Sound quality: JBL's Go 3 had Fair overall sound quality. What little bass there is has little impact is subdued and deep bass is lacking. Midrange is grainy, somewhat hazy and a bit thin. Treble lacks extension and is dry and somewhat prominent, smeared, and sizzly. Does a so-so job of recovering room ambience and is somewhat congested. The speaker is monophonic. It provides a decent volume level in a small sized room and is well suited for near field listening, at its loudest volume levels, the sound becomes strained.
