Look inside JBL GO2 - Teardown

Check out the inside of the JBL GO2 bluetooth speaker. Opening it up is not that easy, so be careful when trying to pry it open!
Hopefully this video gives you an idea of how to do it better than I did.
Inside you will find the all range speaker, a passive radiator, the PCB board, the battery as well as the connections for charging via USB, an auxiliary port and microphone.

For anyone wondering, this speaker is incredibly loud, considering the rated power and its actual size I use it to teach students at school and it does a great job filling up the whole classroom

[@AnnoyedArt1256]

Did you turn off autoplay in class? Most teachers leave autoplay on and it will automatically skip to the next video when the current video finishes

[@zigooo_5611]

it really help me to fix a miner issues with mine thanks. two things are worth mention, jbl is no joke when talking about water resistence, seconde, there is no way to open without damage the rubber. but if you priority is function over form, you can open, fixit close it, glue everything together and will work as a new one.

[@christianchev4717]

JBL have always been my favourite brand when it comes to portable speakers. I've watched and opened speakers from other brands and what I can say.. for the money you pay to buy an JBL speaker, you get a well engineered speaker in and outside with focus on quality. So that's said!

Thank you sir. You are doing great job. As those gadgets expensive, we can not break them n investigate. Really i want to get a jbl go2. I learnt it from your this vedio how much it suit for my purpose. 😊

When I was watching this video I was using my JBL GO2 for sound. XD

[@cjadra433]

How was it ? I mean tell me about the quality of sound or the loudness of this mini speaker

[@PompomYourkey]

Seaji Vlogs I will say it was 10/7 it’s pretty loud for a small speaker but if you want a very loud speaker I don’t think you should get JBL GO 2 but if you want a speaker that you can travel with I think JBL GO 2 if good for you.

[@kulmikin1557]

I use jbl fake to listen this video

[@zooper6453]

Yes! It have a passive radiator!

[@blindguardian8599]

Still bass is almost non-existant.

[@RennieAsh]

A Bal look at the volume of air inside it - hardly anything. It's little wonder they can't get much bass. That and the passive driver is on the front

[@blindguardian8599]

Just saw a video where similarly sized speakers had way more bass, so it is possible. Things like driver size and excursion and such also help, besides inside volume.

[@productivitygod7887]

Zero Two hey do you have speaker knowledge because I have some questions about my JBL charge one.

[@zooper6453]

Looks like you guys are having fun. I have a flip 3. I can help of you are having any problems. Although you don't have a passive radiator, I believe there is a port.

[@dennisturner4717]

Hi and thank you for this interesting video. Do you think it would be difficult to modify the GO2 so that is would play bluetooth and aux at the same time? As designed, the bluetooth signal is muted when a 1/8 stereo trs plug is inserted.

You can use heat gun to loosen up the glue. It’ll be easy to remove the grill, I’ve done it on jbl go one. One question I was trying to increase mah capacity of battery in jbl go 1 but I failed. Don’t know what happened it pares with the device but woofer doesn’t work, I tried to replace woofer but nothing changed. Can you me help me out ? I might damaged amplifier. MegaSafetyFirst

That's just a chunk of metal. It's further describe here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ3Wk2Chnr6KiKc My guess is it is there to way the speaker down.

Thanks for your video - very interesting and helpful! ❗One Question: Is is possible to replace the micro usb port with an usb c port? I would love to change it but do not know if it would work with the function and is it worth it? (I do not like this jbl go 3 look)😉 All in all the sounf quality is better on the 3rd Gen, but i got already 2x JBL GO 2 so🤙🏼😉 Appreciate your answer!👍🏼💯

Hi Thanks for the video. Even there is only one speaker, does it take stereo input from the circuit board? How the single speaker out stereo?

Hi, it does take a stereo input. But the built-in DSP will mux the signals to a single output stream for the speaker.

I've had this speaker for about 6 months. Has been working fine but now all of a sudden there's this electric pop noise randomly when listening to any audio from any apps, KZbin, YT music, deezer, pocketcast and poweramp (FLAC, MP3). I've contacted the reseller and he sent me a new one, guess what same problem. I have no problem with my other Bluetooth headphones or speakers. Using a cable solves the problem but I bought it as a Bluetooth speaker not an analog one. Any ideas why this is happening? What's with this electric pop noise. Please help!
