This JLab Go Party speaker has a lot to offer for a very reasonable price. Even for a great value the quality of the materials and build seems very solid and durable. I like the media knob control as its easily identifiable and a simple turn of the knob decreases or increases the volume. Additional functions top controls allow for pausing, advancing, syncing to Bluetooth and utilizing LabSync.
LabSync allows one to sync multiple JLab speakers and it tops out at 100 speakers which is pretty amazing. Utilize the app to specify a speaker as left or right to create a 2-channel stereo system. Throw in the RGB lighting feature of this speaker to up the party atmosphere. Access the app to customize the RGB lighting, sound and controls to suit one’s own preference. Sound modifications can also be as easy as utilizing the EQ4 presets of JLab Signature, Balance or Bass Boost.
It’s quite impressive that the Go Party speaker can play for 16 hours on a full charge, but this will drop to 8+ hours when using the RGB lighting feature. Portability isn’t an issue either with a size that is about four inches longer than a soda can and the built in loop makes for easy carrying or hanging. The IPX6 waterproof rating provides for worry free use around pools, the beach or party drinks. Calls can be taken with the inclusion of a built-in microphone so it makes for handy use around the office or home.
One great idea for this speaker would be to use them as a great party gift for guests. Once the party is over and everyone has enjoyed the music over multiple synced JLab speakers just send them on their way with a Go Party speaker gift! Perfect and fun idea for adults or kids that doesn’t break the bank.
This is a fun speaker that offers a nice variety of features at a great price.

I picked the JLab Go Party Bluetooth Speaker after comparing it with a few other portable speakers in the same price range from other competitors. What stood out to me was the combination of sound quality, RGB lighting, app control, and battery life at this price point. Many others either had good sound with no lights, or lights but weaker audio. This felt like the best overall value.
Pros:
More powerful sound for the size
Customizable RGB lights (not just fixed colors)
App support for EQ and settings
Long battery life
Reasonable price compared to big-name brands
Sound Quality
The sound is surprisingly loud and clear for a portable speaker. The dual drivers and passive woofers give it strong bass without distortion, even at higher volumes. Vocals are clear, and highs don’t sound harsh. I use it daily, and it easily fills a room. I even take it into the bathroom while showering and can still hear everything clearly over running water.
Fit, Size, and Portability
It’s not super lightweight, but that actually feels like a good thing. The weight gives it a solid, sturdy feel, not cheap or hollow. It’s still easy to carry thanks to the built-in loop handle. I can easily take it to the beach, gym room, or move it around the house.
Color and Design
I got the black version, and it looks clean and modern. The RGB lighting is bright and fun without being overwhelming. You can change colors, patterns, and speed using the app, which is great for different moods—casual listening or a small party.
Ease of use & Installation
Setup is extremely easy. As soon as I turned it on, it said “ready to pair,” and my laptop and phone recognized it instantly. Bluetooth connection is fast and stable.
The controls on top are simple, and I really like the large volume knob. Pressing it to play or pause is very convenient.
App experience
The JLab app is easy to use and has options to Adjust EQ (Signature, Balanced, Bass Boost)
Customize RGB lighting
Change voice prompts and controls
Battery life
Battery life is very good. I didn’t time it exactly, but it feels close to the advertised hours (less with lights on). Charging is fairly quick, and you can use it again without waiting long.
Waterproofing
It’s rated IP56. I haven’t fully tested water exposure, but it handles bathroom steam and splashes without any issues. I wouldn’t worry about light rain or poolside use.
Bluetooth only (no AUX input). This works fine for me, but good to know if wired connection matters to you.
Slightly heavier than expected, but that adds to durability.
Value for money
For the price, this speaker delivers excellent value. You get strong sound, fun lighting, long battery life, solid build quality, and app customization—all in one package.
Overall, this is a great everyday speaker with party features when you need them. If you want loud, clear sound, customizable lights, easy setup, and good battery life without overpaying, the JLab Go Party speaker is a solid choice.

