Man u just hit the sweet spot when it's comes to reviewing a speaker. I went through lot of reviews about this product but ur review tops in that list. Everybody kept on talking over the specs but no one did a actual sound test except for few. You did a proper sound review, outdoor testing was awesome. And one thing what I liked about ur video was u kept it simple I liked it very much. I wish u get more and more subs.Just don't stop what ur doing . 🙏

[@pickyaudio]

Thanks! I’m glad you liked the video and the sound tests 😊

[@lazaruschrist6575]

Man u didnt hit any sweet spots ! No one wants to hear from their speaking either not even their fans! 😂 Man u got trashed 4-0 to brentford! Thats how they speak! Thats their "sweet spot" 😆

I can tell the difference in the bass and the volume with the Clip. I can't believe how good they sound for how small they are this is a kick-ass review man thank you again as always. 💯🇺🇲👍

Cheers Mike! 😊

[@boofmaster]

This is honestly one of the best produced reviews I’ve seen while going down the JBL KZbin rabbit hole. Your input is well-worded and much appreciated; do you know if these color options are specific to your country? They aren’t available on JBL’s site in the US unfortunately and I quite like them

[@pickyaudio]

Thank you! Yea it must be Aussie only options sadly

[@rsomorai]

Great review mate, I LOVE your "real world" comparisons :)

[@stealthis]

The reason why the clip 4 has more trouble is because it is likely to be out of odd angle to The listener, where is the go three can be more precisely pointed. It doesn't mean it's better, although having more power is always a good thing. You can replicate the trouble difference with EQ.

[@swimjlc2487]

Just went and picked up a clip 4 because of this video, It was the perfect comparison video to understand which one is better for me and my needs Definitely dropping a sub thankyou!

Awesome! I’m glad the video helped 🙌

[@nataliahernandez6778]

I won the jbl clip4 during the holidays, in a white elephant game! I’m so happy with it! We used it that night, straight out of the box, for 5 hours, no problem, and still went home, and used it for another 7, and it still had some charge for the next day! Battery life is phenomenal! Sound is superb! I love this little powerhouse of a speaker! Your review was spot on, with my personal experience! 👍🏼

[@deyoviC]

They could've made the Clip 4's bottom flat and maybe throw in some rubber so it can be used in a standing position...

[@oliver_liew]

They probably did it intentionally to avoid cannibalizing the sales of the Go 3

[@Will-lh5yg]

I recently got the go3, here in the u arse it's $39 as compared to $59 for the clip. Really impressed with the sound quality and clean bass at high volume without distortion. In store (Wal-Mart) comparison revealed the clip had slightly more volume but not enough to justify difference in price.

[@kassperplus]

Just ordered the clip 4 for $39 blackfriday deal. I thout it's expensive but seeing how it usually costs I think it's great deal

[@joshuahendrickson4854]

Thanks for such a thorough review. I am totally blind, and it was quite easy that the clip 4 sounded better. I'll have to pick one up soon. I'm sure it will sound great when I read books from audible, or listen to audio dramas, or watch described movies. Thanks again for the good review.

[@alferfoot1861]

I have that little go 3 thingy, and i must say that every time I listen to it, it just kind of surprise you with how clear the sound is..as shown in the video. Sure there are better sounding speakers out there, but that 4.2 watt is just magic..hehe. was considering xb12, but change my mind..clip 4 sounds a bit more open and punchier to my ears..nice

They pump out some great sound for their size hey 🙌

[@dejanamarkova6460]

That is a perfect review, I was just missing an example of how strong that clipping part is. Otherwise, it was so helpful to figure out which one I want to get. Thank you so much, I don't need to do any more research after this (or before, this is the first vid that popped up)!

[@pickyaudio]

Thanks! In glad you found it helpful 😊

[@technics6215]

No multi-pairing is a bit painful. I used to it in my Shure headphones. I hope they will implement it in next version. But slow charging is pretty acceptable for me in this price range. And I don't care about missing equalizer. It sounds good enough ;)

[@AltRockLover]

Grrrreat review man! Let me start by saying the LAST thing I need is another BT speaker lol. But when I saw the Go3 on sale locally for $30, I decided to look into it, and possibly find a use for it. Your video told me everything I need to know, to make a purchase I don't even need! They both sound incredible for the size, with a nod toward the 4. I like the extra bass and warmer sound. But, they aren't on sale, so I'll have to make due with the 3, which sound pretty darn good on its own. I really just plan to use it when I travel, especially since I like to play music for an hour while I fall asleep. This will be more than adequate.

