JBL Go 3 Portable Bluetooth Wireless Speaker, IP67 Waterproof and Dustproof Built-in Battery – Squad – Boomph’s Comprehensive Ultimate Performance Cloth Solution for Your On-The-Go Sound Experience

Power without the price
I chose JBL over all the other brands and bluetooth speakers that I was looking at, including the HomePod Mini from Apple and was rewarded with a speaker that I am more than pleased to have.I was looking for a Bluetooth speaker for the office that could be charged by USB-C, provide a better experience than my phone speakers, and have the sound be really soft so that others walking by my work office wouldn’t hear, and when they would enter my office, we can carry a conversation without me having to turn off my speaker. The JBL provides that experience, coupled with the iPhone to get granular volume control. Now, I can have an ambience that suits my workflow. All I have to do is fire up Apple Music, Spotify, Podcast, or my favorite radio station.Exciting part is that when I am playing my music on the phone and the JBL isn’t turned on, the moment that I do turn the speaker on, my iPhone switches the music to the speaker. It works flawlessly. As it is supposed to do!The quality of sound is representative of the JBL brand. I was concerned about the size of the speaker, but JBL did really well with providing a speaker that is competitive with all the other Bluetooth speakers – making it a no-brainer to get this one.JBL brand is important to me. My GF had a JBL speaker that she plugged into her computer in the early 2000’s (wires to each speaker, power cord, and another wire to the computer – what a mess) and I enjoyed listening to music belting out from those speakers. She is a music enthusiast and because of her experience with JBL, that is the brand that she prefers. For Christmas two years ago, I got her JBL Flip 5 to replace the older wired speakers and she absolutely loves it and I love the sound coming from it, also!How does this compare with the Flip 5? I think the Flip 5 has more bass and obviously will fill a larger room with sound. It’s great for outdoors when you have a lot of activity, noise, kids screaming, etc. The Flip 5 would have worked for my office at work, but the JBL Go 3 is actually better as it is smaller, I don’t need to have the music pumped up (although it can be loud!), and I can place it anywhere in the office, or put it in my coat pocket and bring it home for the weekend. It is more versatile.The HomePod Mini was a preferred speaker as I love the extended features. I thought long and hard about getting one for the office (I have two at home) but I just couldn’t see putting an Apple speaker in a work officer environment.I looked at all the other brands on Amazon. In the end, it was the JBL brand, the quality that I could expect (and that came true), the price (very reasonable) and the size. I am more than thrilled with my purchase. It works seamlessly with my iPhone.

like i said it’s tough, and loud for what it is
