Cuts audio short

I use this with Garmin Ride with GPS and all if the audio starts late. The first word or two is not transmitted and when you are using it for turn by turn directions, it matters.

We're here to help with your JBL Clip 5. Please restart your Bluetooth connection, make sure that your source device and JBL Clip 5 are within the Bluetooth range of 10m, if you’re using an equalizer, set it back to default settings. Some equalizers can cause sound distortion or static in speakers. If you need more help, please contact our customer support.

The clip 4 is better than the clip 5

I bought a clip 4 about 6 months ago and thought it was a great little Bluetooth speaker. Then after reading about the bigger clip 5 being a little better with bass or louder I decided to buy the clip 5. But to be honest I was disappointed with the clip 5 The clip 4 is actually the better speaker ! At least to my ears

Not Cheap, But Worth Every Penny! :)

The most practical, portable, aesthetically pleasing speaker i've seen. Love! As an autism behavioural therapist, the durability really comes in handy. Its volume can be adjusted to be very high considering its size. And the fact, you can clip it onto tons of different areas due to its design. Plus, as a trans person, I love the pink/blue color.

SMALL COMPACT SPEAKER WITH A BIG PUNCH!
on April 18, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Clip 5 is a truly amazing small compact speaker with a big punch. The JBL Clip 5 connected very easily via bluetooth and using the JBL portable app, you can now customize your EQ and connect multi-speakers. The sound is very clear with a balanced highs and a nice punchy bass. It has an IP67 waterproof rating, and I have used it in the shower. I can honestly say it's waterproof. I like the big clip on it, so it hooks securely to my backpack. The the power and controls are easy to push. JBL has gone another level with this small compact speaker. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'll give it a 9 rating for sound, convenience, and portability.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Small Speaker Packs A Powerful Punch
on April 26, 2024

from Detroit, MI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks can definitely be deceiving!! This small speaker has tremendous range and remains clear and crisp at high levels with a good bass sound and treble. It is easy to use and simple with the big buttons on the side and front and it pairs seamlessly with devices. It is stylish and even lightweight for its small size and it seems like the battery lasts for ever. And with an IP67 rating you can throw it in the pool no problem. Truly a great all round speaker for any setting or occasion on the go just clip it and go!!!

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!
I would recommend this to a friend!

High Five for the Clip 5! !
on April 17, 2024

[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!!!!
