Good evaluation method with the blind test since It's hard to now for extenal viewers depending on their own soundsystem. 😊👍

[@TechBarnYT]

Thank you! We appreciate your appreciation!

[@RohanRaj_16]

Broo thnx a lot for this review... I was confused about which one to buy but then after watching ur video, I think I am gonna go with the JBL Go3... The thing which i like the most of ur videos is that u explain very energetically.. Keep up the good work..

[@jerome8465]

You described the difference perfect. This helped me decide. Thankyou

[@TechBarnYT]

You’re welcome 😊

The thumbnails and quality make me think this channel has 1m subs and it should

[@tourvanvan2145]

Agreed

[@adamsarwar]

Thanks for the review, exactly what I was looking! 🍻

[@bassbase3417]

this channel deserves a million of subs. , nice review and comparison bro, so clear and informative!

[@TechBarnYT]

Glad you think so!

[@truecocunut421]

I'm going with the JBL 2 , cause it has the jack stick (Aux input). One of the last models to have this. I dont believe it's too good getting blasted with too much bluetooth. It's actually hard to find a micro model nowadays with the jack. Thanks for a great video bro!

[@graemebarrett8419]

I need that input, too, for my ukulele.

[@helo3851]

I'm assuming it using type C, a jack to C connector should fix that

[@ghaah]

@@helo3851 it wont work

[@thenerdshow]

Go 2 looks better also. I don’t like that ugly built in strap.

[@screwthishi5thing]

Don't get me wrong, I love the 3.5mm jack, but Bluetooth radiation is lower energy than most radio stations permanently on and going through you, LOL

[@jorgeacajas6397]

Can you connect them together?

Great video Does the go2 has mic n go3 not?

[@nonsense.v]

Hey man, very good work! Hope you get more subscribers. Keep it up :D

GO3 has no AUX or Mic for Phone Call. Kinda important to mention in a review dont you think.

The battery of the Jbl Go 2 Bluetooth speaker in my hand is 730mAh. Can it be charged with a powerbank of 20,000mAh & 30,000mah? Will there be a complaint? Please reply brother

[@jmtanjusay7045]

It can be charged with any output but the recommended is 5V 500mA, maH is the capacity not the output. Phone chargers these days are 2A, I use my laptop to charge my Go 2. Don't use phone chargers. They will charge fast but also drain fast. Using 500mA will charge slower but will have more battery life.

[@urbnctrl]

I am at a crossroads - I really want the USB C charge - but I also want the Aux and Microphone.. But the JBL go 2 is more expensive here than the go 3.. ???? WEIRD.. I think I am gonna go with the JBL Go 2 after all since calling with a speaker and aux cord gives benefits plus the go2 has a longer battery life!

[@schumacher_tts]

The GO 3 is way way more powerful and solid than the GO 2. I own both and the Go 3 is undoubtedly better (in my opinion).

[@RohanRaj_16]

Agreed!

[@marceloktav7619]

But they don't have aux port 😂,with aux port you can use it to watch video and play games with no delay

[@RohanRaj_16]

@@marceloktav7619 Now a days wireless connectivity is really common... The Go 3 has Bluetooth 5.1 compared to Go 2 which has 4.2 .... Means no delay in sound for the Go 3.... But yea an aux port let's u connect an old device to it .....

[@HelloKitty-vt1ye]

@@marceloktav7619 Now a days many expensive smartphone doesn't have a headphone jack input lol

[@hari__3204]

Bro what about the bass...which is better Go2 or GO3?

[@i-shanb12]

I still remember someone asked me whether i am carrying Subwoofer in my pocket while playing music. I said its Go 3.❤

[@yvrman1964]

It's not a 3.5 mm headphone jack it's an auxiliary input

[@justingo3257]

Is it worth it to spend more money for the go 3? Or save money and stick with the go 2?

