JBL - Clip 5

Gen 3 B&O is out now but, I'm still rocking the 2nd Gen for potable great sound, and it's good enough for under $140 on Amazon renewed, and I'm using my JBL Partybox Club 120 for my whole home theater setup in my Den connected to my JBL Clip 5, and a JBL Go 4 linked in Auracast and it works well all together!

I recently got the JBL Clip 5, noticeably better then my Klein AEPJS2. Depending on the site, the M12 comes out though. The AEPJS3 and M18 Bluetooth Jobsite Speaker stay at home, I definitely have a speaker collecting problem lol. If the whole gang is cool, the 2 speakers above can be linked with others.

I avoid click-bait titles, but having spent a lot of time with the newer Clip 5 and Go 4 from JBL, I was honestly shocked by how well the Select 4 Go performs comparatively, given its $29 price point. Build quality falls a little short of JBL, and the multi-speaker pairing isn't quite as extensive, but still - I've tested a fair amount of speakers, and I'd have a hard time recommending something else for a budget-focused buyer looking for something like the Go 4.

The JBL Clip 5 would be perfect for extreme sports. It’s compact, rugged, and waterproof with an IPX7 rating, so it’s built to handle harsh outdoor environments. Plus, it has a carabiner that makes it easy to clip onto your gear while you're out on the slopes.

Absolutely! The JBL Clip 5 is built to withstand tough conditions. It’s not only waterproof but also dustproof, making it resistant to the elements. It’s rugged enough to survive drops and rough handling, which is ideal for active adventures

Yes, despite its compact design, the JBL Clip 5 delivers excellent sound with punchy bass. It's engineered for high quality audio, ensuring your music sounds great no matter where you are, even in outdoor environments.

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

The JBL Clip 5 is an upgrade over the Clip 4 with better sound, deeper bass, and a longer 10-hour battery life. It also charges faster with USB-C. Both are waterproof and durable, but the Clip 5 has a bigger clip, while the Clip 4 is more compact and portable. So the Clip 5 is better, it costs also more (about $30 more). So if you really love music, probably the Clip 5 worth the investment, if you want something good in a better price (also if it lost, it is not that an issue :), go with the clip 4. Makes sense?

That's a very popular question these days:) So the JBL Clip 5 improves on the Clip 4 in these main factors: * **Durability**: The Clip 5 has thicker silicone padding on the back, making it tougher than the Clip 4, which had thinner strips that some users said peeled off over time. * **Sound**: It’s louder and clearer with 7 watts of power vs. 5 watts in the Clip 4. Plus, you can customize the sound with a 5-band EQ in the JBL Portable app, which the Clip 4 doesn’t support. * **Battery Life**: The Clip 5 lasts up to 12 hours, slightly longer than the Clip 4’s 10 hours. * **Connectivity**: The Clip 5 uses Bluetooth 5.3, offering better range and reliability than the Clip 4’s Bluetooth 5.1. For a small price difference, the Clip 5 is worth the upgrade - at least to my opinion.

I'm also trying to figure out which one to pick but it seems that no one responded LOL. I watched a review for the kilo and they said it's pretty good but it depends on the genre of music. it said for simple things it's able to play well but if you were to listen to metal or rock the melodies and the instruments would get confused and it might sound jumbled. so I'm trying to figure out if the clip 5 does that at all. because if it does then I'm just going to go with the kilo

i did get the kilo and it's honestly not the best. i love the battery life. lasts for days but the sound quality isn't good. especially if there's songs with quieter notes, you can't hear it. wish I would've gotten the JBL clip 😔

Charge has more bass. Flip is lighter more portable. One of my favorite speaker of all time is the JBL Clip 4. But the 5 is better because the power button doesn’t get hit by accident like the 4. Smaller speaker but it sounds great and extremely portable and great battery life.

I would definitely return it. I'm on my first foray into bluetooth speakers and got the JBL Clip 5 cause it was on sale at Microcenter, but the sound got distorted a lot and was terrible. Heard about the Costco sale and went in yesterday, I am beyond happy with the sound and quality the Soundcore Boom V2 has. The bass for such a small speaker is amazing. I haven't pushed it to 100% yet to see if it sounds terrible.

Love my stereo Clip 5s in the bathroom

I meant the JBL clip 5 for example is 7w at a smaller size, JBL is a reputable company. I know many false speakers claim crap. But I stick by JBL I have many of there products

The clip 5 is 7w and the 4 is a older model with a 5W same power as many others,
