JBL - Clip 3

2 Soundcore Boom 2, 1 Tribit Xsound Plus 2, 2 Jeecoo M30 desktop speakers and 1 JBL Clip 3.

Hi, A quick update to the above. So I have just completed another round of reviews of mini Bluetooth speakers, supporting the Requiremints speakers team. Well, to make long story short, these are the best options for skiing and snowboarding to my opinion (weight - under 10 ounces), and you can read a bit more in [this page](https://requiremints.com/guide/best-bluetooth-speakers-skiing-&-snowboarding/): 1. **JBL Clip 5** \- A new model for this successful family of mini speakers, with improved sound. It will cost you about $80, but it is rugged, waterproof and have a great sound for its size and weight. The clip it has is super helpful, tough if you are doing an extreme skiing and snowboarding, I would tie it with an addition small wire for a backup. 2. **JBL Clip 4** \- Because the Clip 5 is out, you can find it with a reduced costs ($50) - it is still a great value for money and the sound is excellent. 3. **Sony SRS-XB100** \- Another excellent mini Bluetooth with a great sound, very popular. It is waterproof and come with a strap to tie it to your bag. It is a great option in case you want to use it also in other activitis. If you are really on a budget, the Clip 3 may be a good option (a bit old but can do the work if you dont want to invest). Hope this helps, please let me know what you think, comment and advise other options. Good luck

I just bought the JBL clip 5 yesterday and come to realize how disappointing it is. I previously owned a JBL clip 3 and it was amazing. The battery life at max volume lasted a lot longer than the clip 5 at max volume. I had two clip 3's and they all lasted 8 - 10 hrs at max or near max volume for almost 2 yrs. The clip 5 I have at max volume lasted only 6 hrs. I had it in my mind that . . . "12 hrs, that's 2 hrs better than a clip 3!" I read that it can last 12 hrs but only at very low volumes. But to me that defeats the whole purpose! Also I didn't like the huge bass boost, but I believe there's an EQ adjustment on an app, so that's an easy fix. So now I like to ask is there a better mini Bluetooth speaker that is small and can be carried around by a belt loop? I work physical labor 10 hr shifts, so a longer lasting battery would be nice.

I love the JBL Clip 3. I have my tunes and podcasts, and can hear a dog running up on me. I try to make sure my playlist is clean in case someone hears it. Kinda hard when I’m listening to From A To Arbitration, though. :)

JBL clip ranges from $30-50. it’s waterproof and produces great quality audio.

I also have ADHD and listen to a speaker basically the whole time I'm carrying. I'm pretty sure it's allowed, at least no one's ever said a word about it. Search "jbl clip" on Amazon... it's a waterproof bluetooth speaker designed for listening in the shower but it will clip right on to your satchel ring. I've been using it for over a year now, works great with no issues. Also check out Audible if you haven't already... lots of good books go on sale every month for $5-8
