JBL is the world's largest loudspeaker producer, having built an audio empire since 1946 and now has 70% coverage in professional audio venues around the world. As early as the early to mid-20th century, JBL applied professional recording monitoring technology to home loudspeakers. With the continuous expansion of the product line, JBL has begun to enter the emerging field of Bluetooth speakers in recent years.
 
For the entire Bluetooth speaker industry, sound quality is not the decisive factor in the success or failure of the product, and many consumers will also value battery life, waterproof, appearance and other characteristics. JBL pays more attention to appearance in product strategy, and most of the portable Bluetooth speakers launched in recent years are young and energetic as the main design features, and many products have won two design awards: Red Dot and IF.
 
JBL目前Portable Bluetooth speaker产品数量多，大致可分为两种外观，同样体积的产品性能差别不大。手掌大小的Clip和GO系列主打户外便携，产品重量基本不超过300克，技术方面没有类似B&O的全向音效，单个驱动单元虽然能提供较大的音量，但音质一般。
 
The small square brick GO series is a product with a high degree of attention in the current market, and has been rated as the most cost-effective Bluetooth speaker by PCMAG, and the rubber wrapped on the outside of the plastic frame is less than 200 grams. The first generation of GO is quieter, and whether you connect it to a computer or a mobile phone, you need to turn up its volume, and the battery drains very quickly. This disadvantage has been improved in the latest GO 2, the edges of the GO 2 are designed with rounded corners, and the whole machine provides IPX7 waterproof level, which can be used in water for a short time.
 
The CLIP takes a circular route, its body comes with a lifting ring, which can be easily hung on the bag and waist, and it is made of the same material as the GO series, and the waterproof performance is also the same, which is more suitable for outdoor sports than the former.
 
If you do not have high requirements for portability, it is recommended to buy the four series of Charge, Flip, Xtreme, and Pulse with long cylinders. Their bass is powered by JBL bass boosters on both sides, and the sound quality is better than that of single-driver speakers.
 
Portable Bluetooth speaker battery capacity is limited, and few brands are willing to sacrifice battery life to improve their appearance, JBL is a maverick one. The Pulse is the only JBL series to boast a light show, and its battery life has dropped from 20 hours to around 10 hours for speakers in its class. With the popularity of RGB in computer peripherals, many consumers will also pay for dazzling lighting products, so Pulse is not low in popularity, and it is also a high-scoring product in Consumer Reports.
 
Pulse's light patterns change with the music, and the drum-like look is perfect for indoor and outdoor environments. The Charge and Flip, which also resemble a drum-shaped design, have no lights, but they have a beautiful exterior color scheme that is not inferior to the Pulse series. The bass of these speakers is good, but the vocals are a bit muffled and not transparent. For users who are keen to listen to heavy bass, using them is more than enough. If you prefer to listen to human voices, it is better to buy excellent headphones.
 
JBL's small portable Bluetooth speakers are priced at less than 500 yuan, and slightly larger drum speakers are priced at more than 800 yuan. Manufacturers will iterate with the upgrading of audio technology every once in a while, but there is little difference between iterative products, adhering to the principle of "buying new and not buying old" digital products, it is recommended to choose the latest model in a series.
