JBL Go 3 review: you can take this tiny Bluetooth speaker anywhere

The JBL Go 3 is ultra-portable and stylish

Compact and portable ; Decent sound quality ; Waterproof design

Takes a while to charge ; No microphone or manual EQ ; Average battery life

The JBL Go 3 is a tiny portable speaker that you can easily carry around with you. It looks cool and it'll survive drops, dust and splashes. You won't get wall-shaking sound but it's still powerful enough to use in most settings whether that's at the...

JBL Go 3 review

How does this soap-sized speaker scrub up for sound?

Sensible treble ; Fuller bass ; More volume

Poor battery life ; Not very durable finish

JBL’s newest soap-sized speaker sounds good – but the finish and battery life won’t wash with today’s class leaders

JBL Go 3 review: Tiny $40 Bluetooth speaker with big improvements

Like the more expensive JBL Clip 4 ($70), the Go 3 is available in multiple color options. The speaker is designed to play either in a vertical position or laid flat, with a rubberized bottom (and rubberized ribs on its side) to keep it from moving...

Pocket-size speaker with impressive sound for its small size Improved, more rugged design IPX 67 water resistance (waterproof and dustproof) Charges via USB-C Integrated loop

Battery life is only 5 hours No speakerphone capability

The JBL Bluetooth speaker that received the biggest improvements for 2021 is among the company's smallest. The JBL Go 3 has a completely new look -- it's now covered in durable fabric instead of having the naked plastic design of its Go predecessors --...

JBL Go 3 Review

JBL makes plenty of large, powerful Bluetooth speakers, but the Go 3 isn't one of them. At $39.95, the Go 3 is about as portable (and affordable) as it gets—it'll fit in any backpack or tote without issue. It's also fully waterproof, making it ideal...

Rich, crisp, relatively powerful audio for the size Compact, easily portable design Fully waterproof Affordable

No speakerphone Limited onboard controls Weak battery life

JBL's Go 3 speaker delivers solid wireless audio performance in a waterproof, easily portable design for a low price.

JBL GO 3 review - small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, yet big sound

It's amazing how many options there are for portable sound these days with Bluetooth speaker in every price range, to be honest, most people would get all

A great portable speaker with a big sound, great design all in a hand held package at a crazy low price

JBL Go 3 review: A punchy, pocket-sized waterproof speaker

The JBL Go 3 is a cheap Bluetooth speaker you can take anywhere — even underwater

Very affordable ; Portable and waterproof ; Relatively long battery life ; Six color options

Sound is warm but lacks detail

While it doesn’t entirely avoid the weaknesses of small, cheap Bluetooth speakers, the JBL Go 3 is an impressive little unit with full waterproofing, plenty of bass and better-than-expected battery life.
