Rugged and Portable with Amazing Sound Quality
on May 3, 2024
Posted by: Jake MTB
from Orange County, CA
[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

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.

Everyone in the family needs to have one.

These Clip-5 speakers offer perfect clarity. We listen to story-tapes with some 3.5 headphone hole to Bluetooth converter in the back of an old CD player. My wife has a purple Clip-5 and I have a Halloween one, (Black and Orange). This way we can do our own volume. They charge quickly and play a long time. Also, you can walk in another room and keep listening to the story. A must have for story-tape listeners.
