The legendary and famous JBL brand belongs to the Harman International group, which is owned by Samsung Electronics. At the CES in Las Vegas, they presented, among other things, a renovation of their portable sound equipment. The most compact is the JBL Go, which is now called JBL Go 2. After the success of the original Go (more than 10 million sold since 2015), the Go 2 will arrive in the spring of 2018. It will offer better performance and the same compact design that fits in the palm. With five hours of battery and maximum resistance to water, its price will be only 35 euros.
Submersible!
Perhaps it is the most striking feature of the new JBL Go 2. The IPX7 certification means that you can even dive while it is playing. You can take it to the snow, the pool, the beach or the bathroom, without fear of humidity.
The built-in lithium-ion battery can offer up to 5 hours of music autonomy. And it will be available in up to ten! Different colors The names of the colors are … let’s say colorful. There they go Misty Gray, Seafoam Mint, Lemonade Yellow, Sunkissed Cinnamon, Pearl Champagne, Midnight Black, Deep Sea Blue, Moss Green, Coral Orange, and Ruby Red.
Bluetooth or cable
As we know, Bluetooth connectivity is the easiest way to send music from your mobile. But a speaker like this JBL, which now has a quality microphone, also allows you to use it as a hands-free. And a very good one, thanks to the internal filters that avoid echoes and noises. This way you can have a telephone, private or group conversations, with better quality than the mobile phone alone.
In addition to the Bluetooth wireless connection, the JBL Go 2 has a stereo jack input. There we can connect any source of the sound, although it does not have Bluetooth, which is an advantage. Also in this mode, the battery can extend its life noticeably since it will only be used for the amplifier of the speaker. Even in the mobile, turning off Bluetooth can be impressive to save energy and allow the battery to last longer. In this case, if a call arrives we could use the loudspeaker but not its microphone (the mobile one would be active).
The pride of the house
According to the head of the sound line “Smart Audio” in Harman, the JBL Go 2 is a small pride for the brand. “When we launched the JBL GO we knew it would be a great option for those looking for a quality portable speaker at an affordable price. The JBL GO 2 offers the same low price with the extra of a new and waterproof design and a richer and clearer sound”.
