In the speaker test, the best Bluetooth and WiFi devices score highly with their rich sound and ease of use. However, only a few offer this complete package. Natural sounding bass, clearly audible details and balanced, lively sound - this is what the perfect speaker should sound like...

- Auracast function
- Elegant design
- The sound leaves something to be desired
- Battery endurance
- Missing hands-free function
The JBL Go 4 is one of the smallest Bluetooth speakers on the market, packed with functions and very robust. The sound is what you'd expect: flat and bland, but given the dimensions, it's still fine for those who want to listen at a lower volume.

The small speaker has an appealing design, is extremely robust (and waterproof) and sounds well above its size - but you shouldn't expect miracles. Larger speakers sound far better...

- Good app for settings.
- Not a good sound
- Very short battery life

The lightest Bluetooth speaker in the test fails above all in terms of battery life: in several runs, it only lasted for 3.5 hours each and thus only for very short trips...
