Don't forget to mention this feature:
EASY STEREO PAIRING: Bump two Go 5 bluetooth speakers together and AirTouch instantly links them into true left-right stereo. Or connect multiple JBL Auracast-enabled speakers wirelessly for an even wider, more immersive sound.

It would be interesting to do a sound test of two of these paired versus a single JBL Grip or Flip 6.

I think costco had similar anker units, that ended on a clearance a pair for 19.97, while original price 39.99(sale 29.99) for a set of two. I would say it was worth it at that price, had decent sound but bluetooth pairing would struggle at times.

Quite some time ago. At least in North Cali these were gone by late winter or mid spring.

are you sure you're not confusing it with the Anker Soundcore speakers?

I have the JBL go 4 from work. It doesn't sound good. I rather get a bigger one with better sound. The JBL flip sounds a lot better.

Yeah, I believe someone I worked with had the go 4 and it was kind of meh. The go 5 is slightly larger and just a little more power, but I'm guessing it's probably more of the same. 🤷

Well this is a $10 speaker at a $40 price point.

If you want this level of performance for $10, look for the Soundcore Select 4 Go on Amazon Prime Days in October. They were $10 new on Amazon Haul over prime days a few months back. Fantastic little speaker, especially for the price. Wish I bought a few more for gifts.
