JBL Clip

The JBL Clip is a simple, well-designed portable Bluetooth speaker that packs a solid audio punch for its modest size.

Wearable, lightweight design. Small and portable. Relatively powerful, balanced audio output. Built-in audio cable is hardwired, so you'll never lose it.

Flirts with distortion on deep bass tracks at maximum volumes. Charging cable is extremely short. Built-in audio cable is hardwired, so it's useless if it breaks.

If you're looking for booming bass in a portable Bluetooth speaker, you're going to need to spend a lot more money. Consider the Jabra Solemate Mini or the Bose SoundLink Mini, even if they cost four times as much. If it's just portability that you...

JBL Clip: A wearable Bluetooth speaker that sounds good

JBL's updated $50 micro wireless speaker adds a carabiner-style "clip" at the top and speakerphone capabilities.

The JBL Clip Bluetooth speaker is a compact, hockey-puck size speaker that has a built-in lithium ion rechargeable battery and offers decent enough sound for its size. It also has an integrated line-in cable that stows away in the bottom of the device,...

Doesn't handle big bass well and distorts at higher volumes.

The JBL Clip is good for someone looking for a very compact, travel-friendly wireless speaker that's more affordable than the Jambox Mini.

JBL Clip: Clip It On & Go [Review]

While you may have a bluetooth speaker at home sometimes they are a bit to pick up and go. The JBL Clip is a wireless speaker that can be grabbed and either tossed in your bag or even latch it on the outside. If you don't have a bag your clothes are...

JBL Clip 5 review: an affordable portable speaker with fantastic sound

Big bass in a little case

Great detail ; IP67 waterproof and dustproof ; Impressive volume and bass

You can’t stand it on its base ; Only 3 EQ presets ; Treble trouble when using preset EQs

Despite being pint-sized, this speaker really can blast out the tunes. The level of detail and punchy bass impressed, though the treble could sound strained at over 50% volume. Some great features include the adjustable EQ, Auracast connectivity, IP67...

JBL Clip Review: The New-Age Boombox

Funky design Good mids

Almost non-existent low-frequency sounds Not many practical uses for the carabiner clip

The JBL Clip is a well designed product and we are fans of the funky colours. The carabiner clip is a nice addition, if not completely useful. Sound quality is not great but it is not bad either. The speaker is officially priced at Rs. 3,499 but is...
