This Ultraportable JBL Speaker Is Now $25
If you’re looking for a compact Bluetooth speaker that’s both rugged and portable, you might want to check out the JBL Go 3 (available in blue and camo). Currently available on Woot for $24.95 (down from $49.95), this little speaker is impressive in size. It also comes with Woot’s 90-day limited warranty with free shipping for Prime members. This deal lasts for 19 days or until sold out. However, it does not ship to Alaska, Hawaii or mailboxes.
Measuring just 2.7 by 3.4 by 1.6 inches and weighing 7.4 ounces, the Go 3 is small enough to slip into your bag (or even your pocket). Its rugged design, which includes a sport strap and a fabric grille on the outside, feels rugged and ready for adventure. Plus, its IP67 rating means it’s waterproof and dustproof, so whether you’re in the pool or shower, you won’t have to worry about water damage. For control, you have basic functions: play/pause, volume, power and Bluetooth pairing buttons. Double-clicking the play button will skip to the next track, but you won’t have the option to go back. There’s also no speakerphone feature – a disappointment, but forgivable at this price.
When it comes to audio, the Go 3 is surprisingly well-rounded. According toPCMag’s review , it won’t rock the room with bass, but its 1.5-inch monaural speaker delivers clear mids and highs and avoids distortion even at high volumes. Battery life is decent at around five hours, but battery life may vary depending on volume levels.
