Don’t get me wrong, I have a JBL Go3, great for my niche application. Love the Charge 4, but the wife “liberated” it. I have seen some positive takes around the 2955-20. If you’re the kind of person who’s got one spare cleat available up top, and more amp hours than work hours, maybe this speaker is the play.

2955-20 wasn’t too bad when I heard it. Have been eyeballing when a field mechanic busts one out. I use a JBL Go3, it’s okay sound for a great price. Lightweight

I have the jbl go 3, it makes a great sound but compared to theese it's a toy, a friend has an older model of the sony and the sound quality is a very big difference, i was thinking maybe the flip 6 but I think it's weaker then theese ones

At work I have a stereo pair of JBL flip 6 I keep a stereo pair of JBL go4 in my iPad case for travel, to watch movies and YouTube on my iPad and just to have a great compact “portable stereo” with phone anytime anywhere. I have a single JBL go3 for the shower.

How about the JBL speakers? We have two JBL Go (3 and 4) and those little boxes makes such great and fun music listening!

The HK Go 3 is a beast and best indoor boombox in that price range but new ones are $350 and only the refurbs on ebay are going for $250. Another option for a bass heavy boombox is the OG Tribit Blast that Amazon has for $159 today.
