If the bass boosting sounds like it might be too full for you, there are Bluetooth speakers that still deliver solid low frequency presence in this price range (and lower), but don't necessarily sound like they're packing a subwoofer.

Exceptionally powerful audio performance with booming bass and crisp highs; Portable despite its power; Waterproof

Expensive; App lacks EQ; Not for purists seeking flat response-style sound signature

It must be fun to work at JBL. For years now, we've covered various JBL Bluetooth speakers, and they've become increasingly ... bonkers. Where some companies put out relatively predictable iterations on the prior year's portable speakers, we've seen JBL's speakers become waterproof, gain the ability...

No, really . You might recall that up to this point, my favorite portable speaker ever has been the also larger than normal Harman Kardon Go+Play - that's the speaker that replaced the Zeppelin Wireless in my living room.

Bought this for something more portable than my DJ gear so we could keep the hotel afterparties LIT af. So far so good, great sound and range, plus it's expandable similar to the Sonos for a fraction of the cost.

Wow!! This blaster is incredible! The sound and power this puts out is truly incredible. Expensive yes, but oh my God it's worth it. I have no regrets and either will you.

Sound; bass & highs; battery life is insane wow!

Absolutely nothing

I am quite happy with this product and JBL has proven again to release good bluetooth speakers. Sound quality is good (not like Bang & Olufsen), material is ok and also battery life.

Funny that. Sometimes you buy something you don't want i.e. when you want a healthy delicious meal so you buy a salad thinking it's what you want but then you eat it and you realise that your expectations and the bowl of wet cardboard you paid for are actually not compatible.

Purchased This speaker recently for Its maximum Battery life battery , Waterproof and Great Sounding system with Bass and up to 24 Hours of Battery life Besides it being abit chunky and Heavy its a great purchase and would buy another for summer period at the beach

Just when we thought JBL's wireless speakers couldn't get any bigger (or smaller for that matter), they go ahead and shock us with another portable player, the JBL Boombox. Get the details on this handheld speaker in our JBL Boombox Review.

This thing just blows everything out of the water. The bass is heavy, mids are out in front and clean while the treble does sound pushed a little, however still controlled. Bring it to 70% and this thing fills a massive area with sound and bass that can be felt.
