Great portable speaker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is exactly what I needed for work. I go from room to room and want the music to stay contstant. The clip is easy to put on or taking off. The bass is a little heavy against the body but not too much of a distraction. The sound is of good quality and clarity at all volumes. It's light weight but durable. I dropped it a good 4+ft accidentally and it held up just fine. Buttons are easy to use and bluetooth connects fast and easily. Highly recommend!

Great little speaker, big sound in small package

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great little speaker. It really puts out a lot of sound, and even impressed me how much bass it could make for its size. The design is really smart, not just having the built-in clip, but also having isolators on the back so it can sit on a counter or table, and also the ability to stereo and multi-speaker pairing. But it is also a great upgrade from the Clip 4. The size is roughly the same but it has 2hrs more in battery life along with 3 hour playtime boost. It also has Bluetooth V5.3. But another thing I really appreciated about it is the new packaging - while still premium and organized packaging (maybe not quite as good looking) - its smaller and made from all sustainable materials. Applause to Harman for considering this - using less space (i.e. less shipments) and also fully recyclable materials.

That crisp sound you expect from JBL in small form

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive used this lil beast in the shower hanging off my showerhead to jam out, clip it onto my reusable bags while running errands, and my bike and its a strong hook. Speaker packs a punch and gets loud if you want it to and the app makes EQ a breeze which is nice when you wanna listen to music late night with less bass to not disturb others trying to sleep. The classic jbl signature is usally what I keep it at but I mess around w the dials when listening to hip hop for more boom. I like that it shows battery life when using the app and I wish that there was a widget for the speaker on android that shows battery life consistently so maybe that can get added in the portable app in the near future. I give it 5 stars and recommend it to my uncles that works construction cause they can clip it onto their pouches at work.

A great portable speaker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Provides great sound using the preset equalizer settings. It is waterproof IP67 so great to clip on the shower rings. It has a Playtime Boost setting for more sound and longer playing time but the equalizer doesnt work with that turned on. To me when I turned on the Playtime Boost it sounded tinny. You can connect to other compatible speakers but you need to make sure they are compatible. The Clip 5 doesn't connect to my Clip 4. The battery life has increased from 10-12 hours from the Clip 4 to the Clip 5.

The perfect “on-the-go” speaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are constantly on the move and would like some music aside from annoying headphones then this is the perfect speaker for you. And trust me when i tell you, this little speaker packs a PUNCH! I clip it right onto my backpack and i take it everywhere. Bring it to work, take it to a park or field, even just listening to music in your room this speaker is perfect. Its definitely loud and has some solid bass for something so small. Overall extremely happy with this speaker

High Five for the Clip 5! !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been a fan of JBL's small speaker line up since our purchase of the JBL Micro Wireless. Beach, pool, biking, chiliin, travel , and in shower singing, (Door closed, water running, of course), these tiny monsters are constant companions.
After 12 plus hours of break in, it was time to take the newest monster for a test spin. What? Turned it on and walked into another room and I had to stop and listen. The Clip sounded official. With the app set for JBL signature, fidelity is what struck me the most regardless of the music genre I threw at it. Don't get me wrong. This is not a super duper audiophile device but for the size and the volume that the Clip 5 produced it drew me in and had my ears dancing. As the old commercial use to say, "you've come a long way baby."
The cleaver clip makes this super portable and the reliability of the wireless connection is outstanding! BTW I hooked up two separate sources with ease. Switching back and fourth is no longer a headache.
JBL is one manufacture that with their secret sauce keeps innovating and releasing products that increases the enjoyment of anything audio.
What's next? Can't wait!!!!

Small Package - Big Sound
on April 17, 2024
Posted by: AZJuice
from Surprise, AZ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before even opening the box the first thing that came to mind was that this was heavier than expected. The design and controls are simple but elegant as far as portable Bluetooth speakers go, This device utilizes USB-C charging and the control buttons are large and easy to navigate. The Clip5 was easily paired up and immediately got attached to my back pack for the following days hike. The battery life was still way over half after 6 hours of use listening to a streaming service at a respectable volume. I found for my taste the best volume level was no higher that 70%. To me that sounded the best. At max volume the different sound levels are a wash and it not enjoyable. The device is pairable to other JBL devices that are compatible with that feature to create a group. Also you can use the JBL portable app to use any of the preset equalizers configs or even create your own custom EQ for your listening taste. The Clip itself is strong and study. The buttons on the front and side feel good. The texture of the exterior feels like quality. The back has grip texture so it doesn't slide on inclined surfaces. The only negatives I can find on this device is lack of ability to stand the device up or at the least on its side. But placing the device on its back still fills my little office well enough to be enjoyable. Overall its a great value!

Big sound, versatile little speaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like how JBL upped the functionality of this smaller speaker. Previous small speakers wouldn't have extra functions like skip ahead a song, or back a song. This one does. Previous speakers would basically just have play/pause and volume. It's nice to have that if you would use this as like a shower speaker or something and don't want your phone in with you. It is rated as water proof to a degree, 30 minutes at a meter, so a shower is fine. It has a nice heavy feel and you can tell with the sound, suprisingly loud and good bass sound. I also like that you can now pair it to other speakers in it's class, creating a stereo sound. I might have to get another one to make use of that option. Really sharp look. The clip is heavy duty enough that I'm not worried about it breaking or not holding up. There's a JBL Portable app for controlling the sound EQ which is nice. They have a "playtime boost" mode where it's louder, and also saves battery which it does at the expense of the EQ sound. So that mode sounds a little tinny, but it's definitely louder and would maybe be good for podcast listening or audio books where you want a little more volume. The back has padded grips so you can set it on it's back and it won't wreck the finish or anything like that.
