Govee Table Lamp 2 Pro x Sound by JBL Review: Smart Lamp and Bluetooth Speaker Combo

Elevate your room’s vibe with the Govee Table Lamp 2 Pro x Sound by JBL—a smart lamp that doubles as a Bluetooth speaker for immersive light and sound.

Instant Atmosphere Changes with Govee’s Smart Lamp and JBL Sound

If you’re anything like me—a fan of mixing mood lighting with killer sound—you'll appreciate the Govee Table Lamp 2 Pro x Sound by JBL. This clever gadget pairs a smart lamp with a Bluetooth speaker, offering a convenient way to transform your room’s ambiance in an instant.

Priced at $179.99, it’s a bit of an investment, but it makes sense if you enjoy Govee products and want to save space by combining your lighting and audio setup. Plus, catch it during promotions like the $20 fall discount I spotted, and it feels even more like a steal.

Design and Battery: A Little Bulk for Big Functionality

Having owned two Govee Table Lamp 2 models already, I noticed the Pro x Sound felt a bit bulkier. That’s understandable since it packs a 5200 mAh battery and a built-in speaker, which keep the party going for about 4.5 hours at moderate volume and brightness.

Seamless Setup with a Slight Bluetooth Quirk

Connecting the lamp to Wi-Fi and syncing it with the Govee app was a breeze both at the office and at home. Interestingly, this lamp uses two separate Bluetooth connections—one for lighting controls and another solely for the speaker. This split design is clever because it lets you enjoy music privately via headphones while still basking in the lamp’s light show.

Sometimes, though, it meant I had to manually reconnect the speaker Bluetooth when reentering the room—a minor hassle but understandable given the dual connections.

Lighting Magic: Dual Elements for Dynamic Effects

This lamp's standout feature is its ability to create dazzling light effects thanks to two components: the main lamp body and its specially designed reflective base. Both parts can shine solo or work together, letting you dial up the brightness or tone down the glow for more intimate vibes.

Control is a cinch with the touch panel on top, featuring a power button and four touch-sensitive keys managing volume, playback, and cycling through nine customizable presets.

Voice and App Control: A Playground for Creativity

Personally, my favorite way to operate any Govee device—including this lamp—is through voice commands using my Echo Dot (5th Gen) or the Govee Home app. If you’ve read my previous take on the Govee Neon Rope Light 2, you know I’m a big fan of how intuitive and fun the app is.

Beyond basic controls like power, brightness, and volume, the app offers over 100 preset scenes—everything from ocean waves to cosmic journeys. Plus, it’s a creative playground with a finger-draw feature to splash colors or doodles on a canvas and set them to animate. There’s even an AI-powered effect generator to jazz up your lighting.

A Minor Sound Quirk

One small annoyance was the preset sounds that play automatically with some scenes—they can be a bit intrusive, especially when accidentally triggered via the lamp’s buttons. Thankfully, you can mute these sounds in the app, but only individually, which means a little extra clicking to silence your favorite setups.

Sound Quality: JBL Delivers What You Expect

Sound-wise, the JBL speaker inside does not disappoint. Trebles come through crisp and clear—I could easily pick out the percussion in “Sunny Days” by Kolter. The bass isn’t earth-shaking but carries a nice punch for the price. If you’re not a hardcore audiophile, you’ll likely be pleased with the sound quality.

The “Dynamic Music” feature spices up your listening with fun visual effects like “Grid” and “Pulse,” which my coworkers and I especially enjoyed in the office. While the effects sometimes missed the beat in complex tracks, it's still a playful addition, especially when paired with bass-heavy songs.

Final Thoughts: A Bright Idea with Sound to Match

All told, the Govee Table Lamp 2 Pro x Sound by JBL shines—literally and figuratively—as an impressive lighting solution combined with solid JBL audio. If you already love the Govee Table Lamp 2’s design but want to add music, podcasts, or audiobooks without sacrificing space, this is a smart upgrade.

For those curious about other smart lighting options, there’s a rich world out there to explore that complements what this lamp offers.

Also Consider: Govee Table Lamp 2

If your priority leans more toward smart lighting effects rather than audio quality, the original Govee Table Lamp 2 is worth a look. It offers most of the same lighting features, including presets and voice control, but without the speaker. It’s also quite a bit cheaper at around $100, making it a solid pick for those focused solely on ambiance.
