'Without question one of the best-sounding small speakers I've ever used': I reviewed the JBL Go 5 and it's the only speaker you need for on-the-go listening — and it's a major upgrade over its predecessor

The JBL Go 5 is a spectacular small-sized speaker that improves on just about everything we loved about its predecessor. With more powerful, cleaner sound, new ambient lighting, and an ultra-durable build, the Go 5 is an accomplished upgrade. Its enhanced battery life is still nothing particularly special, and you won't get the most mighty bass output, but for a speaker of its size, the Go 5 is a very nifty performer.

Pros

  • +Great sound for its size
  • +Attractive edge lighting
  • +Highly waterproof and durable

Cons

  • -Can be beaten for battery life
  • -Limited bass due to compact form
  • -Can't change color of the lights
