Missing Features

Quality is decent but there is no headphone jack and the charging cord is ridiculously short.

I was looking for another speaker and found another one! This is my 2nd one. The compact size & sound is key to listening. The battery has long life. Sound quality is great.

Great sound for such a compact device. Love the clip... it's on my backpack so I don't forget to bring it on trips.

Paint proof!
on November 13, 2024
Posted by: Painter228
Convinced this speaker is indestructible!! I work in construction and due to my own negligence, the speaker fell into 3 gallons of paint today. I knew that the speaker was waterproof so with cat reflex I retrieved the speaker, cleaned with a rag, and rushed to the water hose. I rinsed it vigorously and allowed it to dry for 2 hours before testing it out. HOLY COW, the sound is still flawless!! From now on, everyone who knows me will know how incredible JBL is. Thank you!!

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.

Unimpressed Stereo Sound with Two
on December 21, 2025

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.

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!
