Overview

A bookshelf speaker from JBL with a 4.5 inch driver, Bluetooth connectivity and shelf mounting, finished in a Latte colorway. Model JBL245CWHT, weighing 12 lb.

JBL lists this as a bookshelf-type speaker meant for shelf mounting rather than a floor-standing or in-wall design, with Bluetooth handling the wireless connection to a source. The Latte color option sets it apart from the black or white finishes more commonly seen in this speaker class.

  • 4.5 inch driver, bookshelf design
  • Bluetooth connectivity
  • Shelf mounting
  • Latte color finish

Who it's for

Fits anyone furnishing a room where the speaker sits visibly on a shelf and color coordination matters, paired with a Bluetooth source. Not the choice for a listener wanting a wired, high-power tower speaker or in-ceiling install.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Bluetooth wireless connectivity
  • Distinct Latte color finish
  • Compact 12 lb, shelf-mount design
Cons
  • 4.5 inch driver is small for room-filling volume
  • No wired input listed as an alternative to Bluetooth

Performance notes

The 4.5 inch driver puts this in the compact end of the bookshelf speaker range, suited to nearfield listening in a bedroom, office or small living space rather than filling a large room. Bluetooth handles source connection without a cable run to the shelf.
