JBL Go 3 Eco - Portable Mini Bluetooth Speaker, big audio and punchy bass, IP67 waterproof and dustproof, 5 hours of playtime, Made in part with recycled materials (Eco Blue)

After testing several portable speakers over the years, I can confidently say this one stands out from the crowd. Whether you’re an audiophile or just someone who enjoys good music without the hassle, this speaker delivers where it counts.Sound Quality:The audio is crisp, balanced, and surprisingly powerful for the size. Bass is deep without being muddy, mids are warm and smooth, and the highs are clean and sharp without harshness. Whether you're listening to podcasts, hip-hop, classical, or gaming audio, it handles it all with clarity.Volume & Range:This speaker gets loud. Loud enough to fill a medium-sized room or provide background music at a small gathering — and it does it without distortion, even at max volume. Bluetooth range is strong too — I’ve walked over 30 feet away with no drops or stutters.Battery Life:Battery life is excellent — around 10 to 15 hours depending on volume and use. It charges quickly and holds power well, even if you leave it unused for a few days. Great for travel, park days, or just moving around the house.Build & Design:The design is sleek and compact. It feels solid in the hand, with a good weight that doesn’t feel flimsy but is still easy to carry. Some versions come water-resistant (IPX5 or higher), which is perfect for poolside or bathroom use.Ease of Use:Pairing is instant, and reconnecting is automatic once you’ve linked it to your device. The physical buttons are responsive and intuitive, and if you’re using a smart version, voice control via Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant works flawlessly.Extras:Some models come with stereo pairing, EQ customization via app, or multi-room connectivity — all great bonuses if you want to expand your setup.

We picked this up mainly for travel and outdoor use, and it’s been better than expected. For such a small speaker, the sound is loud, clear, and has a nice punch of bass without distortion. It easily fills a room and still sounds great outdoors.It’s a great value for the price — especially considering how durable and waterproof it is (IP67 rated). Perfect for small spaces like hotel rooms, bathrooms, or an office. It fits right in a bag or backpack.Battery life is solid, and the buttons are simple and easy to use — no guesswork, just straightforward controls. Bluetooth connects quickly and stays stable.Overall, this speaker delivers great functionality, excellent sound, and portability without breaking the bank. If you want something that’s compact but still delivers, this is it.

LOVE IT!!!! This tiny thing packs so much sound!! I’m a stay at home mom and most days listen to podcasts while my baby naps or plays. We have a huge apartment, but I can hear it playing from other rooms! The Bluetooth connectivity is quick and easy to use. I have to admit that the color is the first thing that caught my eye. JBL is a well known, high quality brand and I love that these little speakers can add a little bit of color as a personal touch. I’ve had it for months now and I use it a few times a week. I’ve only had to change it a handful times. The battery lasts forever! Also, my toddler has gotten a hold of it a few times and dropped it. Not one ding or scratch so far!

I bought this last summer on Prime Day on sale for $30. I also bought a $90 speaker from an off brand at the same time that was much bigger. This JBL at 1/3 of the price and 1/4 of the size and outperformed that other speaker in pretty much every way. It is smaller, more portable, cheaper, and has a higher quality build than the off brand. I can listen to either podcasts or music on this speaker and both sound good with a decently high volume. This can't be used as a party speaker or anything where you are really trying to fill a large room with sound, but for working outside nearby, taking a shower, or just hanging out in the living room listening to some music this is a good option.It is water resistant so I can use it in the shower just fine. I've accidentally dropped it from a height of about 4'-5' more than once with no damage or issues, it seems as good as new other than some paint I accidentally got on it once when painting a room. The volume control and play buttons are well marked, easy to access, and easy to use. They give you a nice "click" when you press them for tactile feedback. The power and Bluetooth buttons are also well designed and give similar feedback and you won't likely accidentally press one of them.The biggest cons are that the Bluetooth connection does not show the battery charge level so you just have to use it for a while and charge it when it dies, or whenever you think about it. The battery does last at least one full work day. I can't say for sure exactly how long it lasts since I tend to use it for a few hours at a time rather than all day, but it lasts for at least several days of a few hours at a time with no issues. I would have liked it to display the charge percentage either on the device or on the bluetooth status bar on my phone though.This speaker also doesn't have a lot of bass to it. It has enough for a non-audiophile to enjoy all types of music including rock and metal, but no one would confuse this for something with a subwoofer. It also gets fairly loud for its size, but won't work well for playing music at a house party or backyard party where you want to fill an area with music. Use this more a personal, portable speaker and you should be happy with the purchase.I've had this speaker about 9 months now and would highly recommend it to someone looking for a good quality small Bluetooth Speaker for either music, podcasts, or audiobooks.

Sooo nice ! No matter what the occasion I always bring my speaker with me and this JBL is the perfect throw in your purse or backpack size! Not only that the battery life is great I took it to the beach one time and it lasted the whole day! And it connects super quick to your device! It’s such a good speaker for the price!