JLab audio gear generally strives to offer consumers the best bang for their buck, and the Go Party Speaker continues that trend.
The design and build quality of the speaker both receive top marks from me. It's simple and somewhat understated, but still looks reasonably classy. And the decision to opt for an actual volume knob rather than the buttons so many designs prefer these days wins a lot of points, as it significantly easier to adjust in environments where the lighting may not be ideal and just feels nicer in some undefinable way. The RGB effects are also surprisingly well realized, with a pretty broad range of colors available and a diffusion layer that does a great job blending more complex effects together. It's not particularly bright, you could certainly get into scenarios where they're overwhelmed in direct sunlight, but for most of the environments where I imagine this will be used it's more than sufficient. And battery life is downright fantastic. The box claims sixteen hours, which in my testing seemed like it might actually be a bit conservative. Since historically I pretty much never remember to recharge my portable audio devices until they've run out on me it's good to have one that's got enough endurance for multiple outings, and I imagine that many looking for a good option to bring camping or anywhere else that charging may not be feasible will find this to be a major selling point.
Unfortunately I did find myself a bit more mixed in regards to audio quality. It's not bad, exactly, but it's not great either. It can get plenty loud but regardless of settings the audio feels somewhat flat, much like what you'd get just playing music on your phone. Bass heavy content definitely suffers the most, but even with spoken word content I could just tell something wasn't quite there, and no amount of fiddling with the app was enough to dial it in. If you do just need loud music though it's going to do the job, particularly if you make use of the sync feature to pair multiple JBL speakers together.

Out of the box this speaker has been a bunch of fun to play with and use around the house and on the go. The first thing that I was wondering was how it sounds and don't let the small size fool you... it actually sounds really good and can be turned up very loud. The treble is good and the base is decent. Obviously it's not a thundering bass sound but if you paired up a few of these you definitely would have some good sound and I'll be getting another one to pair up with this one using the app. I couldn't imagine what it'd be like to pair a bunch of them at the same time but I think it would be the start to a party!
The JLab app is pretty good and of course is where you can control this speaker and pair additional ones to it. There are EQ settings and the ability to control the RGB lighting as well. It also supports the fast pairing where if you turn it on, newer phones should see it and let you pair quickly and easily.
The controls on the top are easy to use and the strap is handy. Unlike other speakers I have, this one is small and light and yet lasts all day on charge. It doesn't come with a charger, but uses USB-C so you can just use the same one you use to charge your phone which makes it easy to keep it topped up. I really couldn't find anything about this little speaker that I didn't like, and would absolutely recommend it if you're looking for a small one that just works. Granted, there are larger ones with louder bass, but for the size, I was not disappointed at all and I am sure with two (or more) together they'd put on a good show of sound. Very few of these, just turn on, and work without fuss and this is one of them. I'd absolutely recommend giving it a try.

Good speaker but the reason I purchased it was because I thought it had an auxiliary input. I wanted a small speaker for my guitar modelers. Required an aux connection.

I am a big JLAB Fan, they really produce a quality product with incredible sound. This speaker is no exception. I travel for my work and like to have music wherever I go. I needed something lightweight but could produce great rich sounds. If you need a speaker to fill a room in your house or on the go to the park or pool, this is the one you want. Easy to transport, easy to connect to your device and incredible rich sound.
It is always a good idea to fully charge the device when you first unbox it. Once fully charged it should get close to 16 hours of playback time. Pairing is super easy. Power the spark on, then go to your bluetooth settings on your mobile device and search for JLAB Go Party Speakers. Easy! LIkely there will be a firmware update to complete as well, this is pretty common so allow it to update before you start using the speaker.
There is a JLAB app which allows you to control the RGB lighting as well as the EQ Settings to fine tune your listening experience. You can even connect more than one JLAB speaker at a time through the app so you can have a truly immersive experience.
