The maximum volume threshold of the built-in radiator is small, nevertheless, the speaker boasts moderate bass processing, a relatively clean "middle" and unobtrusive upper frequencies.

To the beat of the music being played, JBL JRPOP winks with a multi-coloured LED backlight around the perimeter of the front panel of the speaker. You can listen to tracks through a portable speaker speaker for up to 5 hours in a row — that's how much the battery charge with a capacity of 600 mAh is enough. Its charging takes about 2 hours.
