Tiny and Fierce!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! The first word that comes to mind when I cracked open the new JBL Clip 5 from Harman. How can all that sound come from such a small package?!? Let me explain...
The new and revised Clip 5 offering from JBL offers many upgrades from previous models including better battery life, connectivity, and a larger/durable 'clip' (carabiner) opening to accommodate more areas in which to use this roughly 6x4x2 inch speaker!
The sound is potent with punchy bass emitting from a frequency range of 95hz-20Khz. The sound is nothing short of astounding but also lives up the the JBL reputation of bigger isn't always better. The small palm-of-your-hand sized frame (which is dust and WATER proof) is rugged and can take abuse from most any outdoor activity in which it is used.
Battery life is up to 12hrs with an additional 3hrs of playtime when you turn Playtime Boost (in the JBL Portable App) to the off setting... all this with just a minimal 3 hour charge time from a supplied USB-A to USB-C connecting cable. The cable is short but does the trick and you must supply a wall USB-A compatible charging block yourself.
The speaker is able to be connected to other JBL Portable devices thru AuraCast and the JBL app for a complete party on the go.. whether you're fishing, swimming, beaching, off-roading, partying, or just relaxing.. it just works! I did have trouble when first trying to connect the speaker to the JBL Portable App but soon discovered a quick update of the App fixed all connectivity issues.
The Clip 5 does come in a variety of colors but whatever the color... this thing just ROCKS! The main use I have for the speaker is in my shower. My mornings are started with a bang from this potent little monster! Well worth every penny just as other JBL speakers I have in my collection. The JBL/Harman name is simply synonymous with quality sound and craftsmanship!
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

Powerful little speaker for on the go

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For it's size, this speaker is really powerful and portable. It has a companion app that allows you to set different equalization settings which is a fantastic feature if you prefer to dial in your sound for your space. On device buttons and USB-C charging is a plus. It is slightly heavier than I was expecting but I will take it if this is the sound I get.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Jbl clip is surprisingly awesome, I was not expecting its compact size to have such great sound quality. I used it at the park to hang out and everyone was impressed at how clear and loud it was.

Hiking partner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bigger and heavier than my old JBL Micro Wireless,(still working good), but more powerful and better sound. Old one is cute and but new one is not a cute or stylish (looks like a hand grenade) but very useful press stud.

Compact but powerful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL has done it again with the Clip 5. It is a small but mighty powerhouse that punches above its proverbial weight class. Connecting it via bluetooth was super easy as was connecting it to another speaker with the Multi-Speaker connection button. The Clip 5 has super high quality sound and is LOUD. I like how rugged it is, it would make the perfect travel companion. And the rubber on the back side of the speaker keep it from sliding around when not clipped to something.

Large Sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Right off the bat, the soundstage from this relatively small speaker is very impressive. Without looking at it, you wouldn’t expect such a small speaker to sound this amazing. The bass is very punchy and the highs and mids have a good presence but are not overpowering.
Being the 5th version of the Clip speaker, the build quality has come a long way. From the long battery life, to the structure of the speaker being strong you definitely feel confident bringing this wherever you are going.
The clip on the top of the speaker is larger than before allowing you to hook it onto a lot of things.
The presentation of the packaging is also nice, simple, eco friendly with no plastics. Overall this speaker packs a punch and is great to bring with you wherever you go!

Stylish, powerful sound you can easily carry

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a fun, easy to travel, powerful sounding little speaker. The carabiner clip opens easily and closes securely. It fits easily on a backpack, purse, or pant loop. The speaker is light, probably about 1 pounds. Inside the box you will find the speaker and charging cord. Bluetooth pairing works easily, button on the side, volume, pause, play on the front of speaker. There is also a multi-speaker button to connect multiple speakers. I have used it most often in the garage while working out attached to my bag. The speaker provides great sound quality that is balanced. I think it lives up to the 12 hour battery life in between charges. I have taken it in walks with a friend - attached to my fanny pack. I like that I can control the volume easily. I have gotten compliments on the small size and stylish look with great sound. Perfect gift for my on-the-go college aged and high school kids.
