Customer Ratings & Reviews

While the JBL Bluetooth speaker had great sound when it worked there were too many issues with connectivity and other not to to JBL standards....Unfortunately I returned this item...

The items is worth buying when on sale for $149.00, since there are newer models. Works very well

Fullness of sound is how JBL should market this amazing speaker. It delivers the same level of performance that its high end JBL Extreme speakers delivers, but designed as a non-portable speaker that has applications that make it a home automation centerpiece with integration to the Google Assistant. While not flawless if you are a music lover you will really appreciate the deep bass, balanced mids, and crisp trebles that this speaker can deliver. I'm actually afraid to turn the speaker completely up because it's clear that this speaker can get very loud and can easily fill my whole home with sound. If you're looking to throw a party and want a speaker that can deliver and at the same time makes it easy to be a DJ because with Google Play Music makes it easy to keep playing music then this is a fantastic choice. It's power cable does have a power supply attached to it and as such it may be slightly difficult to find a place to have it tucked away. Voice recognition is spot on and easily recognizes various voices making it easy to ask it questions. Installation and setup is very straightforward with the Google Home app. I do wish that there were lights on the speaker that make it more easy to recognize when the speaker recognized your voice, but trust me...it did and you can just say what you need to. Overall the speaker is quite awesome and makes a good fit into any home.

JBL has done a wonderful job with this intuitive Bluetooth speaker! The unit arrived packaged exceptionally well within a nice enclosure with a carrier handle. Setup was very user friendly and easy to employ! Wow, I must say that “Google Assistant” is far superior to “Alexa” in my humble opinion. As an owner of both, Google Assistant responds so much easier, informative and reliable. There are times I can ask “Alexa” questions and I either get, “I don’t know” or anything! JBL has certainly lived up to its name with great bass, clear audio and reliable communications. I immediately requested “Google Assistant” to play my Pandora list and this task was quickly and efficiently done. Overall, AWESOME JOB JBL!!!

My cousin is a bit of an audiophile. He loved his gift! He said it has great range.

Perfect for the money... it took awhile to figure it out. This was steal for the money.

I have to learn how to use this product first so far so good parish up easy works real well

I love it listen to it all day.my daughter loves to put her favorite music

I read many reviews before I purchased it. After one week of trial, I returned it and bought a similar one that was a fraction of the cost at Best Buy.

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It doesn’t like to stay connected to your device at all. It will drop the Bluetooth even only 5 feet away. The sound quality is ok but what’s annoying is you get what sound like record scratch sounds fairly often. Makes me wonder if the speaker can handle certain frequencies ok. Setup was annoying - you have to download the google home app just to get it to connect to Bluetooth.

great speaker. Only bad thing it’s not portable!!!

Google Assistant works great, even talking in a low voice from across the room. The speaker does not quite give the room filling sound of other speakers in the same price group.

does what it's supposed to do, but overall, would go with something with screen--just speaker doesn't make sense.

This is basser the links 20 but not as clear and can't be transported well it's good if u can get it cheap

I am going to be very honest. When I received this JBL I was excited only because I can’t live without Google Assistant or Alexa and this had the former but I thought it was just one more speaker with an AI assistant built in but it is so much more. Sure, JBL is not exactly synonym for bad quality but sometimes good companies jump into trend bandwagons without much care. It is not the case for the Link 300. Although it has Bluetooth and I did notice a bit of a delay from my iPhone, I did not care much about that because it also connects and streams via Wi-Fi, which is tens of times better than Bluetooth. There is no comparison because the sound is not compressed and due to the quality of the speaker and good size of the woofer, I experienced rich acoustics. Of course my love for this speaker is further strengthened because I can command it with my voice and get any information available on Google, have it tell me about the weather as well as a few jokes, and control my Phillips hue lights and my Bose sound system. My only complaint is one that I have about other AI assistants such as Alexa. It cannot control iTunes or Amazon music natively due to competition with Google’s similar service. However, it can control Pandora, Spotify and other services without any hacking. It is the best Bluetooth speaker I own and ironically Bluetooth is not what I care most about it.

I was looking for a blue tooth speaker and the clerk at BB recommended this item. It is not a blue tooth speaker, it need wifi to operate. Never used, took back. Money was cherrfully and promptly refunded

The setup for this JBL - Link 300 speaker was easy to navigate. I downloaded the Google Home app, followed the simple process, and I was up and running in a minute or two. I was looking down at my phone, finalizing some setup details, and asked the device to play music from my music streaming service. The music came on immediately while I was still looking at my phone. When I heard the richness and quality of the music coming from that speaker, it instantly demanded my full attention. I stared at the thing for a full minute. I just could not believe how rich the sound was. I use both the Android and iOS versions of the app. I noticed when I'm playing music from my streaming service, and I hit the home button on my iOS device, the music stops streaming. It gets annoying when I hear a streaming song I like, and press the home button on my device to see what the song is, and the internet music stops playing. Grrrr! That isn't the case when I'm playing the songs contained on my Mp3 device. I began putting the speaker through its paces by playing a variety of music. The first track I played was a popular song with a bass boosted version. Usually I start at the high end when I test speakers, but I HAD to see how this speaker handled deep, booming bass. The bass was impressive! Booming bass was resonating off every wall in the room; I feared for my windows! However, as good as the bass was, I did hear some distortion, but not bad enough to affect my opinion of the speaker, or the rating I gave. The music quality superseded its minor flaws. It excelled at midtones, but less so with the highs. When I played jazz, the lowtones in the music definitely competed with the saxophone and the piano. That's fine for most music, not so much for jazz and classical. Having said all that, I STILL gave this bad boy five stars. I just fell in love with the quality of music emanating from a stand alone speaker. I own other speakers that are expensive and from big name manufacturers, but this JBL - LINK 300 is the speaker I kick it with the most.

I returned this speaker because it was connected to google. I wanted something easy to set up and easy to use, but this one just kept saying - in that horrible voice - that I should go to google.

The unit sounds nice, but will not support some standard features such as routines and alarms. JBL support is not helpful. Will return.
