About this item
Written by Crutchfield's Ralph Graves
Voice control in a portable speaker
The JBL Link Portable has Google Assistant built-in. So when you say, "OK, Google, play Motown," it hears and obeys. When it's connected to your home Wi-Fi® network, the Link Portable can interpret your voice commands to access streaming music services, internet radio stations, and more. Set timers, get the weather, or play a podcast episode. Take it beyond Wi-Fi range, like out in the yard, and you've still got a great-sounding Bluetooth speaker.
Great sound indoors or out
The JBL Link Portable features a high-performance full-range transducer. It fires downward, creating a spacious 360° soundfield. Side-firing passive radiators reinforce the low frequencies, giving you stronger bass.
Compatible with AirPlay 2
Apple AirPlay 2 is built into the Link Portable. That means you can stream audio content directly from your iPhone®, iPad®, or Mac® computer through your speaker. That includes soundtracks from YouTube® videos and Netflix movies.
Simple operation with Google Assistant
To set up the Link Portable, download the free Google Home app. You can then control the speaker through your smartphone or tablet via the app, or use voice commands (when using Wi-Fi). Control compatible smart home devices from Wemo, Philips Hue, Samsung SmartThings, Nest, and others. Stream music from your favorite apps, internet radio stations, and more — all with voice commands.
Plus it's portable!
The Link Portable is completely waterproof and delivers up to eight hours on a single battery charge. Take it with you around the house, out by the pool, or even onto the beach — it can handle it.
