Pros and cons

According to our WiFi speaker expert

With extra JBL WiFi speakers, you can easily create a multi-room setup and stream music throughout the house.
With the integrated Google Assistant, you can control the speaker via voice commands.
Thanks to the built-in Google Chromecast, you can wirelessly listen to music and streaming services.
The JBL Link Music doesn't have a built-in battery like the JBL Link Portable, so you have to connect it to a socket.
It's not possible to place the speaker in your bathroom, because the design isn't dust and water-resistant.

Good speaker that is also interesting for Apple fans

Works with the Google Home and Apple Home apps
Powerful sound
Stereo pair to be set with second copy
No stereo pair via Airplay 2

This speaker has much more powerful sound for the same money as a HomePod mini. With this JBL you can already have quite a party, especially if you use two or more. Even with 1 JBL you already have reasonable spatial sound. They work in the same way as Google Nest speakers during installation and operation, namely via the Google Home app. As a result, they have the same functionality as Google's own speakers. What makes this speaker special is that it also has Airplay 2 from Apple on board in addition to Chromecast from Google. That makes it more widely usable for iPhone owners than other smart speakers. Especially if you have an Apple Music subscription, because Apple's Music app only works with Airplay 2. Unfortunately, true stereo via Airplay 2 with two JBL Link Music speakers is not possible, but the spatial effect remains intact. It's not impossible, because you do have real stereo if you control Apple Music with your voice with the Google Assistant. It remains strange that the Apple Home app only allows a stereo pair with its own HomePods, but not with 2 identical Airplay 2 speakers from another brand (like JBL). Funny and valuable is the operation of the Google Nest Hub 2 in combination with these speakers. The Nest Hub 2's screen provides valuable information on its display about what's playing through the JBL. For example, information about the radio station or music track.

Review is 9,3 out of 10.

Excellent price / quality ratio!

nice bass
google assistant
design
High tones are a bit soft

Easy to install, I had everything working in no time. Gives a big sound, although the highs are a bit on the soft side. Then the lack of an equalizer is a loss.

Review is 7,7 out of 10.

Price / quality in order

Great sound for little thing
Airplay works smoothly
Bluetooth via TV works
Privacy

Bought to get better sound from TV, but also to set up music via Airplay. This speaker does both well. Connected to the mains voltage, choice, no fiddling with charging the battery.

Now you buy a 'smart' speaker with Google assistant, but did not expect that you had to fill in so much personal data with the Google Home App to get through an installation. After the installation, finely connected to WiFi, actually streaming via Airplay via the Mac or iOS device. For a brand like JBL they could have invested a little more in a decent app. The speakers cannot be operated and/or set with the JBL app, only with Google Home or Apple Home (I don't use it). You have to set sound settings on the device with which you stream, there is no sound mode possible on the speaker itself. At half to almost full volume, the quality is certainly not disappointing. Suitable for a small to medium-sized living room, bedroom or study. Unfortunately not suitable for the bathroom there he would certainly have done well.
