I bought a JBL Go 3 speaker

25th of October 2021


The speakers in my laptop had been making weird crackling and popping sound every time I played some music or tried to have a voice conversation with somebody. For some people it may not be a big deal but for me, who has online meetings almost every day, being able to understand what others say is important.

Considering that I am in Turkey and I don't want to have my laptop serviced here, I decided to buy a cheap Bluetooth speaker. After doing some research I realized that the lineup of wireless speakers in local electronics stores is not impressive and even when I found a speaker that would more or less suit my needs, I couldn't find any reviews for it because the company which made it was that unpopular. This is when I decided to read about JBL speakers and it turned out the JBL Go 3 speaker was pretty cheap and offered impressive sound quality.

So I ordered it from Turkish Amazon. It arrived 2 days later and from the first minute I used it I was blown away by the sound quality, loudness and the bass which is much better than I had anticipated. The speaker is also waterproof, turns on pretty fast and is easy to pair with most of devices.

It cost me about 35€ / $40 and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to play music at small outdoor bonfire parties, picnics or just listen to some podcasts at home.
