Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the exceptional sound quality, good portability, and long battery life of the product. They also value its smooth connectivity, solid volume for its size, and water resistance, along with its strong bass and convenient smaller size. However, some customers find its weight to be a drawback and mention the somewhat high price and non-USB charging port as minor concerns.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    Fantastic overall sound. This speaker has plenty of power and does not distort at higher volume levels. It’s a great outdoor speaker and can easy fill a large room with sound.

    I'm very pleased with this device. It's powerful despite it's size and I like the shoulder strap. It's good for a nice leisurely walk on the beach or the park.

    The sound is great, and connecting and using it is easy. We bought one for our boat and it was just what we needed. We bought another one for a gift and my son loves it.

    The only reason for not a 5 star is I haven't had the opportunity to bring outdoors in the elements and crank the volume.

    Sound quality for this speaker is outstanding. Very clear and full of bass. Purchased this JBL on sale for only $160. That’s $200 off! Can’t beat the deal.

    Bought as a replacement unit to my old one... this one is much better. I am pleasantly surprised by how much bass thump this unit has. I highly recommend this JBL speaker.
