Top review and you covered all the considerations I had been considering! Ideal. Thank you.

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

Thanks :)

[@kmaidotia]

You answered my main question - bluetooth needing wi-fi connectivity, kind of a bummer.

[@benjaminlee3669]

I like the compact and clean design of this music speaker. JBL's sound system is anyway top-notch.

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

I agree, I think the design was well thought through. Thanks for stopping by

[@oliversmith7354]

I love this JBL smart speaker! The mediatek backing makes it even better

[@lucasbrown7338]

agreed. the mediatek chip did come as a surprise element but it does work well

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

I was pretty happy with this speaker :) thanks for stopping by

[@ericyoung3183]

the look and feel of the speaker hints at a premium device. the speaker is covered in a nice mesh fabric and the fabric itself feels very good and durable plus the audio quality is amazing and is supported by a solid mediatek processor.

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

Indeed

[@Atilla8huno]

I didn't know you need to setup Google Home first, thanks for the info

[@andrewjohnson1486]

JBL Link Music is pretty good for the users and its audio quality is also really interesting. Mediatek offers it great connectivity as well.

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

Thanks Andrew. Hope you have a good day

[@shooby4773]

A question I have because I saw it in sale. Would you recommend it as a dual setup on a TV? I don't want to spend 300€ on JBL Soundbars.

[@lashaeyoung805]

Thanks dude

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

You are welcome

[@yuriluskov]

Do you have to turn bluetooth on every time I use it on my PC ?

[@lopezdad30]

What was the music used for the audio test!!??

[@-_-pan96-_-45]

The nest mini is so loud ! Omg !😳

[@masfuji5828]

could you please guide me on how to reset the jbl link music demo speaker. thank pro

[@AjaxJM]

Do you need Wi-Fi or just only Bluetooth because my Wi-Fi in my room is garbage .awesome review btw 👌 this is the only question I have after watching

[@jerkevandenbraak]

I own these and I still have the same question :|. The sound is great of these small speakers, but the manual and explanation of JBL on how to use these are super bad IMO

[@piveckopivecko1307]

I have problem to comnect it with Bluetooth please help

[@Karwaltwinkle]

Is it not worked with mobile data

[@gmti3337]

How do I set it up!

[@kot1pelto]

Can you have various of the same speaker in different rooms playing the same music from the same source?

[@C0rnH0lio1]

kyllä

[@mikelcayarisantos1684]

How is it done?

[@kot1pelto]

Santos you can, you do it through google home and configure a speaker group.

[@mikelcayarisantos1684]

Thanks mate, very much appreciated

[@BrownSugar0209]

Lol I'm late here but I see so many people bitching that it doesn't have a battery. This product wasn't intended to be a portable Bluetooth speaker. No, this is a smart speaker. 🤦 If you look closer there are like 75856 speakers with a battery because they are PORTABLE BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS and you don't even have to consider this one. ( A SMART SPEAKER) Bye

[@nt_charis9958]

So wait u cant just use it as a bluetooth speaker?

[@sealow08]

Set up process with Google Home and this device is such pain. Must have reset it 50 times now. Google Home sees it for setup, then can't connect. Driving me batty!

[@isaiahquiah]

is it wireless?

[@charlenes468]

no, not wireless

[@lovewenwin]

Its now on clearance for $30

[@skatersgrotto6415]

It’s it portable

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

Ah not really, Its easy to move but it has to be plugged in all the time to a wall outlet

[@thefirsthalo3junk]

Got 2 of these for only 99$

[@curionion]

Where duh

[@_JOKA]

Can you link both speakers and play together?

[@emgee65]

Needs to be plugged in? So much for Bluetooth. 👎

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

Yes especially since there are heaps of options for more portable speakers, just depends on what you are looking for I guess as well. Cheers for watching

[@FreeSpokenOne]

Bluetooth isn't most reliable anyway. You might prefer a Link 20. I like mine and am putting it in the master bedroom while replacing it in the living space with a Link 300, then putting a 2nd Gen Google nest in the second bedroom so I can operate smart devices in each area of the house without needing to raise my voice to turn a light on/off.

[@sagarkhadka5093]

Do you know how turn Bluetooth

[@seiji-kun9488]

Come to think of it, doesn't it inconvenience you when you have to press a button just to play music? Keeping a solely battery powered speaker 24/7 on is impractical hence the need for a plugged speaker with 24/7 power.

[@Cinnamoroll427]

Hard to use also no battery always keep close to power plug 👎

[@MustafaSheikh]

wait no battery? bye bye

[@UP209D]

why does it need a battery when it is a smart speaker supposed to be like homepod, google nest, alexa echo?

[@ComedyFilmZ]

YOU NEED A IPHONE 12

[@BeforeYouBuyGuy]

OK Eric, you are welcome to send me one.

[@marktrvls1218]

Bought this just to play music from an iPhone, almost impossible to this simple task, don’t buy this rubbish just buy a normal Bluetooth speaker instead

[@UP209D]

you do not know how to use it, don't blame the product, blame yourselves instead, i have this speaker and airplay is working perfectly
