Review on Renewed JBL PartyBox On-The-Go Portable Speaker with Built-in Lights in Black by John Clark

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Overpriced Tinkertoy

For $260 I expected a lot more from JBL. That's about half of what it should be. If you were expecting something you can use and don't look like a childish tinkerer, this toy isn't for you. If you want to turn off the light, you're out of luck. When you change the volume on the device, it uses the indicators around the speaker to tell you the volume. Just like a toy should. I use my Apple Watch to change the volume on my phone. When you do, JBL turns on colorful toy lights to indicate your volume level. How playful is this sound? Non-professional audio delay on the microphone input and wireless microphone is a clear sign that you are a hobbyist and this is your cheap toy, even if you paid too much for it. better than that and that's why I chose this device. It's well built, but your engineers are so lacking. It is not loud enough, sounds like a toy and needs improvement in features. Turn off that stupid mic delay. You did it with a guitar. You can do this with a microphone. Turn up the volume and let's turn the light off (completely off). As for the battery life I don't know, I'm already so disappointed and didn't even try to drain the battery. I had such high hopes for JBL. Maybe a Chinese imitation is better.
