According to our WiFi speaker expert
Via WiFi, you can add the speaker to the Google Cast multi-room system.
Via internet, the speaker connects to thousands of radio stations.
You can't use the speaker wirelessly, because it has no battery.
With the JBL Playlist 150, you can wirelessly listen to your own music, streaming services, or internet radio. This speaker has the integrated Google Cast function. This allows the device to stream music from a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Activate an integrated streaming service or get access to thousands of online radio stations. When you connect multiple Google Cast speakers to each other, you can easily create a multi-room system. You can have 1 speaker play a song or stream music to every room of your house. The speaker streams music with a high sound quality (24bit/96kHz). This way, your favorite songs sound clear and detailed.

I bought the JBL as a replacement for my broken 5.1 surround set with the idea of purchasing more than one for a multi-room system. My requirements for a multi-room speaker: no hassle, easy control, stability and good sound quality.
In the box: You will find the speaker in a beautifully finished box. It is well protected in a thick layer of polystyrene foam. What is striking is that the user manual is very short. so don't expect to get much useful information from this.
The build quality: you can clearly see from the speaker that JBL is a subsidiary of Harman. The speaker is quite similar to the Harman Kardon Onyx, Omni and Go+Play. Personally, I think this is a good feature, because HK products are generally well put together. As expected, the speaker is well constructed and the housing feels solid. The big difference with other speakers is the weight. The JBL does not weigh much. This is usually due to the damping that is incorporated in the speaker or to the choice of materials. I am sure of the latter, because the speaker is completely made of plastic. that makes it feel slightly less premium than, for example, a Heos speaker.
operation and setup Setup is easy. Especially if you are already familiar with the benefits of Chromecast and the Google Home App, this is a breeze. you turn it on, hold the play button and it goes into pairing mode. The App then tells you what to do and within 10 minutes your Playlist is up and running. Bluetooth works well and can be activated by pressing the bluetooth button. After pairing your speaker with the App, you can now use your phone to control the speaker. Although you can still control the speaker manually with the buttons on the top. Handy for when you get a call and you can't go back to the Google Home App. Spotify Connect also works properly. The connection is almost always stable (but this can also be due to your Wi-Fi network at home) unlike other multi-room solutions I've tried.
Sound quality This was the part I had my doubts about. Other products from JBL such as the Flip 3, Xtreme and the like never really stood out in terms of quality because of a focus on low tones and high frequencies. However, with the Playlist this is almost completely eliminated and I have the idea that the low tones could get a little more boost. For this price, the sound is excellent and I am very satisfied. The high tones are not emphatically present, a nice full sound comes out. At full volume, the speaker can distort a bit, but you won't reach this level often as the speaker can be quite loud, more than enough for my 30m2 living room in any case.
conclusion do you not want to spend thousands on a multi-room system, or do you just want to taste the advantages of multi-room and WiFi speakers, but do you just want good quality without too much hassle. Then the Playlist is for you. If you want real hi-fi sound, then look further.
