Top 10 JBL Speakers

A powerful round with stereo sound, which is increasingly preferred by users who previously looked towards JBL products. The Chinese counterpart is almost twice as heavy, but also at least twice as powerful as the American original. In addition, Hoco can work up to 12 hours on a single charge, while JBL will turn off 2 hours earlier. The reviews say that the speaker is loud and with such a powerful bass that if you are nearby, your body will vibrate. The body is durable. The main disadvantage of Hoko against the background of JBL is the complete lack of water protection. Competitors from China and the USA are similar in price, but the Chinese offer increased power for the same money.

Inexpensive and compact analogue of a portable speaker from JBL. The Chinese model is visually different from the proposals of the American brand, but in fact it is an alternative to the small and convenient Clip. Inside there is one speaker, its power is 3.5 watts.There is moisture protection from rain, but the manufacturer kept silent about dust, while the version of the column from the USA is protected to the maximum from dust. The reviews praise pronounced bass, good sound and nice design, durable case. Users are dissatisfied with incomplete water protection, the lack of notifications about the charge level and the 3.5 mm Jack connector.

The lightest three-watt speaker, which was created as an analogue of Clip 3 from JBL. The model is significantly lower in price, but loses in terms of battery life (3 hours of operation versus 10 hours), cannot boast of a carabiner (only a lanyard), and is endowed with less power (3 W versus 3.3 W). All this is forgivable, if you look at the price. But the Chinese counterpart is noticeably lighter, looks nice, is protected from water and dust according to the high IP67 standard. The reviews call the main problem of the device - the volume reserve is not always enough. Users also note that there is enough power for cycling outside the city.

A quality alternative from China to the JBL column. In terms of characteristics, the device is similar to the JBL Clip 4, and in design it is similar to the JBL GO 3. The cost is almost half compared to the Clip 4, but Xiaomi loses in terms of protective functions. If the Chinese column is protected from rain and partly from dust, then the American original is not afraid of immersion in water and can work for a long time in dusty conditions. The device from the USA also has a large selection of colors, and Xiaomi offers a column in a single black color. The model is optimally suited for outings into nature, cycling, hiking.

A bright Chinese speaker that looks and functions like models from JBL and the Flip and Charge series. At the same time, the price is almost 4 times lower, but you have to pay for the low cost with the lack of moisture protection, lower speaker power and worse sound quality.At a low volume of up to 50%, the sound is quite pleasant, but if you increase it, the music gets upset, becomes loose, sandy. There are no wheezing, but the quality drops noticeably. Great value for your money for a teenager to use a speaker in the room. The manufacturer provided legs, but the support area is small, and because of this, the column is unstable.

The Chinese analogue of the JBL Flip 5 is a rather powerful cylinder with a long operating time, good water protection and mono sound. Ginzzu offers stereo sound for a third of the price with similar power to JBL, but shorter runtime and lower water resistance. Another Chinese version of JBL is four times heavier than the original and resembles the Xtreme 3 model in weight, and the Boombox 2 in case design. Reviews say that this is the best budget solution for outdoor gatherings. Experts say that the sound quality at mid frequencies is better than that of JBL. Another pleasant moment: the manufacturer for some reason underestimated the battery life in the characteristics: the device can work not 5, but 7 hours.

A handy speaker from China with a surprisingly powerful battery and good stereo sound. Xiaomi created it as an alternative to the famous JBL Flip. The device turned out to be successful - the price is lower than that of American colleagues, but the sound is more pleasant due to the stereo, the water protection is of the same level, the control is equally excellent, and the battery life is longer. Many lack bass - Xiaomi has an even sound without pronounced bass, so if you wanted to buy a Chinese analogue of JBL with a similarly strong bass, it's better to look at another model. If the bass is not a priority, then this option will be optimal in terms of price-quality ratio.

The best JBL alternative from the Partybox series.It is less powerful than the Partybox 100, but also stereo, mains and battery operated, with a slightly wider frequency range and backlight. The operating time of the Chinese counterpart is almost 2.5 times less, but the weight is about the same - about 10 kg. A distinctive feature of Ginzzu is karaoke for two microphones, as well as an equalizer with controls on the top panel. JBL cannot boast of this. But the Chinese model has a hiss at low volume, and a loud click is heard when the power is turned off.

A loud portable speaker that can run as long on battery power as the JBL Partybox 300 - 18 hours. The model was released in 2020, at half the price of the American competitor, and bypasses it in terms of ergonomics. So, the device weighs 6.5 kg, while the JBL weighs 10 kg or more. But the power of SoundCore is half as much. Despite this, users who have trusted the Chinese manufacturer are satisfied with the volume reserve even when used in the yard in the country and at a picnic in nature. For bass lovers, the Chinese have provided a separate button to activate bass boost. A strap is provided for easy carrying.

A modest-looking column that stands out with high power among JBL analogues, but still lags behind the American competitor in numbers. Despite this, in the reviews, users claim that it is very loud, and when used in an apartment, the discontent of the neighbors is provided to you. The bass is good, the sound is balanced - the highs are clear, the mids do not sink, the lows do not stick out. There are two wireless microphones in the kit - this is a serious advantage over JBL. Among the shortcomings: thin plastic case, lack of moisture protection.
