Deeyaple Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Score: 84/100Rankings
The Deeyaple A10 is a compact, waterproof Bluetooth speaker delivering 15 W stereo sound and all-day battery life. Its small footprint comes with limited app control and unclear maximum volume performance. Ideal for travelers, hikers and beach-goers who need durability and visual LED effects.
The JBL Go 3 is an ultra-compact speaker offering punchy bass, a built-in noise-cancelling speakerphone, and IP67 waterproof/dustproof protection. Its limited volume, short 5-hour battery and older Bluetooth 4.1 limit its use for longer or louder sessions. Ideal for travelers and casual listeners needing a pocket-sized speaker.

Professional reviewers commend the JBL Go for delivering a surprisingly full-range sound with punchy bass and clear highs despite its miniature size, highlighting its value-for-money feature set that includes a speakerphone and wired input. However, they note its limited maximum volume, short 5-hour battery, and lack of any IP rating as drawbacks compared to newer JBL mini speakers.
Everyday users appreciate the big, punchy audio and the convenience of multiple colors and a strap hook, finding the 5-hour battery adequate for casual use and the speakerphone handy for calls. Common complaints revolve around the limited loudness, faster battery drain at high volumes, no water resistance, and occasional Bluetooth connectivity hiccups.
