The JBL Go 4 is one of the smallest Bluetooth speakers on the market, packed with functions and very robust. The sound is what you'd expect: flat and bland, but given the dimensions, it's still fine for those who want to listen at a lower volume. If you can spend a little more, you should opt for the Clip 5. It's slightly larger, but offers a much better sound.
