I spent a lot of time researching a new Bluetooth Speaker - there are dozens for sale - so how do you decide on one that is going to be suitable ? First I looked at the manufacturer. I knew that JBL produced quality items so that was an easy choice. Then how to choose the right product - there were lots of reviews - both from Users and Technical reviews. All stated that the JBL Link 300 was a speaker that performed extremely well. Looking on JBL’s web site I found that there was a refurbished Link 300 at an amazing price. I quickly ordered one ! On delivery, it looked as if it was brand new - no marks, scratches or any signs of handling. The setup was straightforward - connecting a sound source - wow ! The sound is amazing ! Certainly a room filler - volume goes really really loud without any distortion. I am very pleased with my purchase and will probably order another one for a different room. I paid for the Speaker with my own money - it was not supplied to me in return for a review - I am just a very satisfied customer !

I purchased 3 of the JBL Link 300 2 came with firmware 1259 and 1 with 1690. The 1259 was missing many features and no matter what i did i could not update. The one with 1690 had all features including making calls. Now suddenly the one with 1690 stopped allowing calls saying it was unsupported. How do i get calls working again. My Link 20 with 1690 firmware has always made calls and still does and my HK 100 please help.

Either Google or JBL have removed the EQ function from google home meaning that you can no longer lower the bass while listening at lower volumes. Used to use this speaker every day as the but now it is just used as a glorified nest mini. Unless this functionality is returned I would recommend buying a different brand.
