Love it!
I just received mine and I was eager to try it out. I am surprised at the sound quality. Sounds so much better than my cellphone speaker. I brought this for me (adult) to use when I go roller skating or to the beach. I think I'll be using it around the house too while the phone charges. You still have to control the music from your phone or device but I really like this. I like that I can strap it to my mini book bag while I skate and still pay attention to what goes on around me. It also has lights, volume control and an on/off button.
It's better than I thought it would be. I love it!

A great visual-sound entertainment!
As we are getting off the car to go walk on the beach we notice the JBL jr strapped to my brother's bookbag. They walked the entire hour singing to their YouTube kid songs as the light kept them entertained from time to time. Great design, colorful and loud enough to entertain the whole family with their dance. A perfect companion for my 3 year old brother and 5 year old cousin.

Very Cool Speaker For Kids.
I had this speaker for a few days and my 8 year old is really enjoying it.
It's cute design and features make it a great for kids in that age group. It's waterproof design is a big plus, and it's color changing light-up feature is definitely very cool (Which btw can be turned off). Bluetooth connection went effortlessly and I was not expecting a speaker this to get as loud as it does.
One small issue I had (which isn't specific to his product) is that when the speaker is underwater the music sounds very distorted, and it will be so even after it's out've the water, until the water drains out and dries up. Other than that there's nothing else I'd complain about.

A great little speaker, but not quite perfect.
I got this speaker as part of JBL's Backstage Pass program a few days ago and so far I like it. It's small, has good sound, and has some features that are good for kids. The light is kinda cool, and the strap is perfect for hanging the speaker from all sorts of kid's stuff. I haven't measured battery life yet, but I would expect it to be quite good. The only downsides to it that I've noticed so far are the lack of an aux input and the lack of a play/pause button. I play some of my son's audio from my Sansa Clip+ through an aux cable, but that's not possible here. And when I use a bluetooth speaker with my phone, I like to be able to play/pause from the speaker. I don't think either of these matter for a kid's speaker though, so this will do the trick on that end. Overall, quite a nice little speaker for kids, if you can live with a couple small things missing.

Great Sound Quality
The JBL JR POP is a fun little bluetooth speaker that lights up and can be attached to a belt loop or backpack with a snap button. I found it useful to hang on something outside while the kids played and it worked well too. The button is secure and you don't have to worry about it snapping off of whatever you attach it to. The sound quality is great and the kids enjoyed the fun color and flashing lights. It is made of heavy duty plastic that will withstand drops from active kids. We did not test this out by submerging in water but it sounded fine and there were no adverse affects when it was splashed with water.
I received the JBL JR Pop in return for an honest review.

Awesome for your little rock star!
Our 3 year old son loves this speaker. He takes it into the bath with him, dances around the house with it, and keeps it with his "real things" (i.e. grown-up items, like an old Blackberry that he plays with.) He already loves music, so has gotten a lot of milage out of his POP already. JBL built it nice and tough so despite his best efforts, he won't be able to destroy it! As parents we appreciate the fact that the volume level has been kept at hearing safe levels, so when he sticks it up to his ear he isn't doing harm. All around great product that we will use for years to come!

Amazing sound
I didn’t expect the quality of the sound coming from a small device to be so good! I’m definitely impressed and have joined the JBL family for life!

Ummm. It’s colorful.
Bought this for the skate crew. Everyone got one actually. The volume is very low. Not ideal for groups of people. They speakers don’t connect to eachother like we thought. Mine doesn’t hold a battery very long either. But. It does work. So. Great for that.

Great features in a compact package!
My 10 year old son has been using this for a couple weeks now and he loves it. His main use-case is moving around with his iPad and playing video games and using this speaker as his output audio device. Quite convenient for him to carry around, and the light show that it provides is quite futuristic and actually practical, such as when he's riding his bike in the night he is able to listen to his music as well as be clearly visible for nearby drivers. His sister has the JBL Clip and he likes this one because of the cool lights. He thinks the sound is great and louder than he expected. The strap is super useful allowing the speaker to be attached to a variety of surfaces (such as a bike handle or shower bar). Overall great speaker.

Love Love Love
I brought this for my triplets to hang on their stroller when we take afternoon walks. I love it so much. It has a great sound to be so little and my girls (17 months old) love the lights. I must admit I love the lights also, they are so pretty. I think I use this speaker in the house more than on their stroller. I wish I would have brought myself one and I have 8 Bluetooth speakers already but love this one.

Super Fun!
Bought this for the speaker to use out by the firepit at night. It's fun and fabulous with the lights which also help to keep it from getting lost. If I'm using other times, it is very convenient to turn the light off. It's small and convenient to use with the strap being able to attach to clothes, packs and purses I've tried so far and the size doesn't affect the JBL's awesome loud crisp speaker sound.

My son loves this!
We purchased this because my 3 year old is constantly stealing our speakers to listen to music. Of course we have to set it up for him, but he carries this thing around like it's gods gift to Earth. We strap it on his stroller wagon when going to the park and it has help up wonderfully to the weather and getting beaten around in the back of my car while traveling.
He absolutely loves the lights, it's light weight, it's easy to clip on and off, very durable, waterproof, floats, has great sound quality, is easy to pair up - what else could you want?
Like other reviewers mentioned, I would like a play/pause button, but we can live without it.
I would highly recommend this if you're in the market for an affordable, quality, durable speaker.

