Pocket-sized Bluetooth speakers are a crowded space, with the JBL Go range squaring up to ultra-portables from Sony and Anker. The Go 4 sits as JBL's latest mini option for chucking in a bag, aiming for that familiar "bigger than it looks" sound without the bulk of a clip-on or cylindrical speaker.
Who is the JBL Go 4 actually for?
If you want something genuinely palm-sized for the kitchen, park, hotel room or desk, the Go 4 makes sense. Expect clear vocals and enough volume for small spaces, rather than room-filling bass. It's also the sort of speaker you'll use more often because it's not a faff to carry, quick to pair, quick to move, and less precious than larger models.
- Ultra-portable build: small enough to live in a coat pocket or side pouch.
- Bluetooth wireless playback: suited to phones and tablets without cables.
- JBL "Pro sound" tuning: geared towards clarity and punch for its size, not sub-bass.
