JBL Playlist

amazon JBL Playlist reviews

JBL Playlist is probably not too strange for many people because it was released a long time ago. Possessing a modest price compared to many other competitors on the market, the Playlist is still optimized by JBL with useful features, stability, a good-looking appearance, and good sound quality.

JBL Playlist owns a powerful bass range, 2x15W large speaker capacity, and a convenient Google Cast feature.

Build – Appearance

JBL Playlist has a solid build thanks to the combination of familiar high-quality plastic and stretch fabrics. Like many other JBL speaker products, the Playlist has a solid structure, strong music playback ability hidden in a not too bulky appearance.

Speaker weighs more than 1kg; width is more than 30cm. On the front is a fabric grille, above the JBL logo, a language that is quite familiar to those familiar with the speaker lines from JBL. Below that are two 57mm dynamic drivers that take care of the treble and mid ranges.

Behind is an eye-catching silver capsule-shaped bass reflex port. The bass driver is placed separately behind, so it is easy to predict that JBL Playlist’s bass performance will be quite great.

At the top of the speaker is a cluster of touch-sensitive navigation buttons. They are completely separated from the rest of the speaker and easily recognized by the harmoniously curved lines. Below the speaker is a deep cavity; inside, there is a 3.5mm AUX port, power port, and reset button.

The overall design is generally quite simple, elegant, good-looking, suitable for many living room spaces in the house. JBL’s familiar yet neat and convenient build way of a building doesn’t have much to criticize.

Connectivity – Features

JBL Playlist can connect via Bluetooth and through your home wifi system thanks to the Cast button on its body. To play music on the speaker, you need to open your music streaming platform and press the Cast icon on the speaker body to start playing music through the Playlist. Of course, it also supports Spotify Connect so that you can stream on Spotify easily.

Of course, you can still connect your smartphone to JBL Playlist via Bluetooth when you want to play music on Youtube, iTunes, or even connect directly via the 3.5mm AUX port when you prefer the classic style.

But I like to recommend that you use the Google Cast platform to listen to Playlist’s stream music. Because using this feature, you can hear higher resolution audio (24bit/96kHz). Because it is transmitted from the wifi network, it can achieve higher stability than Bluetooth. You can play music from anywhere in the house instead of being within a 10m radius around the speaker.

Sound quality

JBL Playlist possesses a balanced overall sound quality, featuring excellent bass range and clear detail reproduction. JBL is, as usual, never disappointing when it comes to sound quality.

Two 15W speakers give quite a powerful sound. The bass is well represented; the bass is deep, powerful, and separate thanks to the bass reflex port placed separately at the speaker’s rear. Mid and treb are also handled quite well, although not too good, still a bit rough in the treb strip but acceptable.

Anyway, with JBL Playlist, you can fully enjoy various music, but the most suitable is still young music, pop, hip-hop, dance, etc.

Ending

JBL Playlist is a good speaker in the price range under $180. A speaker with balanced, detailed sound quality, strong bass, well-built build, Google Cast integration, Spotify Connect at this price range, although not too comprehensive in all aspects, JBL has perfected it very well.
