Thanks for an honest review. . .got JBL pulse 3 instead of link 20 because of Audio-Video sync problem....nevertheless the sound quality is great. . . will be enjoying this a lot for a long time.

[@nawinkr]

Hey, great video. Which app did you use to compare speaker's sound quality??

[@jpgnexus]

With their batteries, it seems like the Link 10 and Link 20 are great for backyard parties, and you could have the same music playing on all of our indoor/outdoor units through Chromecast. You could also control all speakers if you're outside with your voice.

You should do the newer JBL link music (non portable) I have only found one decent review of that speaker and I want to purchase one for my office at work. Love your videos! Keep it up

[@sierrarissell6688]

So can I use this as a portable Bluetooth speaker as well?

[@DamianoDellaGrotta]

Hi, a good WiFi speaker with built-in google assistant AND aux jack? Thank you very much

[@aart-janmeijer5733]

Is it possible to connect the jb link to continue power , or is this not recommended? I don't want to disconnect the power every time it's charged.

[@KJZ24]

Link 10 or altec Lansing for sound quality ?

[@tamagotchiuni]

Can you connect JBL link to JBL Charge 3 though with bluetooth?

[@Spectei-and-Neraida]

I got my dad the JBL Link 10 for his bedroom! And I gotta say it has a VERY nice sound quality, he's streamed a baseball game on it and my goodness it feels like you're in the stadium. And I agree that not including the wall charger with it is a big mistake to make, I have to use my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 4's USB wall adapter in order to plug it in.

[@drezno]

can I add other speakers to this one and have it control them? say like a bass booster or something?

[@candemet1911]

can u use your google home with Apple Music?

[@xxivancraftxxtutorialesyma7709]

Good video fam, keep it up!

[@YBZ_GIJOE]

Great review, very informative. I was wondering however, can the link speakers be left plugged in without harming the battery? In regards to the pesky wifi light, you could always slap a small square of electrical tape over it. 👍

[@abelgavina5618]

Josiah Nickles I’m wondering the same thing. Do you if they harm the battery or not?

[@Ch4osWe4veR]

Don't take this as gospel, but I think you can definitely leave them plugged in without worry. These devices are almost guaranteed to have lithium ion batteries in them. From what I found, the ideas of not leaving rechargeable devices plugged in, battery memory, charge cycling, and charging things before using them etc. are all left over from older/dumber nickel cadmium, lead acid, and other older battery technologies. Lithium ion batteries have circuitry that will only allow the battery to receive a charge when it needs to, and also regulates the current it receives while charging. So, as far as I can tell these can be left plugged in with no damage to the battery. The speaker will be powered but either cut the current to the battery or trickle charge it when it's full.

[@mheaton1308]

@@Ch4osWe4veR I like this answer, thank you!

[@kahukuboy]

My link 10 bluetooth skips and shuts off at around every 2 hours of continuous use. Its super irritating because I use it at work and every 2 hours i gotta reconnect my phone. Does anyone else's do this? Im about to throw it off a cliff if it dosen't have a solution.

Thanks a lot, that's the best video I could find on the subject

[@chrisernst68]

My Insignia came on several times before I had to exit the video. It seems to be much quicker because my speaker was way ahead.

[@Giggidygiggidy12]

Is it possible to setup these JBL as a sound bar for my TV?? If so how would I do that if my TV has a Chromecast plugged in? And no my TV does not have BT or wifi built in

[@daedgoco]

Jbl is releasing a link soundbar this year, with google assistant and Android tv i think

[@futurecactus]

I don't think so, your Chromecast can't cast out, only in and the Link 20 can only receive Bluetooth audio or from internet music service. The Link 20 can't be paired with other speakers over Bluetooth either, only over wifi.

[@harrylime22]

So the link 10 seems to be called link portable in the UK? I received mine today and it has a dock to sit on. I must say I the sound isn’t quite as good as I hoped. Still happy with it.

[@staffan144]

It is not the same, but a newer, similar wifi bt portable jbl speaker.

[@nola-baissa2433]

Are these waterproof??

