    Unbeatable durablity

    5⭐️ this speaker has amazing durability! It was forgotten outside in the yard for 2 weeks , there were heavy storms throughout those days and the speaker was out in the open exposed and wasn’t damaged at all and still turned on once we found it. Everything works properly and still charges. 100% great product.

    A compact speaker that packs a punch!

    Genuinely impressed with this little powerhouse! I’ve been using the JBL Go 5 for family beach days, BBQs, and garden DIY for a few weeks now. For a speaker that fits in the palm of your hand, the 4.8W sound is remarkably full with punchy bass and clear vocals. Perfect for music and podcasts. It's even loud enough to hear over the lawnmower! The IP68 waterproof and drop-proof design makes it completely kid-proof and perfect for unpredictable British weather. Toss it in a backpack, take it camping, and don't worry about it breaking. With a solid 8-hour battery life, it easily lasts a full afternoon out. Highly recommended!

    Small but powerful

    Excellent little speaker. Surprisingly clear and powerful sound for such a compact size. It’s easy to carry, feels well made and the waterproof design makes it ideal for travelling and the outdoors. The battery life is great and USB-C charging makes it really convenient.

    jbl is the best

    Jbl is the absolute best at all. Even in a small speake has a really strong and powerful sound. The battery last long enough with one charge and connect very easy to a phone. It fall down a few times but has no any damage happened at all.

    Brilliant group setting

    In my opinion with this product JBL have outdone themselves. As a standalone speaker the design is chunky and robuust. it's compact, light, easy to travel with and can withstand a little knock and the weather elements, as it can withstand rain.Battery life is good for what I use it for. What makes this product special is when you have more then one. We used two on a caravan trip and it was awesome. One inside, one outside. Music travels so well and they are 100% synced with each other. You forget that you have two seperate boxes connected and listening to them because the sound is so awesome. so you don't hear difference when you move from inside to outside. I would highly recommend this when you buy at least two or have friends/family with the same one to experience that grouped sound

    Compulsory buy!

    Fantastic little speaker with big sound. I have had the pleasure of being able to take this away a couple of times so far and it absolutely does the job. I’m very happy with my purchase. This speaker is easy to use, nice and compact to fit in travel bag, the connection with my phone is instant with no connection issues. The sound is pretty decent for a speaker of the size. I can’t leave home without it.

    Small speakers, huge sound

    I’ve been testing out a pair of JBL Go speakers for the past few weeks. Right out of the box, the packaging gives off a high-end, premium vibe. It doesn't come with a charging cable, but that’s hardly a drawback since it works with any standard USB-C cord. The design itself is incredibly sharp, and the built-in lights on the top and bottom are a fantastic feature. Thanks to the JBL app, tweaking the lighting is a breeze—whether you want a steady glow or a light show that syncs with your music. Performance-wise, the audio quality blew me away. I blast all kinds of genres, and the playback remains perfectly crisp, even when cranking up the volume. Syncing the two devices is seamless and completely elevates the experience, making it perfect for enjoying stereo sound out on the patio. This product is absolutely worth buying!

    Great portable speaker.

    I’ve got numerous JBL speakers, from Clip to Partybox. They all have their purpose, but the small speakers like the GO5 are used the most. I take it with me when going to the garage, take it with us on holiday, and use it in the garden to play background music during BBQs. It’s a small speaker, so don’t expect punchy bass, but overall it sounds very good and clear, and has great battery life. It’s IP rated, so light rain isn’t a problem. It connects to the phone without any problem, and you can also interconnect other JBL speakers in the app and play music from all of them at the same time.

    JBL GO 5 a great little speaker

    JBL Go 5, a great little speaker!!. I purchased this to replace an old portable speaker that I have used for several years. This is a massive upgrade in terms of sound quality and provides a mix of high and bass audio. The waterproof rating is reassuring and the device itself appears solid and is a compact size. The battery is 10/10 and seems to last well and whilst I have only used for a few weeks I have only charged once so far with occasional usage. Pairing was easy and the JBL app provides some customisation with light functioning which appear a fun addition, although I would prefer JBL to combine apps as I also have several pairs of JBL headphones that require a separate app to adjust settings. Very happy with the purchase and would recommend to others.

    Great little speaker! Great Sound

    Wow! This is a fantastic little budget speaker that doesn’t skimp on quality. The build is fantastic, solid, feels nice and looks good. I love how portable this thing is! Fits easily in the palm of my hand and light enough to carry around in my bag. I’m so shocked at how good this little thing sounds. Love that it’s USB C, love that it’s waterproof and love how easy it is to connect to my devices. Battery performance 10/10 a good 8 hours on mid volume. Very happy with my purchase.

    Great for such a small thing

    The JBL Go 5 proves that great things really do come in small packages. For such a compact speaker, the sound quality and bass response are remarkably impressive, easily filling a room or an outdoor spot with rich audio. One of its standout features is how effortless it is to take anywhere. Combined with a solid battery life, it’s the ultimate grab-and-go companion for daily use. Customization is another strong point: when using a single speaker, the companion app offers a great range of settings to tune the audio to your liking. Pairing multiple speakers via Auracast is ridiculously easy and seamless. However, it's worth noting that when linked to a second speaker, the sound profile shifts slightly and can sound a bit treble-heavy or sharp compared to the warmer tone of a standalone unit. Visually, the default flickering light effects can be quite distracting. Fortunately, JBL made it simple to freeze the lights or turn them off completely, which is a welcome feature. Verdict: Despite a minor shift in audio balance when paired, the JBL Go 5 offers incredible portability, strong battery performance, and surprisingly punchy sound. It’s an easy recommendation for anyone needing high-quality audio on the move