Fun Little Speaker!
We've been using this little speaker for a couple of weeks now.
It is very easy to pair up with our android phones first off, so that's nice.
We've used it for music while the kids are in the tub, we use it for music in the shower in the morning, and have used it for bedtime soothing music.
The color changing light show can be turned on for "dance party mode" as our kids call it, or turned off if you just want music.
Its nice not having to worry about water getting splashed on it from the tub or shower. The sound isn't huge, but it is pretty impressive for a speaker the size of a hockey puck.
We haven't had to charge the battery yet listening to it for a half hour or so about every other day, so I'd say the battery life is also pretty good for it's size.

Great speaker and durable too!
Bought this fir my son who has special needs. He loves music and loves to hold this speaker in his hands and listen to music on Spotify. Sound quality is great and it’s durable after being thrown a couple times. This makes a great gift for kids!!! I bought a second one to leave at school. They use it to motivate him during physical therapy!

ChildProof
I would recommend it to someone with our without kids. It certainly stands up to the rough nature of a kid and offers a low price option in an ever growing speaker market. Having good durability and above average sound are the key features in a travel speaker. This speaker tackles all of the above with additional flare. I allowed 7 Days for both myself and Daughter to use this product before leaving this review. I will list the Pros and Cons from both our views to humor you!
Adult Pros:
Good sound below 75% volume
Cool Color housing
Lights to music interesting
Durable for both Waterproofing/Dropping
Good battery life
Favorite is the snap strap to hang it on things/ better than clip
Kid Pros:
"I can use this for bath time?!?"
*Drops it 14 times in one day...Keeps on playing
"Look at the pretty lights."
Adult Cons:
Uses Micro Usb instead of USB C
Sound over 75% gets very muddy
Kid Cons:
"its not working" (Battery died/Impatiently waited for it to recharge)

Not just for kids
Got this for my music loving, always singing, three year old. She absolutely loves it and takes it everywhere. Her dad is a cyclist and will be purchasing another one for when he rides. He rides at night so the lights help so that he could be seen by drivers and he could turn off the lights if he wants too. Great sound, sturdy, not great once water touches the face of it though, you can’t really hear anything once it goes into water. You’ll have to blow the water away from the speaker for it to sound clear again.

Excellent
This little speaker is a beast. I bought it to take surfing with me so I could connect it to my fitbit and listen to music while I wait for waves. I have taken it out on five different occasions now. Been absolutely slapped around by wind, sand, and water, and this little guy does not care. Perfect performance throughout. My only note is that water does tend to get caught in the mesh cover and reduce sound quality, but a quick blow-off and it’s right back as if nothing happened. Best $25 I’ve spent in a while.

Great for kids!
The JBL JR POP is the perfect portable speaker for kids. My daughter had a very easy time figuring out how to connect by Bluetooth, power on and off, turn the lights on, and unclip the strap to hang it anywhere. The sound is amazing! Lights are very pretty and fun! The product is super light weight so easy to take along on a backpack, bike, or just holding it. Great durability when it is accidentally dropped. The package was very easy to open. Charging is a breeze. Speaker does go for hours! Love this product!

Perfect product
I received this product to test and i must confess I have concerns about returning it. My little one has taken to the product instantly. Volume level is finely balanced. Not too loud. The lights around the speaker also add to the attraction. He takes it everywhere and hangs it anywhere he can. The design is also very practical and sturdy at the same time stylish I might have to get him a Spotify account now. A truly amazing product

Big sound that doesn’t break the bank
I was looking for a small portable Bluetooth speaker. I looked at the JBL Clip and ultimately went with this one. The clip was $70 compared to the $25 dollar price tag for JBL Jr Pop. The Jr Pop offers the great sound you’d expect from the JBL brand with added benefit of being durable enough to handle all a kid could throw at it. Also the strap makes it easy to attach to almost anything! Did I mention the $25 price tag??? Will definitely be picking up another one for this forty something kid at heart!

Super fun and neat!
I received this item as part of the JBL Backstage pass program. I wanted to take the time to use it before writing a review. I’ve taken this product to the beach and the pool. JBL has outdone themselves again with the quality in sound. The JR Pop gets pretty darn loud!! The only thing it’s really missing is the bass. I have a JBL Flip and love my bass. However, this item is intended for kids, so it’s fine without. My favorite feature is the LED lights. It makes this item very neat and fun, but also serves a purpose if you are wearing it an night time for better visibility. Also, this item is waterproof, so I put it to the test and threw it in the pool. The speaker didn’t play while wet, but it’s definitely waterproof! It’s also buoyant, which is awesome! It just floated in the pool. Very cool, JBL!! As far as I can tell, this is a great item for kids. Thank you JBL for allowing me to be a part of the Backstage pass program. I love my JBL speakers!!! P.S. JBL has great customer service. I’ve had to call the regarding previous purchases and they were fantastic.

Kid loves it, Practical and durable.Great Value !
My son has been using this for over a week now and absolutely loves it. its very practical and he can attach it to his bike and bag and the ligthing effect really helps him stand out among his friends. i like that its waterproof so he can take it to the pool. its also made to last and can take common kid accidents and it has already survived a few drops in the house. we also like the rubberized exterior which makes it easy to maintain as we jsut wipe it with a wet cloth and its like new again!

Better then I thought !
My husband bought this for our son. The sound quality is amazing and loud for this little speaker ! I bought myself one and my husband got himself one. We clip them to our kayaks when we are out kayaking ! My son loves it he is 8 years old. He also likes to bring it with him in the yard when he goes swimming and brings it with him on his bike. Did I mention the sound quality is amazing ! You won’t regret buying it. Like I said we bought 3. It also makes a great gift or stocking stuffer.
