Rich JBL Original Pro Sound
The signature JBL sound quality sets this speaker apart. With its well-balanced audio profile, the GO Essential 2 delivers clear vocals, defined mids and surprising low-end for its size. On board are all the audio essentials: a frequency response from 180 Hz to 20 kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio of > 80 dB.
This means you’ll enjoy full sound for music, movies or podcasts – no need to compromise just because you chose a portable speaker.
Robust Outdoor Friend – IP67 Waterproof & Dustproof
The GO Essential 2 is built for adventure. It has an IP67 rating, meaning the speaker is fully dustproof and can withstand immersion in up to one metre of fresh water for 30 minutes.
From pool-side chill to camping in dusty terrain, you don’t have to worry about weather, sand or splash. Place it on a picnic table, use it by the beach, or toss it in your daypack without hesitation.
Wireless Bluetooth Streaming – Cordless Freedom
Thanks to Bluetooth 4.2, the speaker pairs easily with your smartphone, tablet or laptop. Stream music wirelessly and enjoy seamless playback without being tethered by cables.
No aux cables, no docking stations — simply connect and play. The smart connectivity means it’s perfect for outdoor use, living rooms, or any casual setup.
Up to 5 Hours Playtime – Ready for the Day
A single charge gives you up to 5 hours of continuous music playback, freeing you from constant charging.
With a quick 2.5-hour charging time (via USB-C) you’ll be ready for your next outing. Whether you’re heading to the beach, to a backyard BBQ, or around the house, the battery is designed to support your lifestyle.
USB-C Charging & Travel Friendly
The GO Essential 2 uses a USB-C charging port, which means easier cable compatibility (match your phone or laptop cable) and faster charge times. The included version does not include a wall charger — just the speaker and quick start guide.