[@gioprox5207]

If you feel that the usb-c and improved design of the go 3 is worth it then go for it. But if no then go for the go 2 because it's still a beast

[@gioprox5207]

If you need an audio jack however, go for the go 2 because the go 3 doesn't have one

[@Tryinglittleleg]

Good job

[@grandtheftgameryt]

If dust or sand gets in the charging, just wash it in water, after all it’s waterpoof

[@hudsong6894]

I would go with the go2 because well I have one and it is more affordable and has a cover with an aux port. And I don’t know why you were saying the go3 had a better charger and it was easier, like easier how? They give you a charger it really doesn’t matter. And another thing. You missed talking about how the go3 can take the whole entire body off so you can see the speakers. And that is what I think is cooler about the go3, you still can with the go2 but you need to pry it off and there is a question I have for you. Should you take off the grill on the go2? Please answer

[@jsmith498]

I chose the Go 2, purely for the Aux Port. I like listening to lossless music. Bluetooth will only give you mp3 quality sound, which sucks.

[@shahedarmanshuvo5120]

seeing your video i am going for jbl go 3😊

[@mqtyqs]

Nice vid. Keep it up bro!

[@luison1427]

My birthday is on April 1st I hope you can post a asmr vid that day

[@misteuraxe691]

the go 3 is obviously better but is it worth twice the price over the go 2? i doubt that

[@hilarychang9831]

Now the price in Amazon is lower than GO 2. Special price now.

[@GeorgeGiann]

My Go 2 sounds great for such a small speaker. I never go over 60%

[@indasky88]

I always blast it. Speaker gonna give up one of these days. Lol. But i had a beats pill before and all got busted ha ha. Jbl and Bose is boss

Bro JBL always makes good quality speaker Drivers... It's won't bust nor give up that easily 😂

Dw we will post soon

[@arizabalofotos6319]

I would add that Go2 has a mic and Go3 hasnt it could be a sustancial difference between both units.

[@indasky88]

Oh word?!

[@ranger6447]

Good point.

[@ahussai.n]

Can't lie, would go with the Go3, just looks so much cooler! P.s keep that bandana, lmao looks 👌

[@TechBarnYT]

Lolll the bandana was closest thing we could find to cover my eyes XD and agreed personally I would also go with the Go 3 for the bass and power.

[@Adrisku]

Is it just me or does he a look a bit like Ayrton Senna with the cap on?

[@jaymz_rg1003]

While I love more bass in a speaker, I don't like the design of the Go 3. The Go 2 looks more professional and sleeker. Also, I've been seeing A LOT of people complain that the rubber parts of the Go 3 fall off very easily. Not a good look for a product that presents itself as a durable outdoor product. Does anyone know if either speaker puts out both left and right channels of music? I have an old Polaroid speaker that only puts out the left channel and I listen to a lot music that has different guitar parts in each speaker, so it sounds off with a speaker only putting out one channel, lol.

[@DevoBond]

Bluetooth sound is mono. Always has been. Something A lot of people do not know. Two speakers with give a slight resonating touch yes but still mono. Oh and yeah they won’t ever say that cause of Marketing and you won’t find much proof on the internet. Stereo sound = two mono speakers

[@anydae]

​@@DevoBondthanks for explaining

[@afistfulofpimples1745]

RUBBISH ​@@DevoBond

[@roblewis3147]

In my opinion, neither one of them hold a candle to the Altec Lansing H2O mini. For a way smaller speaker than either one of these it puts out massive sound and bass.

[@zachtanner3461]

It's water proof if it's not covered just rinse the port out

Or blow it out with an air hose

[@LunaticTheCat]

I wish the Go 3 didn't have that stupid loop that you can't remove.

[@ThatTheoVr]

But it's better 😌

[@mikecheca2155]

I think type C is designed as waterproof like I have my Galaxy Note 9 Type C port

[@metalvideos1961]

no port is designed to be water proof. if you get water in any port that is not waterproof it will break. if you get sand in your port it will stop functioning. no matter which kind of port you use.

[@dreicabanero4237]

Im also using S10+ and when the port is wet..the phone will remind you that it has a water in it . All you have to do is to wipe it using tissue ..insert on it and its done..you can charge your phone if it needs so.

[@racistpixel1017]

jbl is a overpriced brand, jbl go for a price might br ok, but you can find 3x cheaper alternatives of other jbl products that plays better... again jbl for fashion not sound quality

[@alexz1189]

It's pretty simple, you don't go in a store to buy a JBL with only 50$. It's either you don't need more than a JBL Go or you don't have money for other JBL speakers.

[@Missyouri123]

Jbl 2 or jbl 3 which one is best
