It is a simple and elegant design that is easy on the eyes and can fit well in any surrounding. The higher end sounds It's a little weird the speaker sounds bigger than it is, but flatter than that size sounds.The Mi Compact Speaker 2 is a tiny matte white cylinder with a parametric mesh on the top for sound output. The drums in Metallica's 'Of Wolf and Man' have a surprising amount of punch, but not as much as I'd hope for. In a bass-heavy track like Eric B & Rakim's 'Let the Rhythm Hit'em,' the bass is present but not much more. While it does well in the mid-range of sound, it doesn't handle the far edges of sound as well. On the music side, it does an admirable job, and lacks in exactly the ways I'd expect a speaker of this size and density to. When playing video from my Pixel, I didn't experience any noticeable lag between the video and audio signals, so I was getting a much better viewing experience than I would with just my phone.

It delivers clean, clear audio with plenty of volume to break through the noise wall created by a running faucet or cooking food. While I can't pretend the sound is going to equal that of a substantially bigger speaker, I'm pretty impressed with the JBL GO 2's sound capability.ДЇor podcasts, YouTube videos, and other speech-heavy stuff like that, the GO 2 is a rockstar. Instead, I ended up cleaning food off my hands and changing the track on my phone. There were a few times I found myself wishing the GO had a skip button on it. As I mentioned before, you have power, sync, volume, and play/pause buttons. The other big downside to the GO 2 is just how few buttons are on it. A day at the pool is going to kill it dead, though, even if it stands up to all the abuse an adventure like that can dish out. If you're using it around the house doing chores, you'll be charging it every week or so. That's not the worst, but it's not great, either. The JBL GO 2 is rated for 5 hours of playback at moderate volume. What will keep it out of a day in the forest is the battery life. I don't mountain bike or skydive, so I can't tell you whether it's suited to days in the forest or by the lake, but it stands up to pretty rough treatment in the house for sure, and wipes clean without a thought. It sat next to my stove while I cooked dinner, on the edge of the tub while I showered, and next to the sink while I brushed my teeth. Just make sure that port cover is sealed up tight.Дuring my time using this speaker, it followed me all around the house. That means it can't just sit next to the swimming pool, it came come with you into the pool and go down as far as a meter for up to 30 minutes and still work. Perhaps the killer feature on this little beast is that it's IPX7 waterproof rated. It's small enough to be unobtrusive, and the variety of colors assures that whether your style is 'matte black everything' or 'full-on rainbow,' you'll be able to make it work with your gear. There's so little going on here that it's hard to find much to criticize. The top is lined with power, play, volume, and sync buttons, while the right side has a sealable port for the USB Micro charger and 3.5mm audio jack. One side is solid plastic, while the other is speaker grill from edge to edge.

But it's a pretty tight little package with very little going on on the outside. At 184g, it's a little heavier than a Pixel XL 2, but I promise it costs a lot less. That's not the most relevant comparison, I know. It reminds me of an Atari or Sega Genesis cartridge. That comes out to about 2.8-inches tall, 3.4-inches wide, and 1.24-inches thick. JBL has it listed as being 71.2 x 86.0 x 31.6 (mm). Until technology proves otherwise, this thing is about all the smaller I can imagine a speaker getting.
