After 3 months of using it as my shower speaker, the JBL Go 5 is now my favorite little Bluetooth speaker — and I'd doubly recommend it now it's had a price cut
If you're reaching for it automatically, it's a success.

In our full JBL Go 5 review, we gave it five stars for simply being as good as Bluetooth speakers get when they're this small.
