I decided to give the Clip 5 a try, and I was really surprised with the quality of sound. Very satisfied with the performance at a reasonable price, and what really sold me on the Clip 5 is the fact that you can pair it with other comparable JBL speakers.Just a suggestion! Come out with a Clip 6 just a little louder and a little more brassy. That would be great and a 5 star across the board… Great product just the same.👍
Already reviewed but received a reply from JBL that I would need to download the JBL app and connect through the required steps for stereo sound to work. I guess I didn’t explain clearly that I already did that and still want blown away with the stereo sound off two Clip 5’s. There isn’t a respond tab to answer or reply back to JBL, so have to do it through another review.

Thanks for your feedback and for trying the troubleshooting steps we provided. We appreciate your input and we'll make sure to forward it to the appropriate team.
I bought another one of these and was fairly impressed with the sound quality and size of the speaker. I was enticed with the idea that you could pair two of them and get stereo sound, so I went ahead and ordered this one. The size of the room could add into some of the poorer stereo sound , not sure but thought I should add that in. I have them set about 20' apart in my 25' x 36'L garage, and I seem to lose some of the stereo effect. I haven't tried playing around with the JBL app on my phone to see if the equalizer will make any difference, but this was my initial thoughts, I was hoping to be blown away with my new speakers and can't say that I am.

Thanks for your feedback. Connecting two JBL Clip 5 speakers without the app will only allow for party mode, which produces mono sound. To activate stereo mode, please download the JBL Portable app, connect the first speaker, select "Create Stereo Mode," and then connect the second speaker.
I haven’t given it to my daughter yet so not sure how it works, but I can’t get over how perfect it looks! She is going to love it! Thank you so much for making this possible. This personalization of the speaker is amazing!
I use it for golf and it’s perfect for that. I have a couple of JBL Bluetooth speakers and love all of them. I like how I can connect all of the together.
I really expected a better sound for the price, I had a charge 4, I think I will leave for the 5, I had bought this one just because it was more pocket-sized, to take it for a walk or something like that, I would not recommend it for its bad basses.

Thanks for your feedback. To address the bass sound, we suggest adjusting the EQ settings in the JBL Portable app. This may help you achieve your desired sound.
I made this purchase a month ago and I am glad I did. This is made of great quality and the sound is awesome. I didn’t believe a unit this small could put out sound like that!
