The JBL Go 4 is one of the smallest Bluetooth speakers on the market, packed with functions and very robust. The sound is what you'd expect: flat and bland, but given the dimensions, it's still fine for those who want to listen at a lower volume. If you can spend a little more, you should opt for the Clip 5. It's slightly larger, but offers a much better sound.
If you are looking for a good-sounding Bluetooth speaker in a pocket-sized format, the JBL Go 4 is a guaranteed find.

- Sound better than its predecessor
- Robust material
- Water and dust protected (IP67)
- App support with equaliser
- Auracast support
- Low battery life
- Very compact and light
- Good app for settings.
- Not a good sound
- Very short battery life
