JBL Go Essential Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Blue is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 32.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great We've had the JBL Go Essential for about 3 weeks and our 15-year-old daughter has been using it constantly ever since. The connection to the cell phone worked quickly and easily, the device was recognized immediately. The sound is rich and surprisingly good for this small device. It can easily be taken anywhere and also fits in a larger trouser pocket. The Bluetooth range is more than sufficient. We tested it in the garden and the connection was interference-free over a relatively large distance. Our daughter has her mobile phone in the bedroom and can still receive the sound in the bathroom very well through several walls.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Little Thing - big sound! We love this little Bluetooth Speaker! According to the small size it's not bigger than a package of cigarettes, so it fits perfectly in every bag and you can take it everywhere (to the Garden, the beach or only on your balcony for example). For the little size the sound of this box is unbelievable clear with a deep base. You realy don't think, that this little thing has such an amazing sound! For us it's the perfect solution to take nice music and a relaxing feeling everywhere we want to have it. The desgin is very simple and elegant as well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice device In view of the product test in which I was able to take a close look at the JBL Go Essential loudspeaker, I can say that it is an extremely handy device that is more than easy to use. For "On" and "Off" hold down the start button for about 3 seconds until the signal sounds. With the point of light in the middle at the top of the front panel, you can also visually see whether the device is on or off. The setup is therefore completely simple. Activate Bluetooth on the mobile phone and search for the device. It all connects automatically in seconds. If you then have music or similar via various providers on your cell phone. streams or listens to the radio online and starts it on your mobile phone, the JBL immediately plays the sound in good quality. The volume can be adjusted at the push of a button on both the cell phone and the speaker and can also be set to a good volume. But there is a minus point, since I weighed the speaker with almost 200g !!! find it relatively difficult, at least for on the go, which has the advantage that it is absolutely stable. In any case, 100% purchase recommendation for the JBL Go Essential from me. I definitely didn't expect that.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My parties were an absolute hit - thanks to JBL! I cannot begin how exciting it is to use these speakers! They have added the life to all my parties! With JBL Go Essential, you can feel the music rushing through your veins, making your adrenaline rush quickly! I have used it constantly with me - barbecues, cooking, parties, and even during work hours. Anyone can learn to use it within seconds - it is not tricky to work with it. It is extremely handy as well! I would absolutely recommend the product all the way!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This speaker is absolutely a great value for the money! I am very impressed. The sound quality is perfect and clear. The JBL Go Essential speaker is ultra-compact and with its only 180 gram it is even lighter as my iPhone. For its small size it delivers big audio. The speaker is easy to handle – the buttons are self-explaining and they have a nice touch. We had no problems to connect the speaker to our devices. Once connected it recognises the device immediately (in our case iPhone and iPad) and there is no need to disconnect or to switch between devices. I was looking for exactly such speaker to take it with me when I go out to the playground with my daughter – she wants to dance with her friends and listen to the music. We also use the speaker during gymnastics training – it is loud enough to be used in the sports hall. The speaker is waterproof and I am not afraid when my daughter puts it directly on the ground or uses it near water. My pros for JBL Go Essential are light weight, perfect sound and a super price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good sound I got this speaker a few weeks ago and used it on holidays and work, has a great sound even better than I expected for the price and the size! The battery life time is also great, I used it every day on our city trip and it definitely lasts at least 5 hours! Would definitely recommend it, love the size and the great sound, perfect for trips!

Questions & Answers

Where to check current battery percentage in jbl go essential while connected with phone

Asked by: Halo16
Thanks for your question. Our JBL Go Essential is not an App-capable speaker, however, some mobile devices can be able to show the battery percentage on the Bluetooth settings. But you can always check the LED indicator of the JBL Go Essential, if it shows a flashing amber, that means it is "Low Battery", solid amber means "Charging" and if it no longer shows LED light, that means it is fully charged.

Thanks for your inquiry. While our JBL Go Essential could connect with a Smart TV, you may experience audio-video delays when watching movies since it doesn't have aptXHD low-latency codecs.
