Go4 – Portable Waterproof Speaker Pink (JBLGO4PINK) Review
JBL Go 4 (JBLGO4PINK) Review: A Pink Pocket Rocket of Sound?
The JBL Go 4 (JBLGO4PINK), a petite powerhouse in a vibrant pink hue, promises portable JBL Pro Sound. But does this compact speaker deliver on its promises of punchy bass, extended playtime, and robust durability? I’ve spent the last few weeks putting it through its paces, from poolside lounging to outdoor adventures, to give you a comprehensive review.
The JBL Go 4 boasts a surprisingly impressive feature set for its size. Its compact design makes it incredibly portable, easily slipping into a bag or pocket. The waterproof and dustproof construction (IP67 rating) means you can take it virtually anywhere without worrying about the elements. Bluetooth connectivity is seamless, and pairing with my phone was effortless. The inclusion of the JBL Portable app adds extra control and customization options. It’s also worth noting that the pink color is truly eye-catching, standing out from the usual black and gray speakers.

Sound quality is where the JBL Go 4 truly shines. Despite its size, it delivers surprisingly rich and detailed audio. The bass is definitely present, although not earth-shattering. Expect a punchier bass than smaller speakers in its class, but it won’t replace a dedicated subwoofer. The mid and high frequencies are clear and well-balanced, making it suitable for various genres of music. I tested it with a diverse range of tracks—pop, rock, classical, and even some electronic dance music—and the results were consistently impressive. The battery life also exceeded expectations; I easily achieved more than 8 hours of continuous playtime on a single charge. The added 2 hours with Playtime Boost mode were a welcome bonus on extended listening sessions.
Volume levels are adequate for most scenarios. While it won’t fill a large room with sound, it’s more than loud enough for personal listening and small gatherings. The microphone quality for taking calls was decent, enabling clear conversations even in moderately noisy environments.
Pros:
- Excellent sound quality for its size
- Impressive battery life
- Durable and waterproof (IP67)
- Portable and compact design
- Stylish and vibrant pink color
Cons:
- Bass could be slightly deeper for some listeners
- Maximum volume isn’t ideal for very large spaces
- No built-in strap or carry loop
Overall, the JBL Go 4 (JBLGO4PINK) is a fantastic little speaker that punches well above its weight. Its combination of compact portability, superb sound quality, rugged durability, and extended battery life makes it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable, portable audio solution. The vibrant pink color is a nice touch, adding a pop of personality. While it might not be the perfect speaker for everyone—especially those who prioritize maximum volume or deep bass—it’s a solid performer and a highly recommended product. I give it a thumbs up!
