About JBL Go 3: Portable Speaker with Bluetooth
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
84% found it easy to connect, but 16% faced difficulties in pairing
I ordered the speaker without realizing it lacked multi-device pairing. I didn't think a reputable company would make a speaker without multipoint.
This speaker can only be paired with one device at a time, which may disappoint some listeners accustomed to pairing their speakers with multiple devices.
My LG laptop has no volume control for its speakers, so it doesn't work with it.
I am unable to pair the device with my phone.

The speaker is easy to carry or hang on a hook or rod.
The speaker is easy to pack away because it is small and rectangular, unlike the bulkier and harder to fit round, cylindrical Soundcore Mini 3.
The size of the speaker is perfect for being on the go, such as hiking, cycling, and more.
The speaker is compact, portable, and easy to take anywhere. It can be looped to your belt, cooler, golf bag, or anything else. Additionally, it has good volume and full sound.

The battery life lasts for more than 5 hours, probably around 8-9 hours and is pretty good.
I prefer using AirPods, so the JBL Go 3's battery life is perfect for me as I don't have to charge it often.

88% found it easy to connect, however 12% encountered issues
I walked away with the speaker about 10 feet and didn't lose the connection, indicating that the speaker has a good connectivity range.
The speaker has a good range and did not disconnect until I was about 40-50 feet away.
The Bluetooth connection is decent and it automatically disconnects after a short period of non-usage to conserve power.
I was able to move the speaker around to find the best acoustic location.

93% appreciated the sound quality, but 7% were disappointed
I have heard the speaker and it is one of the best sounding speakers. It has clear, crisp sound with just enough bass to enjoy favorite music without any hiccups.
The size, weight and sound quality of the speaker are excellent for using it with a background sound app on my phone to mask noise from hotel hallways.
The sound quality is fantastic for a 3 inch wide speaker and it's affordable at around 50 US dollars.
When the volume is at max, the highs overpower the lows, although it is not a significant issue.

76% appreciated the compatibility with voice assistants, yet 24% found it inconsistent
My LG laptop has no volume control for its speakers, so the Bluetooth speaker is not compatible.
