• CNET, Best Bluetooth Speaker for 2024
  • The CNET experts tested Bluetooth speakers of all shapes and sizes to find the best of options of the year that match different needs and budgets. Several of our most popular JBL Bluetooth speakers made the list, including: the JBL Charge 5 which stood out for its impressive bass and volume considering its relatively compact size; the JBL Clip 4 which clips right on to a backpack or beltloop with its integrated carabiner clip for ease of portability; and the JBL Go 3 for its durable design and powerful sound in a compact size. For sound that overpowers many boombox speakers, the JBL PartyBox 110 will be the life of the party with its built-in light show that syncs to the beat of the music.
• PC Mag, The Best Outdoor Speakers for 2024
  • For outdoor adventures like camping and hiking, a durable outdoor speaker that can withstand all of the elements is key for sound you can rely on. Look no further than the JBL Flip 6, which features powerful audio within a fully waterproof and dust-proof design so you can stream your favorite songs wherever summer takes you. PCMag was impressed by its robust bass beyond what is expected from its size; plus, the streamlined design comes in a variety of colors, with customization options for a speaker to match any unique personal style.
• ZDNet, One of the loudest Bluetooth speakers I've tested is not made by Bose or Klipsch
  • For big sound from a small device on the go, ZDNet recommended our JBL Clip 5: a portable speaker that is rugged, loud and will keep you listening for hours! While a small speaker can sometimes only produce small sound, the JBL Clip 5 has impressive volume capabilities, so you can pump up the powerful sound that JBL is known for. With the built-in carabiner clip, the JBL Clip 5 is prepared to come along on every summer adventure.
• Digital Trends, JBL Xtreme 4 review: a sweet-sounding battery beast with AI smarts
  • Digital Trends rated the JBL Xtreme 4 as the premium speaker to beat this year! Their team took the JBL Xtreme 4 on a beach trip to put its dynamic sound and long-lasting battery to the test, and realized a winning combination.

The JBL Pulse 5 caught their eye more than any other Bluetooth speaker with its dynamic light show that adds an exciting visual experience expertly timed to the beat of your music.