[@pickyaudio]

Thanks! That’s a solid deal and speaker investments are always the best 🙌

Hi, Lovely clear detailed comparison, thanks very much. One question, I listen to audiobooks most of the time, and was wondering which you would go for ? I tend also to have the volume quite low and on my old JBL Flip 3 it didn't quite go low enough (though the clarity of voice was really good compared to big bassy speakers !!). Oh, I listen to podcasts too. The difference in price for me is not great so I don't mind that, I just would like to know which you would purchase for spoken clarity. Many Thanks !

Thanks for the review! For me, the fact that the Clip 4 can't stand upright on its own is a dealbreaker. So I decided on the Go 3 for my trip to Vietnam. Purchased in its original packaging and unopened, but without warranty for 24 Swiss francs (around 42 Australian dollars). Greetings from Switzerland.

[@SWEETIE3333]

This is how you do a review. Very impressed.

[@pickyaudio]

Thank you ☺️

[@badassassinthedogler3126]

Straight to the point and very helpful. But I am missing one thing noone ever talks about the sound it makes like when you turn it on, if it is a noisy sound or a voice talking. And what noise does is make when battery is low? And the noise it makes when there is an incoming call those are also reasons for considering a buy or not to buy.

[@mattrleaf]

Have you used it on a hike yet? If so, how was it? Just purchased the Go3 for hiking. Excited for its arrival.

[@ldnssunga4453]

Since the clip's passive radiator is in the back, we can amplify the bass by hanging it against a wall

We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning kzbin.infoUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.

[@isaacdadzie2814]

Jbl go 3 and clip 4 are good but if you want more bass buy and use clip 4. The man who explained the video is clever to differentiate the two Jbl speakers he tried to let us know a slight difference, much love to you.

[@michael.d.1107]

do you know how to replace the rubber grips on the bottom of the go 3?

[@ENCXBG1]

I just did this comparison for myself and the Clip 4 sounds noticeably better than the Go 3. I kept the Clip 4 and returned the Go 3. I like the rope handle better than the Clip though. You could just add a carabinier to the rope. While the clip is sure to get scratched up.

[@rodgerneeb301]

Perhaps I missed you saying it, but after having bought my Go3 then checking out all the reviews, the part that bummed me out was the lack of being able to daisy chain it with other jbl speakers. Now to explain to anyone thinking, well that's backwards why wouldn't you investigate it BEFORE buying it? Because I bought it from a Pawnshop, for $12.00 I had also gotten the other jbl speaker I would have liked to link it with from the same place, oh well, the quality items that I paid significantly less than retail for are missing a small feature I would have liked, but probably would have rarely used.

[@danniellejohnson448]

Dumb question but here it goes… If I was to listen to my KZbin playlist (free playlist where I add songs to my own personal playlist) and use Bluetooth to connect iPhone to the clip 4 will I still be able to listen to everything I watch on KZbin through the speakers?

[@Achilleas_1996]

I'm getting the go3 next week, I was considering clip 4 but it's like 50€ the black one and the other colors are 70€ which is not worth it imo. On the other hand go3 has amazing sound as well, better design and is half the price , the only downside is the battery life , but nothing a power bank can't solve

[@northcountryoutlaw9704]

I love my charge 4 but not sure about the smaller ones just looking for a back up that's not $130

[@stevesurfaro]

I believe the two reasons JBL introduced the Clip 4 was for the attachment, and that the GO 3 costs significantly more to build, with its separate drivers. Yes, GO 3 has a flat Springpower 750mA vs a Greatpower 1050mA battery, but it depends on your use case. If your battery eventually goes on the GO 3, you can fit a 1200mA flat battery in there (strong adhesive though). I'd rather have mine float :)

[@technics6215]

I saw somewhere a video on youtube where some guy puts two batteries in parallel into Go 3 and they fit. That means 1500mAh. Don't try this if you have no experience with li-ion batteries and electronics. Btw. you can always use some kind of power bank.

[@zulou2315]

Both have one active and one passive driver.
