Customer Ratings & Reviews

Verdict: I like JLab from a few earbuds I own. I think they make good quality and affordable sound products. This is the case again for the Go Party speaker: it’s affordable, good quality, and great value for what you get. I think it’s important to manage expectations… this is not a speaker to run a large party! But it will do great in smaller environments or situations where portability is required. Initial Impressions. It’s small enough to easy carry by hand or put in any bag. It’s also big enough to no be easily lost. It’s quite light-weight. The lights are cool! Setup. Getting started is as easy as expected for a bluetooth device: power on, find the Party Go in your phone’s BT settings, and that’s it! App. I already had the JLab app on my cell phone, but if you don’t, I recommend installing it to get more capabilities from your speakers. The app is nicely designed, simple, and intuitive. Through the app, you can control the lights (ample options for customization, it’s actually really neat!), link to other Go Party speakers, adjust the equalizer (including bass boost), control power and battery settings, etc. Performance. The sound is ok - in all more than accetable for the size and price point of the speakers. Enjoyable volume is decent, easily filling a small room. Louder performance struggles in quality and in reach. Please note that if you are buying this and expect it to run a large party… that’s not going to happen, even with another 10 Party Go speakers. Considering the use case for this speaker is important for managing expectations. This is a highly portable speaker that is decently resistant to the elements with great battery life, a great app, cool lights, and decent sound quality and volume for a small environment - to take the the beach, throw in a backpack, etc. Things I love: - The price is really good - Simple and easy physical controls - Ability to sync with other Go Party speakers (up to 100), thats AWESOME! - IP56 Rating, for water, dust, and sand resistance - I like the loop strap; I can hook the speaker to my backpack with a small carabiner - Convenient volume knob - Good battery life without the lights, and still fairly decent when using the lights - USB-C charging Things to consider: - Sound is not the greatest, so manage expectations, but again, consider the price point! Overall, the JLab Go Party speaker is a great value for the money. I would highly recommend this speaker, especially for some use cases. For example, we are considering buying one or two more of these to get surround sound on a small patio.

So I've been testing out the new JLab Go Party Bluetooth Speaker the last couple weeks and have thoroughly enjoyed using it. It is very easy to use and for the price range, sounds just as good. To me JLab has always been that company that makes really good products (some may say are on the lower end of quality, but I beg to differ). And this speaker is no exception. First off the build quality of this speaker is amazing. Its cylindrical body has a nice feel and its very portable. The outer covering is of a mesh type cloth that cover the speaker all the way around. Also included for its portability is a hand strap on the backside of it. Above the strap on the back is the USB-C charging port. Note: A USB-C cable is NOT included in the package. JLab like most tech companies nowadays have stop shipping cables/chargers with certain devices. Not like we don't all have an influx of cable/chargers laying around. On top of the speaker is 3 push buttons and one larger dial/button. You can go back or move forwards in tracks and using the big dial turn up/down the volume. And to mute, simply press the big knob down. I have been using this speaker almost non-stop over the last couple of weeks and we have enjoyed it - it arrived around the new year so we've been jamming to it daily. Ands the runtime is rated for around 16 hours of playback and possibly more if you turn off the RGB lights. You can also download the JLab companion app which also lets you tweak its settings as well as change up the RGB lighting to your liking. You can also check for firmware updates through the JLab app as well. Now when it comes to sound, you get what you pay for, and lets be honest, while this speaker isn't gonna power or sound like you're at a full concert auditorium, but it does make house parties and gatherings just as fun. For the price range, it has just enough power and bass to get the party jumping. I would recommend this speaker to anyone looking for an easy and fun to use portable speaker. Oh and it also takes phone calls with the included mic. So yeah you can't go wrong with this speaker.

The speaker isn’t gonna win any audiophile awards. The bass response is muddy, almost nonexistent at times while the mids and highs can’t quite punch through. It’s clear that this device was made to almost be disposable. The LED party lights are a wasted feature for me at least. I don’t feel the need to have my little portable speaker feature RGB LEDs and I would much rather the manufacturer reflect the omission in the overall unit price. The size of the speaker is just right though for portability and I do like the overall design. A can/bottle design. You can expect about 20 hours of music playback and a little more if you don’t turn on the lights. I do really appreciate that it charges via USB-C and not micro USB. The bottom speaker is exposed so you may want to keep children away from it as well as water but splashing should be OK as long as it’s not too big of a wave. Submersion, however, is out of the question. This is a great device to fill the need for music in a small room. Using this speaker outdoors or at the beach is pointless as I am unable to decipher the music output.

This speaker isn't going to blow anyone's socks off but it's not very expensive and is definitely serviceable for most of your needs. If you're looking for some bass, though, steer clear. Setup is as simple as any bluetooth speaker. Hold the power button and it lets your know it's ready to pair. Just select the device in your bluetooth settings and you're ready to go! There's a mobile app if you want to update your firmware and adjust things like the custom EQ settings or turning off the light or voice prompts. Everyday controls can be accessed on the device, though. The speaker, overall, sounds pretty OK. It's not going to blow your socks off or anything but it sounds fine. Aside from the bass. If you're looking for any sort of bass, you aren't going to find it here. That's the main thing I noticed when playing a song with any kind of bass to it. It's not the end of the world because the rest of the sound is good enough, you just aren't going to go thumping with this one. Controls are pretty simple on the device. There's a knob for volume that clicks in to play/pause. You have arrows that navigate tracks (or if you hold them both for a second, changes the EQ). If you have more than one speaker, you can also hold the knob down to pair it with their JLab sync functionality, but I wasn't able to test this out. Bottom line, this is a low cost bluetooth speaker. It sounds good enough for that. You won't get much bass at all so if you're looking for something to shake the table you're playing it on, look elsewhere. If you just want an inexpensive speaker that sounds good enough, give this one a look.

