This pocket-sized Bluetooth speaker costs as much as a takeaway for two – and is much better for you
Great sound for 0 calories
Put that pizza down! Bin those takeaway menus, resist the urge to boot up the Dominos app and do something that your ears, and waistline, will thank you for: spend your money on a brilliant Bluetooth speaker instead.
For about the same price as your Saturday night takeout, you could get yourself a JBL Go 4 for just £27 at Amazon this Prime Day, down from its original price of £40. That's a saving of around 33 per cent on the best pocket-sized Bluetooth speaker on the market.
It doesn't taste particularly good (although we haven't actually tried), but it does sound the business.
Best JBL Go 4 Bluetooth speaker deal
The JBL Go 4 is amazing value at its full-fat price of £40. Despite its tiny dimensions, it sounds the absolute business – far better than your phone's speakers, that's for sure – and comes crammed to the brink with features. It's also a lovely thing to own, with on-unit lighting adding LED cherries to a small but very tasty cake.
It's remarkable how much performance JBL has managed to wring out of the soap-sized Go 4. It's handsome, well-equipped, durable and, for its size, remarkably talented sonically
The Go 4's IP67 rating means that dust and limited submersion in water will leave no lasting damage, and the general robustness of construction here is truly admirable.
Battery life is up to roughly 7 hours of standard playtime, with two more hours via Playtime Boost.
Playtime Boost will suck out most of the bass from the speaker's presentation, but that aside, the Go 5 sounds remarkably good considering its size and price. Thanks in part to its 45mm driver and that hollow-contour logo, the fifth-gen model is the meatiest, most robust sounding Go that we've yet heard, with a fuller, more powerful reproduction than its fourth-gen predecessor.
As our review stated, the fifth-gen speaker is tuned "to have an innate understanding of how your music should sound. Nothing here is overdone or overly coloured, but it shares its bigger siblings’ ability to go with the flow as we bounce around tracks and genres".
If your budget is limited, the Go 4 is our go-to recommendation – ditch the late night curry and pick one up on Amazon.
