Appearance and build quality
JBL Go 3 arrives to the new owner in a very compact, semi-transparent box, inside of which the speaker is already visible. And besides it, there was a short charging cable and documents rolled up in a cylinder. Not much. But that's all it takes. The length of the wire is a little frustrating, but the connector is on the Type-C speaker, which means it won’t be difficult to find a longer replacement.
The first thing that catches your eye , if you are familiar with the previous generation JBL Go 2, is, of course, a built-in hinge made of dense material and even with a rubberized element on the fold. It is non-removable and not adjustable, but quite soft. Using it, the speaker can be attached to a backpack or hung on some hook. Or even hook it on your finger while holding it in your hand. Previously, such mounts (more precisely, a carabiner) were the hallmarks of another line of compact speakers from JBL - Clip.

One brave young man (17 years old), seeing this column for the first time, compared it to vaping. Perhaps he is right in some ways; if you take it in your hand with the loop up, then there are clearly similarities.
