Unfortunately, like many small speakers, it doesn't get very loud and lacks low-bass, so you can't feel the thump and rumble in bass-heavy music like EDM. You can also connect Google Assistant or Siri from your smartphone to the speaker, and it even comes with an AUX port you can use to wire older devices to it. You can connect it to other JBL speakers that support the JBL Connect+ feature when you want to create a stereo pair or amplify your audio without increasing its volume. Its fairly well-balanced sound profile out-of-the-box is suitable for listening to lots of different audio content. This small stereo Bluetooth speaker comes in many different colors you can choose from, and its small size and carrying strap make it easy to take with you when you're out and about.

It also doesn't support voice assistants, which may disappoint those who rely on them. Unfortunately, there's some compression present at max volume, so your audio doesn't sound as clean at louder volume settings. Also, it has an incredible battery life that can last almost 24 hours from a single charge, though this can depend on your usage. It comes with a PartyBoost feature, so you can connect it with other PartyBoost-compatible speakers when you want your audio to fill a large room without increasing the speaker's volume. It has a neutral sound profile, making it suitable for listening to a variety of audio content, and it can get pretty loud. It's also well-built, with an IPX7 rating for water resistance, meaning it's certified to be immersed in up to a meter of water for 30 minutes, so you can easily take it outdoors with you. Although it's much larger than the JBL Clip 4 that comes with a built-in carabiner hook, this speaker has a built-in carrying handle to help with transporting, and you can easily carry it with one hand. The best JBL portable speaker we've tested is the JBL Boombox 2. It's a solid choice if you're looking for a good Bluetooth JBL speaker for music and is even one of the best speakers for parties that we've tested. Fortunately, it comes with built-in wheels and a telescopic handle to help with transporting it. It's also heavier and bulkier than the JBL PartyBox 110 and JBL PartyBox On-The-Go. Unfortunately, there's some compression present at max volume, so your audio may not sound as clean at louder volumes. It also comes with 'Mic' and 'Mic or Guitar' inputs and other karaoke-related settings that may please musicians. It's rated IPX4 for water resistance, meaning this decently built speaker is certified to be protected from small splashes of water.

The JBL PartyBox 310 is the best JBL Bluetooth speaker we've tested.
