The May holidays. It is very good to spend this time in nature. Well, it would be nice to take a speaker outside to listen to your favorite music. Here's an idea for you, JBL Go for 2500 rubles ...
Design, construction
JBL has a very good team and I'm not surprised at all that even super budget Go looks great. The packaging is simple, made of transparent plastic, there is a speaker inside, an orange charging cable and documentation. Pay attention, even thought about the cable, like a trifle but very nice. The speaker case is made of rubberized plastic, at the end there is a 3.5 mm jack, a microUSB input, the front part is covered with a metal grill, under which there is a small light indicator. On the top, there is a power button, Bluetooth, volume buttons and answer a call. Surprisingly, this inexpensive speaker also did not forget about the speaker for answering the call. 
The column is available in as many as seven colors, these are black (the most boring), blue, yellow, pink, red, white, orange, mint, I recommend choosing some bright color, well, what is it, some kind of sadness and dullness around? Moreover, it is spring now.
You can see all colors in the picture. The column is small, fits into any pocket, dimensions are 68.3 x 82.7 x 30.8 mm. There is also a groove at the end for attaching a strap; it will come in handy to hang the speaker on the handlebars of a bicycle or somewhere else. In general, the impressions from the design and assembly are only positive. Small and beautiful device, a big thank you to the JBL design team.
Functions
With this speaker, you can listen to music by connecting it to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, in addition, there is a 3.5mm jack. Note that there is also a speaker for conversations, and the Go's voice quality is not bad.
Music
The speaker has one speaker and it plays very well, loudly (and there is a volume reserve), clean, very good bass, but if someone doesn't like something, then this column costs only 2,500 rubles. When you say this, all questions disappear at once. I will not even develop the topic about sound especially, because here it is not bad, and the point - the nuances and so on, let's leave it for the big, "grown-up" JBLs. It is gratifying that the company has enough strength to release solutions like Go and serious systems for home use.
conclusions
“Focusing on customer demand, we see that people increasingly need devices“ for every day ”: simple in functionality, convenient to use, high-quality and as portable as possible. The new JBL Go audio system has all of these advantages, and with its affordable price it will be affordable for a wide range of buyers, ”says Evgeny Konov, general manager HARMAN Russia. For some time I can not disagree with the phrase for the press release, indeed, Go is currently a unique offer on the market and the column arrived just in time. In times of crisis, these are the things that are valuable - great design, all the necessary functions, good quality sound, Bluetooth support and 2500 rubles in retail. This is what consumers need.
Half of the summer has already passed, but the holiday season is just gaining momentum. It's time to think about not parting with your favorite music anywhere. This will help a miniature JBL GO speaker... Portable audio is everywhere: on the beach, fishing, or just cycling. Let's figure out what else is interesting this time offered by JBL.
The speaker package is simple, as, in fact, is the functionality of the device itself. Inside the transparent package, the future owner will find a bright orange Micro USB cable and accompanying documentation. That's all.
It would be nice if the manufacturer also put some brightly colored lace in the package for attaching the speaker to a backpack or jeans. Approximately what the reader can observe in the introductory image to this review... This would be quite a logical step, given that we are dealing with a very portable device, and the name itself speaks of the adventurous nature of the gadget.
Design
The entire range of colors that JBL uses in their latest products is clearly aimed at a younger audience. Indeed, the speaker colors are bright, stylish and toy-like. Mi-mi-mishnoe mood is also present in the design of the hero of today's article. JBL GO is found in nature in blue, as well as black, gray, orange, pink, red, turquoise and yellow. Only the white shade has disappeared somewhere, but, of course, you can live without it and, moreover, very well.
The device control buttons are placed on the upper surface and are made flush with the body. They flex slightly when pressed and have excellent response.
On the right side there is a Micro USB connector for charging the device, a microphone hole and a 3.5 mm audio input. It is also strange that the gadget is not equipped with a cable with a mini-jack on both ends for wired connection of the speaker to the sound source. As a result, the user has to purchase such a wire, and this, by the way, is an additional hassle. Oh no no no!
On the left side there is an impressive loop for attaching a lanyard to carry the speaker. It is recessed into the body, each corner of which, by the way, is straight and not smoothed in any way.
Now the trend is to have slightly rounded corners wherever it can be applied. However, in the case of JBL GO, such an out-of-the-box design approach looks very organic. In the hands of the column, it looks like such a brick, and together with the Soft-Touch surface, you get real pleasure from using the gadget. There is no that cheap gloss or plastic with a specially processed metal look, as is found in cheap Chinese crafts.
