overwhelmed. The speakers tend to shriek at these higher volumes. If we step back the volume a bit, the sound is more than adequate for basic listening, youtube watching, and more. The key is this device really fits personal listening more than party on the go that it advertises itself for. Overall, this is an amazing deal for the price point. The build quality is solid, the sound is adequate, and the battery life (from what I’ve used) has been great. I have no hesitation recommending this for personal listening and basic outdoor listening (in quiet environments). If you are considering a pair of these, I’d push that budget a bit higher for a better single speaker, but that said JLab’s Go.
