The Link Music delivers it all with spacious 360° sound.
Wireless streaming options
With the JBL Link Music you've got choices. The speaker wirelessly connects with your home Wi-Fi network for access to internet-based music sources. You can also stream directly to the Link Music from your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. And if you use an Apple iPhone® or iPad®, you can stream music via AirPlay 2, and use Siri to control playback from Apple Music.
Google Home app
Initial setup is done through the free Google Home app, available from the Apple App store and Google Play. The speaker has Google Chromecast built-in. That means you can link it with other Google Chromecast devices in your home for multi-room audio.
Quality sound and design
The JBL Link Music features a down-firing full-range driver powered by a 20-watt amplifier, with side-firing passive radiators to reinforce the bass. The speaker's woven cloth cover gives it an eye-catching appearance. And its small footprint — less than 4-1/2" in diameter — lets you place it just about anywhere in a room.
