“Super performance and strong eco-friendly vibes”!

THE JBL is an iconic brand that if nothing else knows how to do “happy” every fanatic friend of quality sound. Starting from the diminutive but at the same time powerful portable speakers and sophisticated TWS in-ear headphones and reaching impressive Partybox speakers that turn any interior space into a dancefloor as well as complete 5.1 audio setups, undoubtedly the rich product line-up of JBL covers all categories of users. One of most successful series portable mini-speakers are also indisputable Go and Clip, which have been loved by thousands of users, as they combine tiny dimensions with crystal clear sound and of course portable and durable properties. The Go 3 and Clip 4 stand out for another reason, as they are built completely from recyclable materialsa. So let’s get to know them better in the “double” hands-on review that follows…

JBL with the Go series taught many people its meaning super-portable speaker, which can even fit in your pants pocket. With the new Go, the beloved company is essentially expanding the concept of a portable speaker even further, adding to the mix the recyclable construction materials but still greater endurance.

Hence, Go 3 is tiny in stretches and lightweight, which means it can even fit in palm of your hand (it weighs just 209 grams). The rugged construction materials make it ideal for outdoor excursions, while it even has a string, which allows you to hang it on your backpack. The rubber ones physical control buttons (Play/Pause and volume rockers) are placed on the upper side, while the JBL logo dominates in the center. On one side of it (where the distinctive Go 3 logo is) you are going to meet the Power ON/OFF buttonas well as the button to activate it Bluetooth (supports Bluetooth 5.1). At the point where the cord we described to you is located, you will also find it USB Type-C port of the device.

JBL in an effort to remind us of the importance we should give to his track sustainability and her protection of the environment decided to go “full green” in everything it has to do with materials which he used for the JBL Go 3 Eco. That’s why her proposal consists of up to 90% recycled plastic and invested with 100% recycled fabric. At the same time, its packaging is also environmentally friendly, which consists of FSC certified paper, printed with soy ink. Of course, it goes without saying that eco-friendly materials does not mean “compromise» in quality and durability, that’s why it may be small in the eye but it is big in the… staminabearing certification IP67 e.gu means it is waterproof (raindrops and water splashes) but also extremely resistant to powder.

Of course, the pleasant surprises do not stop here, as the biggest advantage of the Go 3 Eco is none other than its amazing quality “signature” sound of JBL. Supporting the template JBL Pro Sound effective at 4.2 Watts RMS and with a high frequency response from 110Hz to 20kHz there is no doubt that JBL’s compact portable speaker is destined for big things. In fact, testing it, we do not hide from you that we are excited by its volume, to the point where you wonder how it is possible for such a small speaker to produce such a high volume. The sound is spotless and excellent richwith the Go 3 Eco being a portable sound gadget, which can comfortably hold a mini-party with friends, even outdoors.

This happens because it also has excellent performance in terms of autonomy, with JBL’s portable proposal enabling you to enjoy your favorite music for almost 5 hours (average as battery life is affected by volume and type of music content). A full charge according to the JBL people takes about 2.5 hours.

The Clip 4 Eco is in turn an excellent proposal from the popular company that specializes in audio products, having exactly the same philosophy as the Go 3. However, a large difference it has to do with its peculiar designas it is designed in such a way that the user, using the special built-in clip, hangs it on backpack and in zone of (even on any… zipper)!

As with the Go 3 Eco, JBL preferred to frame the Clip 4 with eco-friendly construction materialswhich are not only good for the environment but also make this portable ideal for… adventures in nature. Its dimensions are 4.6 cm x 8.65 cm x 13.5 cm (M x W x H), while its weight is only 240 grams.

Looking more closely at him its exterior design (which has a street style design language) we can easily distinguish that the physical buttons for playing music and for increasing and decreasing the volume are located on the front surface of the device, while on the left side you will find the button for activating / deactivating and for Bluetooth. Finally, the lower surface is “hosted” by USB Type-C port.

Following the example of its “smaller” brother, the Clip 4 Eco features IP67 certified, which means you can expose it to environmental conditions without fear. At the same time, one of his assets is the iconic sound Pro which bears the signature of JBL, with the total power produced by the tiny oval speaker reaching 5W (sounds slightly louder than the Go 3). The bass produced by the Clip 4 is a “dream” for every fan of on-the-go sound.

Finally, the excellent trends and stylish speaker from JBL offers about 10 hours of continuous playback, so the only thing that is certain is that it is an ideal proposition for long roadtrips and long hikes in nature.

Both the Go 3 and the Clip 4 are available on the market in many different sizes funky and modern colorsyou really super prices depending on what they offer (specifically the Go 3 costs 44.90 euros and Clip 4 charges 64.90 euros). Fashionable, super portable, with durability that “breaks” them and performance that literally “tears”, undoubtedly the two portable speakers from JBL are expected to become the best companion in every summer adventure anyone dot and anywhere!
