WOW! Listen to the Thunder.....Listen to the Roar!

Sometimes ----- Good things do come in small packages. Very, Very impressed with this portable speaker. Phenomenal Bass reproduction and crystal clear highs as well. JBL has another home run here.

Durable and reliable

This speaker is amazing. It's survived so much. It survived hitting rocks in a river when it slipped in during a bit of family adventuring, and then a few hours in a lake when I accidentally kicked it off of my paddle board. When I recovered it from the lake, it still worked amazing, and a year later, it is still in use.

Excellent little speaker.

It is an excellent little speaker. It helps if the machine you have it linked to has an equalizer so you can adjust the sound how you want it. It is not super to use to watch videos as it has a split second delay between the sound and the image but that is the issue with all Bluetooth speakers it seems. For listening to music or audio books it is outstanding.