Everything is stylish, high quality, but at the same time frivolous and casual.
On the bottom, on the surface, various, uninteresting Technical information regarding the product. From the general canvas appearance it does not knock out.
On the front side, we see a metal mesh covering the speaker.

Connection and nuances of work
The gadget is connected in two ways: via Bluetooth or via a regular 3.5 cable from both ends. The operating time from the built-in battery in such cases does not differ much from each other, so it makes no sense to try to save power by connecting the device via a wire. Still, the data transfer version is 4.1, which means very low power consumption.
The process of connecting the speaker to a new sound source (smartphone, tablet, computer, etc.) is very quick and easy. No dancing in a tambourine: I turned on the visibility mode on both devices (single pressing of the Bluetooth key on the speaker) and after 10-15 seconds the connection will be established.
During the operation, no communication errors or random breaks were noticed. Keep the sound source nearby (up to about 5 meters), do not obstruct the signal path (walls, other wireless connections) and you will be fine.
If the column starts to turn off periodically and you have to turn it on again, then most likely this means a quick discharge of the built-in battery. By the way, this is also accompanied by a blinking red LED under the speaker's metal mesh on the front side. In playback mode, the indicator is solid blue.
Acoustics can also act as a Handsfree device. The subscriber's speech is heard from the main and only speaker, and the built-in noise canceling microphone is designed to capture the speaker's voice. The microphone perfectly picks up the voice at a distance of up to 30 centimeters. You can communicate at a greater distance from the speaker, but the caller will hear the voice worse.
By the way, the gadget is connected to only one sound source. Connecting to two or more devices at the same time is not about JBL GO.
Sound quality
The 40mm speaker delivers 3W of sound output. This is quite enough to inform the whole street about your presence, if the speaker is with you on a walk or while cycling. In addition, sound can fill an entire apartment (not even a room) with a footage ranging from 120 to 150 meters. I will not vouch for larger rooms, I haven’t tried it.
It is gratifying that at maximum volume there are no wheezes, whistles and other extraneous noises from the substantial voltage of the converter.
The column is quite good for listening to simple to medium-complex styles of music.
Hard rock, metal or dubstep is not worth listening to. Of course, you won't be able to hear all the juice of such compositions. In general, this is typical of any device belonging to the category of portable.
If you place the speaker on some flat, resonating surface (wooden shelf, parquet, etc.), you can hear something similar low frequencies... Normal bass, of course, cannot be extracted, but JBL GO can still play a little.
Autonomous work
The manufacturer claims 1.5 hours of charging the device and 5 hours of continuous music playback. In what mode and with what settings is not specified. Perhaps it is worth supplementing this information with real recall about JBL GO.
At the maximum set volume, connected to a sound source (iMac 27 '') via Bluetooth, the speaker lasted 2 hours 38 minutes. Further, the constant disconnections of the wireless connection began, which I already mentioned above. Probably, it could still play sound through a cable for some time, but in this case it is worth counting on any serious music playback time. We put the speaker on charge and wait 1 hour 39 minutes - the time it takes for the gadget to fill the built-in battery with 100% charge. I charged using the supplied cable from the USB connector of a stationary computer. If you use an AC adapter with a current of about 2A, the charging speed will increase as expected.
If you set the volume to an average value, you can count on an indicator of autonomy close to that declared by the manufacturer.
Outcome
Now JBL GO can be bought for 1,990 rubles. The price is clearly slightly higher than the average amount that is usually given for such gadgets. However, there are devices on the market that are significantly cheaper than our acoustics (Chinese noname-crafts), and gizmos that are many times more expensive (products from Dr. Dre and other brands). The owner of the JBL GO receives a striking design and a recognizable name on the case. speaker system... In terms of sound quality and loudness, our system still does not provide any obvious advantages.
Usually, such devices are purchased as a gift. And what? It looks stylish, it is relatively inexpensive, the brand is famous, it sounds good, and it will come in handy on the farm someday.
On the other hand, the column can be purchased for yourself (oh). Just recently, I saw a man aged 60+ riding a bicycle on the street, with a small portable acoustics... Music sounds, and the cyclist calmly goes about his business. And you know, such a picture is inspiring. An environmentally friendly, free ride to work in fine weather can be additionally decorated with your favorite music. And then people turn around, smile and nod their heads respectfully.
