Take your music anywhere with the JBL GO ESSENTIAL Wireless Speaker, a compact yet powerful portable speaker that delivers legendary JBL sound in a stylish, pocket-friendly design. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, spending a day at the beach, hosting an outdoor get-together, or simply enjoying your favourite playlist at home, this speaker turns every moment into a soundtrack.

Available in Black, Blue, and Red, the GO ESSENTIAL combines sleek design, wireless freedom, and rich audio clarity — proof that big sound can come from small packages.

Big JBL Sound, Compact Form

Don’t underestimate its size. The JBL GO ESSENTIAL may fit in your palm, but it’s engineered to deliver crisp highs, solid mids, and powerful bass that fill the room. Featuring JBL’s signature Original Pro Sound, this mini speaker reproduces every beat and vocal with precision and depth.

Perfect for small spaces or outdoor adventures, it transforms everyday listening into an immersive experience. The compact body makes it ultra-portable — slip it into your pocket, clip it to a backpack, or hold it comfortably in one hand.

Wireless Freedom – Bluetooth Connectivity

Say goodbye to cables. With wireless Bluetooth technology, the GO ESSENTIAL connects effortlessly to smartphones, tablets, or laptops. Pair it within seconds and enjoy seamless music playback up to 10 metres away.

Once paired, the connection stays stable and clear, letting you move around freely without dropouts or distortion. Whether you’re streaming from Spotify, YouTube, or your music library, everything sounds clean, loud, and dynamic.

Up to 5 Hours of Continuous Playtime

Powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery, the JBL GO ESSENTIAL delivers up to 5 hours of uninterrupted music on a single charge. That’s plenty of time for pool parties, backyard barbecues, study sessions, or travel playlists.

When it’s time to recharge, simply connect the included USB-C cable — it powers up quickly so you’re ready for the next outing. Energy-efficient and reliable, this speaker keeps the music playing wherever life takes you.

IPX7 Waterproof Rating – Ready for Pool & Beach

The IPX7 waterproof rating means the GO ESSENTIAL can handle splashes, rain, and even brief submersion in water (up to 1 metre for 30 minutes).

This makes it the perfect companion for outdoor use — enjoy music by the pool, at the beach, on a boat, or in the shower without worry. Rugged construction ensures it keeps performing even in humid or wet environments.

Your playlist doesn’t stop just because of a little water.

Modern Design with the Iconic JBL Logo

Minimalist yet bold, the GO ESSENTIAL features smooth edges, a matte finish, and the iconic JBL logo that reflects premium craftsmanship. The durable housing resists scratches and fingerprints, maintaining its fresh look even with daily use.

Available in classic Black, deep Blue, and vibrant Red, it’s both stylish and versatile. Choose a colour that matches your personality or your gear — all models showcase the same refined JBL design language known around the world.

Loud and Clear Stereo Sound

The GO ESSENTIAL’s powerful 40 mm driver and JBL’s proprietary tuning deliver 3.1 W RMS of output power, creating clean, distortion-free sound even at high volumes.

Enjoy your favourite songs, podcasts, or audiobooks with surprising loudness and balance for a speaker of its size. From acoustic melodies to dance tracks, it maintains clear separation and full stereo presence.

Perfect for private listening or group gatherings — everyone will be impressed by how such a small speaker sounds so big.

Lightweight and Pocket-Sized

Weighing around 180 grams, the JBL GO ESSENTIAL is built for mobility. It’s small enough to carry effortlessly yet tough enough to handle daily adventures.

Pop it into your backpack, gym bag, or carry-on — it’s your go-anywhere companion for music, movies, and more. The compact design also makes it ideal for home use, whether on your desk, kitchen counter, or nightstand.

Small footprint, huge performance.

USB-C Charging – Simple and Convenient

The latest USB-C charging interface ensures fast, efficient charging and universal compatibility with modern devices. One cable does it all — no proprietary plugs, no confusion.

Please note: the package includes a USB-C cable but no wall charger, giving you the flexibility to charge via laptop, power bank, or adapter.

This makes the GO ESSENTIAL eco-friendly and travel-friendly, minimising unnecessary accessories and waste.

Durable Construction for Everyday Use

Built to last, the GO ESSENTIAL features a sturdy plastic shell reinforced with waterproof sealing and impact protection. It’s resistant to bumps, drops, and environmental stress, making it ideal for outdoor adventures.

From sandy beaches to busy commutes, this speaker keeps performing — proving that durability and style can coexist beautifully.

Quick Controls & LED Indicator

The top panel includes intuitive buttons for play/pause, volume control, and Bluetooth pairing.

A discreet LED indicator shows the current status — power, charging, and connectivity — so you’re always in control.

Everything is designed for one-handed, hassle-free use.
