”For a great, affordable, durable home smart speaker, you’ll be hard-pushed to find a product that can match the JBL’s Link Portable.”’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
Portable speaker that’s perfect for outdoors
Featuring a charging cradle and IPX7 waterproofing, the JBL Link Portable is the perfect speaker for BBQs, music in the garden, picnics and festivals. IPX7 waterproofing ensures the speaker easily handles a change in weather or a spillage.
Ideal for indoors, too
The tough and robust build doesn’t just suit outdoor use, but also harsher environments indoors, too. Designed to stand up to temperature extremes and moisture, this is the perfect portable speaker for use in the kitchen, bathroom or conservatory.
Long battery life and home charging cradle
With up to 8 hours of battery life, the JBL Link Portable has you covered for everything from a day in the office to an all-night party. Once the juice has run out, simply place on the supplied cradle and recharge. If you’re out-and-about, you can also charge with any compatible USB-C charger.
JBL 360-degree Pro Sound for room-filling audio
Thanks to its radiating speaker design, the Link Portable pulses sound through 360-degrees. This makes it ideal for room-filling sound inside and evenly-balanced sound outside – letting everyone in your group clearly hear the music.
Google Assistant built-in
With Google Assistant built-in, the JBL Link Portable is ready to take your voice commands. Just talk to the speaker to stream music, find answers on Google Search (the world’s most popular search engine), manage everyday tasks and control other smart devices. Just say ‘OK Google’ and let the fun begin.
Chromecast built-in
Chromecast lets you stream music, podcasts and audio apps, including Google Play. Having it built-in saves the battery life on your phone as the phone's Bluetooth transmission system isn't used for this purpose. Being able to stream straight from the cloud also gives the best audio quality.
One app controls it all
Download the Google Home app and you’ve got effortless control of your home entertainment. Integrate all your favourite streaming music services for voice activation. You can also cast audio from supported mobile devices, laptops and PCs.
Link ‘em up
Using the Google app and Chromecast system, it’s easy to create a wireless, multi-room home audio system. Choose between compatible Chromecast speakers or simply stick to the JBL Link family and enjoy the sound of music all around your home. Listen to the same music everywhere or different music, at different volumes in each room.
Apple AirPlay 2
If you prefer Apple to Android, the Link Portable is also compatible with AirPlay 2. Simply pair your Apple device and wirelessly stream music, podcasts and any other audio you wish.
Bluetooth connectivity
As well as connecting to your home wi-fi network, the Link Portable also makes local links with Bluetooth devices. Perfect for when you’re out of wi-fi range, simply connect your smartphone or tablet by Bluetooth and keep the music streaming.
Indoors or outdoors, come rain or shine, the JBL Link Portable is your constant, music companion.

Nice, portable, sounds good.
There are not many options out there for a portable (battery operated) speaker with Google assistant. I purchased this as a Christmas present, I wanted a portable internet radio. This fit the bill and comes with the benefit of Google assistant. It comes with a charging base and lead, you will need a USB charging plug. But I had a few laying around from previous phones.
Easy to setup, good sound and best of all it’s portable.

Nice looking and sounding speaker
Only had it a couple of days but really easy to setup and sounds great. Easily fills quite a large kitchen and the google assistant feature is great. Haven’t tested the battery life much yet so we shall see.

Good feature but faulty charging mechanism
It works as advertised. It sounds good considering the size of the speaker. JBL tunes down the bass when the volume is too high to avoid cracking sound. Clever!
On the feature side Google Home and AirPlay2 without a problem as well as the bare bone Bluetooth. However, Google Home set up is a must. It does not work at all, No AirPlay, no bluetooth, no nothing unless it is set up with Google Home. I can accept that.
However, the charging leaves a lot to desire. It does charge the speaker. However the speaker drains the battery flat even while the speaker stands on the pod all day. I have reseat it again in order for it to start charging again every time. It is pretty strange. I don't know whether it is the faulty pod or the speaker. Otherwise it earns 5 stars.

Poor sound
I've only given this a 2 star review as there is no way to adjust the sound levels because the graphic equalizer isn't supported in the google home app.

Not really what I was after
I should have bought a non-smart Bluetooth speaker. The sound is OK. The speaker switches itself on if you leave it to charge which is annoying at night. Bluetooth connection is simple enough

Great sounding little speaker.
Considering its size, this sturdily built little speaker sounds great. It has flexible connection options: via bluetooth, chromecast or the google assistant. About the only thing that lets it down is the lack of a 3.5mm jack.
