JBL GO2 Waterproof Ultra Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Rich Bass - Red | Wireless Outdoor Speaker for Beach, Pool, Hiking & Travel

Bought a black GO2 in Feb 23' for 29.00. The title says it all. This is possibly the best Bluetooth speaker out there for less than $30-35 right now. ---It's got a solid build feel. The front is a metal mesh, the rest some durable resin coated plastic. It'll probably survive a moderate amount of drops and dings. ---It's small and very portable. Its portability options are better with one of the silicon cases with the carbiner clip on it. With the case, it can be hung from things (lanyards, belt loops, tree branches, whatever...) With no case, it can fit into cargo pockets, chest pockets on most shirts and jackets. ---The sound quality is really good. Deep basses could be better, but they're good plenty good for such a small speaker with a passive radiator. The volume range is nice. It's loud enough to it clearly around 50 feet away indoors. ---The run time is great. I usually get about 6 hours of podcast use from a full charge even though the spec sheet says 5 hours is expected. The charge time is as advertised, it's about 2.5 hours from empty to full. ---The GO2 has a 3.5mm AUX input! This was a definitely a factor for my buying it. This speaker can be used with things that don't have Bluetooth as long as they have an AUX out port. The GO3, while beefier and has better bass, only supports Bluetooth, it has no AUX. ---Extra bonuses - The GO2 has a microphone and can work as a speaker phone when paired with your mobile. It's also waterproof, so it's good for use in the shower or at the pool. All in all, the GO2 gives a huge bang for the buck in a pretty small package.