[@muteharmony]

Every time you say "OK Google" in this video: Baby Jesus cries.

[@joeymon64]

can i keep the jbl plugged in to the wall or do i just use it to charge?

[@JonAlycia]

You can use it while plugged in

[@diamondcb2728]

Great video thank you

[@odidiaz7492]

We are returning our link 10 that battery it’s terrible and it even died while it was plugged in..no idea why and on top of that 2 days after using it took almost 15 minutes to boot up..not a very good experience so far

[@loganbarcelos7089]

Odi Diaz mine is perfect

[@Cudareli]

Can you explain what you meant with the broadcast limitations? I was keen to replace my Google Home with the JBL however I use the boradcast feature regularly and can't lose that functionality.

[@Ambrovious]

Cudareli I am in the same boat...I was rather annoyed that the broadcast feature did not work. I am hopeful that Google corrects this soon. What I was told when contacting Google was that third party systems will eventually get the same features but not at the same time as Google's products.

[@futurecactus]

FYI is working now and has been for some time

[@lucasgiles7613]

Can you link the two together like the link 10 and 10 to play sound together

[@futurecactus]

You can add them to any speaker group through Google app but only over wifi, not over Bluetooth

[@vastinkelter1393]

very quiet sound. please invest in some proper microphone (at least at the beginning as this can put people off watching this overall good review!!)

[@yahooo9999]

Great video, thank you

[@tahontabass1584]

good times good times

[@futurecactus]

You shouldn't have to provide your own charger and cable but most people have a drawer full of them by now so I doubt that's much of an issue for a lot of people. I bought Link 20 as a Google Home alternative that can double as a Bluetooth speaker on the go. If you look at it like that, 10 hours battery looks pretty good against Google Home with no battery. I can move it around my home and yard without needing to keep it plugged in which is great. The inability to pair 2 speakers over Bluetooth is irrelevant to me because I use the far superior speaker group system over wifi at home and wouldn't bother taking 2 with me on the go anyway. The auto power off when not plugged in and not in use can be annoying, I'd rather have an option to just let it stay on and run flat a bit quicker but no other issues here, love it.

[@stefanhaupt4947]

has anyone ever tested and compared REAL battery life of Link 10 and 20 when used via WiFi and Bluetooth? Like playing radio music at 50 percent of volume?

[@shawnaparsons7588]

Stefan Haupt I have no issues with mine and my volume is at max.

[@Agiztos]

are you able to connect the link 20 to other jbls like pulse 3?

[@futurecactus]

No, it can only be part of a speaker group over wifi

[@maxispeeltspellen4892]

[@KenCheng]

are those smart plugs compatible with the Link 20?

[@futurecactus]

It depends on the plug, is compatible with any plug that is compatible with Google Home

[@mickedansar]

Does the link 10 has the ability to use continued conversation with google asstistant?

[@futurecactus]

My Link 20 and Link View both do

[@ManarKazi]

Why is it that nobody ever mentions in these JBL Link reviews that you CANNOT MAKE PHONE CALLS THROUGH THE GOOGLE HOME because JBL won’t update the firmware version to support the calling feature. So sad man such a deal breaker! Anybody know any other good suggestions??

[@dominiqueeva]

M Kazi Not sure if you are in UK. But I’ve just bought the JBL link20 and I can make phone calls via the speaker.

[@ManarKazi]

dominique james I am able to make phone calls if my phone is connected to the Bluetooth speaker only via Bluetooth. If I try to make calls using a OK Google command it will never allow me to make outgoing phone calls which is so strange to me

[@BrentTutana]

they should have added connect plus

very comprehensive. can Google Home be placed in the bathroom? Clearly JBL Link can as they are IPX7, but google doesn't mention about that.

No, I'm pretty sure I pointed that out in the vodeo

[@lemosky7762]

Yeah but I already have 1 JBL Charge 3 (my mother's) and I would have loved to be able to connect it to it :p Either What do you think of the power bank of the JBL Charge 3? Is useful? I can not use it because my mother doesn't want me to leave house with her speaker :(

[@maxispeeltspellen4892]
