Great speaker but the charging cable is inadequate

I enjoy using the JBL Clip 5 and it works great. I am giving it a four star rating because it came with a very short usb-a to usb-c charging cable. It would so much better if the cable was usb-c to usb-c.

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
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good speaker with unique ability to hang in places

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice product with a cool feature; I love the hook and the ability to place the speaker in unique places. The sound is great, better than some bigger speakers. I do wish there was an improvement regarding connecting to the device; I wish there was something to indicate the speaker was on, in pairing mode, and connected.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Rugged and Portable with Amazing Sound Quality
on May 3, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a project manager working both from the home and at the office, I needed a blue tooth speaker that was both compact and portable. But, I also needed it to be compact enough to fit into a messenger bag pocket without crowding my electronic devices.
The Clip 5 not only suits that purpose but also as shown in this image takes up absolutely no space on my desk in my home office by securely clipping onto the desk lamp. At the office it clips conveniently onto an adjustable monitor arm, inconspicuously serving as the computer speaker that really isn’t.
The build quality is outstanding for being a Bluetooth speaker unabashedly minimalist in its aesthetics. The iconic carabiner appendage ie the “clip” that is practically synonymous with the JBL Clip series befits the rugged overall feel and functionality of the Clip 5. Especially given its IP67 water and dust resistance along with its beefy control buttons, it would be perfectly sufficient attached to my camelbak on deep hikes as it would attached to my work stand in the garage.
After giving it a few hours to break in the sound took me by surprise with its distinctly spacious presence that left me wondering if the conventional multi-speaker desktop audio arrangement is now rendered antiquated.
And while its simplicity would seem almost one-dimensional, this turned out be strictly as a result of many of its appealing features of versatility and flexibility being available through the JBL portable device app. Through the app I was able to dial in the EQ and power consumption settings for my listening and usage preferences. Speaking of connectivity the Bluetooth 5.3 synchs up with all my devices effortlessly and without difficulties maintaining the connection.
With the USB-C charging port and 12 hours of battery life to which I can personally attest, this has been a productivity-enhancing sweet spot combination of listening enjoyment and portability.

Worth upgrading from the 4th
on June 19, 2024
Posted by: Delong02
I’ve had the I’ll clip 4 for about 2 years of max to 3/4 volume 5 days a week and it has handled it great, the speaker began to get scratchy not to long ago so when I saw the 5th edition I had to get it, hands down louder than the 4th if that’s what your looking for and better sound quality while it’s doing it, I plan to put this on through the ringer but so far it sounds amazing.

Awesome sound! Perfect for biking. I like that I can pair 2 together for stero sound. I like the clip 4, but these clip 5's are are really nice.
