  • The Link 20 is a great speaker on its own. The price varies between $160 and $200. It's only available in black for now. If having Google Assistant available in any part of your home whenever you want it, you will definitely enjoy the Link 20. If you...

  • Powered by Google Assistant, Portable and rugged, Well-balanced overall sound
  • Can't make calls
  • The JBL Link 20 outperforms the Google Home in almost every way. It sounds better, and offers portability and ruggedness. When using Google Assistant, it's responsive to commands, and I found only one thing it couldn't do: make calls. The benefits of the...

  • Abstract:  JBL has a justified reputation for wireless speakers; not only has it sold millions of them, they reliably offer good sonic performance at any given price. The Flip and Charge models (both now in a version 4) perhaps deliver maximum sound per pound thanks...

  • The Google Assistant-enabled JBL Link 20 has Google Chromecast built in and can be linked to other Link and Chromecast speakers to create a multiroom set-up. It delivers strong sound for a portable speaker, is fully waterproof, and has both Wi-Fi and Blue
  • Slow start-up time; some distortion at higher volumes
  • Among the handful of voice-enabled portable Wi-Fi speakers out there, the JBL Link 20 is arguably the best for the money...

  • Good sound quality, Google Assistant, 24-bit/96kHz streaming, IPX7 waterproofing,
  • Sound quality could be more nuanced and authoratitive, Google Assistant needs wi-fi connection, No 3.5mm input,
  • The Link 20 is a fine jack-of-all-trades speaker. Its portability, Google Assistant, and above-average sound quality mean that for those who want to play their music with minimal fuss, JBL has provided an easy solution.It's not going to be a chart-topper...