This JLAB speaker was a nice surprise. When comparing price point to quality, it’s probably the best portable speaker “bang for your buck” that I’ve come across. While I usually prefer higher end speakers, I was pleasantly surprised at the features and sound quality. I’ve had wireless ear buds from JLAB and love them! The JLAB go party speaker is lightweight and portable. It easily fits in a backpack or purse to take on the go. It fits great in my golf bag! JLAB has an app to customize EQ settings and lighting. I played around with it but found that the basic setting is best as the speaker doesn’t pack much punch for bass. The lighting is a nice touch but I honestly could have done without it. The lighting also cuts the battery life from 16 hours to 8 so I prefer not to use it. Charging was simple. It has a strap for easy handling. It’s also waterproof but I’m always too nervous to test out these claims on any electronic device lol It comes in black, blue and pink but black was my favorite color choice.

Good battery life, but that's about all I can say for this speaker. If you want something for a beach trip that you don't mind if it gets messed up, this can be the speaker for you, but otherwise I think I'd look elsewhere. SOUND - The most important aspect of this speaker, and it's weakest point. The bass is fine, but the mid-range is very thin and the high frequencies very prominent. Everything sounds very tinny and thin. This is surprising given the size of this speaker. BATTERY - Good. It will easily last you a full day. APPEARANCE - I find the flashing colored lights around the top to be a bit annoying, but that's just my personal preference. It is nice that you can control the pattern or turn them off entirely. CONTROLS - These are nice. The buttons are all responsive, and it's nice to have a dial to control the volume. LABSYNC - A nice inclusion, but I'm having a hard time seeing where you would want to pair together a bunch of these speakers when the audio quality isn't really there.

The JLab Go Party is a great sounding portable blue tooth speaker. At only 8" tall (and 3x3) it's small enough to take anywhere - it even has a built in rubberized carrying strap. It's capable of up to 16 hours of battery life (8 hours with the lights) and I can say that after 7+ hours of nonstop play, mine was still at medium battery life and it can be recharged in about 3 hours. Although it only has 10 watts of power, the dual 2" full-range drivers and dual 2" passive woofers produce great sound with decent bass and clear highs. You can also utilize the custom EQ features in the JLab app, as well as adjust the RGB lighting. Since it's IP56 waterproof rated, it's great for outdoors and/or around the pool. Using the LabSync feature, you can pair up to 100 speakers for a great party-like atmosphere. You can also designate speakers as left or right for true stereo sound. I was surprised to see that the package did not include a charging cord but it arrived fully charged so I was able to enjoy it straight out of the box. Since it uses a USBC cable and only requires 5 watts, I was able to easily use a cable from another device. This also helps reduce the number of charging cables I have in the kitchen junk drawer! It's not the level of sound quality of some of the $200-300 speakers but I didn't expect it to be. However, it's an exceptional value, sounds great, and is one that I could take with me anywhere!

A great bluetooth speaker that sounds really good! Upon arrival, I charged it up fully first, then started the pairing process to my Samsung phone. It paired quickly and I was listening to music without any issues. The sound is great for its small size, and the party light is nice if you like that type of thing. My son paired it to his iphone and also had no issues with it. The app was easy to install and control the speaker from both Android and apple phones. I put this in my backpack and carried it around for a couple of weeks before writing my review. It worked without any problems and survived a few flights and travel around the country. The sound from it is good, but don't expect a lot of bass from this small speaker. It does great for what it is. The battery life is great, and I would typically get several days of random use out of it. I don't use the light feature on it, but my son does and likes it. I do like that it has a knob on top of it to control the volume as opposed to buttons like many other speakers like this use. Overall, it's a great small bluetooth speaker, another quality product from Jlab.

This speaker has really good sound for its size. It’s about the same size as a 20 oz tumbler, so it’s super easy to carry around for parties on the go. The RGB lighting on top is a fun touch. My 4 month old actually loves watching the colors change while listening to his favorite tunes. You can customize the lighting in the app to fit your mood, or just turn it off completely if you’re trying to keep the room dark. For the technical side, it has two 1.75-inch full-range drivers and two passive woofers. The sound quality is solid, but once you start pushing it to those higher volumes, you definitely start to hear some distortion. Because of that, I feel like you’d really need to use the LabSync feature to connect multiple speakers if you’re trying to use this in a loud outdoor environment or a big party. It’s rated IPX6 waterproof, so you don't have to worry about it getting splashed or caught in the rain, but I think it really shines in an indoor setting. In a living room or bedroom, you can keep the volume at a comfortable level where it sounds clear without needing a second speaker. I will say, if you're in a noisy party environment, I’m not sure just one of these is going to be enough to really fill the space. But if you're just hanging out with a small family of three or four in your own home, this speaker definitely gets the job done.

There a small size it good and this one is good and and sounds funner. Works with connect Bluetooth like the small same brand

Sounds great, good quality and unbeatable price too.
