GadgetGuy’s take – JBL 2021 are great value

I like the JBL sound signature – its good easy listening with just the right amount of bass. 2021 is the 75th year of JBL. All the way, it has focused on quality and value. Although not as cheap as the generics, it has excellent warranty and support.

All portable speakers will be available at jbl.com.au and major retailers from March 1 2021. You can read more GadgetGuy JBL news and reviews here.
