Very disappointed in the delivery considering all the great reviews. It kept needing to be reset on the Bluetooth and Google Assistance. Not a good product unless they can improve the malfunctions.

It wakes up upon Hey Google, listens to commands but doesnt respond and becomes unresponsive subsequently. Looks like Jbl has some hardware issues because my other google home mini responds correctly I would not recommend jbl 300 There are a lot of posts related to this issue on forums

The JBL Link 300 delivers most of the features you want in a smart speaker along with above-average sound - especially if you love bass.

Booming bass and full vocals; Wide sound field; Gets really loud

Lacks crisp treble tones; Can't make phone calls

If you don't care too much about portability, the Sonos One sounds significantly better. However, the JBL Link 20 is still a solid smart speaker with better sound than some, and is worth considering if you see it sold at a good price.

Fully portable; Has Bluetooth as well as Google Home; Good mic array; Full sound

Not as dynamic of exciting sounding as the best; Constrained soundstage; No aux input

A rugged, rechargeable speaker with Google Assistant onboard, the Link 20 has all the voice-activated smart skills of a Google Home but without the need to be tethered to a plug socket all the time.

Confident sound; Rugged; waterproof build; Responsive microphones; Built-in Bluetooth

No Google Assistant without Wi-Fi; Sound is solid rather than stunning

Small, smart, and a solid sound – the Link 20 ticks a lot of the right boxes The Link 20 is a fine jack-of-all-trades speaker. Its portability, Google Assistant, and above-average sound quality mean that for those who want to play their music with minimal fuss, JBL has provided an easy solution.

Good sound quality; Google Assistant; 24-bit/96kHz streaming; IPX7 waterproofing

Sound quality could be more nuanced and authoratitive; Google Assistant needs wi-fi connection; No 3.5mm input

The JBL Link 20 is simply the cheapest, most versatile Bluetooth speaker with Google Assistant built-in. It might not outperform larger rivals for sound quality, but its blend of sound quality, smart assistant convenience and sensible design are hugely appealing all the same.

IPX7 waterproofing; Google Assistant built-in

Medicore sound quality; No 3.5mm auxiliary jack

Really happy with this product. Gives of a fab sound. Easy to set up and use. Looks fab. Would highly recommend.

Harman brand JBL has jumped aboard the smart speaker train with the Link series, a range of Wi-Fi speakers with Google Assistant. An alternative to Mountain View's own Google Home speaker-assistants, we try out the JBL Link 300 and its big brother, the JBL Link 500.

Bluetooth-enabled; Good sound; Multi-room operation with speakers from other manufacturers; Google Chromecast built in

No battery; Lacks wired input; Calls not possible

Just as the JBL Link 10 presents a very strong alternative to the Google Home, the JBL Link 300 is a solid foil to the Google Home Max , or the Amazon Echo Plus . It doesn't have the benefits of portability or ruggedness that the Link 10 offers, but it's significantly less expensive than the Home...

Google Assistant voice control; Reasonably powerful, balanced sound; Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Google Cast

Not portable or rugged; Mono
