Love it!
This little speaker has great sound! The bass bumps, the mids & highs are really clear. It's really convenient to use while riding my bike, it clips right onto my pannier and I never have to worry about it falling off.
This was a great value for a really fantastic product.

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.

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.

Rugged and Portable with Amazing Sound Quality
[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.

Stylish, powerful sound you can easily carry
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a fun, easy to travel, powerful sounding little speaker. The carabiner clip opens easily and closes securely. It fits easily on a backpack, purse, or pant loop. The speaker is light, probably about 1 pounds. Inside the box you will find the speaker and charging cord. Bluetooth pairing works easily, button on the side, volume, pause, play on the front of speaker. There is also a multi-speaker button to connect multiple speakers. I have used it most often in the garage while working out attached to my bag. The speaker provides great sound quality that is balanced. I think it lives up to the 12 hour battery life in between charges. I have taken it in walks with a friend - attached to my fanny pack. I like that I can control the volume easily. I have gotten compliments on the small size and stylish look with great sound. Perfect gift for my on-the-go college aged and high school kids.

Tiny and Fierce!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! The first word that comes to mind when I cracked open the new JBL Clip 5 from Harman. How can all that sound come from such a small package?!? Let me explain...
The new and revised Clip 5 offering from JBL offers many upgrades from previous models including better battery life, connectivity, and a larger/durable 'clip' (carabiner) opening to accommodate more areas in which to use this roughly 6x4x2 inch speaker!
The sound is potent with punchy bass emitting from a frequency range of 95hz-20Khz. The sound is nothing short of astounding but also lives up the the JBL reputation of bigger isn't always better. The small palm-of-your-hand sized frame (which is dust and WATER proof) is rugged and can take abuse from most any outdoor activity in which it is used.
Battery life is up to 12hrs with an additional 3hrs of playtime when you turn Playtime Boost (in the JBL Portable App) to the off setting... all this with just a minimal 3 hour charge time from a supplied USB-A to USB-C connecting cable. The cable is short but does the trick and you must supply a wall USB-A compatible charging block yourself.
The speaker is able to be connected to other JBL Portable devices thru AuraCast and the JBL app for a complete party on the go.. whether you're fishing, swimming, beaching, off-roading, partying, or just relaxing.. it just works! I did have trouble when first trying to connect the speaker to the JBL Portable App but soon discovered a quick update of the App fixed all connectivity issues.
The Clip 5 does come in a variety of colors but whatever the color... this thing just ROCKS! The main use I have for the speaker is in my shower. My mornings are started with a bang from this potent little monster! Well worth every penny just as other JBL speakers I have in my collection. The JBL/Harman name is simply synonymous with quality sound and craftsmanship!

Small Speaker Packs A Powerful Punch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks can definitely be deceiving!! This small speaker has tremendous range and remains clear and crisp at high levels with a good bass sound and treble. It is easy to use and simple with the big buttons on the side and front and it pairs seamlessly with devices. It is stylish and even lightweight for its small size and it seems like the battery lasts for ever. And with an IP67 rating you can throw it in the pool no problem. Truly a great all round speaker for any setting or occasion on the go just clip it and go!!!

Perfect small speaker that CLIPs everywhere!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sorry for the pun in the title!
This speaker is what was missing in my collection of bluetooth speakers. My default speaker is Charge 5, which is the perfect balance of sound quality, size, and weight for most applications at home or near a car.
But when traveling, especially hiking or even just taking a flight somewhere, Charge becomes too cumbersome. Sure, it's nice to set it up at a hotel and jam to it during evenings or before heading out. But the weight and size of it are prohibitive for traveling, especially during hiking etc.
So Clip 5 is actually very useful for these two things: traveling and hiking. It is very light, very small, and clips anywhere. So even if your backpack is packed tightly, you can always hang it on the outside, as visible in the pictures below.
They say that the best tool is not the one that performs the best, but the one you are most likely to use. In case of Clip 5, I just end up taking it with me because it's so light and compact.
The only reason it's not a perfect speaker is the same reason it's so easy to carry with you: its size and weight. The small volume of the speaker makes it very difficult to reproduce faithful bass, from an engineering point of view. Somehow, though, JBL engineers managed to make it sound bassy even being this tiny! The bass is not true to life, but it's enough. It's enough to indicate where the bass would've been in the music if it was a bigger speaker. You can tell that Clip 5 is pushing physics to its limits by how much the speaker vibrates during the lowest bass it can reproduce.
Here's a tip for Clip 5 owners: put it in a corner to make bass sound almost true. It can be a corner between a shelf or table top and the wall, or a literal corner. The best results are when you place this tiny speaker on a kitchen counter in the corner. Then the bass comes to life fully, surprising everyone.
Battery lasts a decent time, feels close to what's advertised. USB-C chargers are ubiquitous nowadays, so not including one is a smart move by JBL: reduced electronic waste and lower costs!
The clip itself is made of metal, presumably aluminum. The gate also feels like metal, but covered in rubber. The cool thing is that the gate can be fully depressed into the slot on the speaker body, which makes the opening rather large. This makes it easier to clip and unclip it from various places.
Overall, I am loving this speaker for what it is. I'll keep taking it wherever Charge 5 feels cumbersome, and whenever the bass won't seem enough, I'll just put it in the corner.

Amazing little speaker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Clip 5 is an amazing speaker. It's small and lightweight, but it it loud. I was surprised at how loud it would get. I carry it with me every I go. I will take it the shower with me, and I can hear my music clearly at less than 50% volume. Audio and battery are great. You can use the JBL Portable app to adjust the audio, but I'm happy with how it sounds out of the box. Overall I am very happy with the Clip 5.

Large Sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Right off the bat, the soundstage from this relatively small speaker is very impressive. Without looking at it, you wouldn’t expect such a small speaker to sound this amazing. The bass is very punchy and the highs and mids have a good presence but are not overpowering.
Being the 5th version of the Clip speaker, the build quality has come a long way. From the long battery life, to the structure of the speaker being strong you definitely feel confident bringing this wherever you are going.
The clip on the top of the speaker is larger than before allowing you to hook it onto a lot of things.
The presentation of the packaging is also nice, simple, eco friendly with no plastics. Overall this speaker packs a punch and is great to bring with you wherever you go!

Small but mighty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been needing a small speaker for my bathroom when I shower so this was the perfect addition. I love how this was designed with a clip on hook. This speaker is water proof and super durable. Very easy to clean if anything gets on it. It’s definitely got a lil weight to it, which is great. This little speaker is small but mighty. I can easily take it anywhere with me. I’ve been traveling between my boyfriend’s house and my house and I always want to have a speaker with me in the bathroom so this made my life sooo much easier. It doesn’t take up space and it sounds phenomenal. This speaker is great for everyone whether for travel or to have in the house.

Compact but powerful!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL has done it again with the Clip 5. It is a small but mighty powerhouse that punches above its proverbial weight class. Connecting it via bluetooth was super easy as was connecting it to another speaker with the Multi-Speaker connection button. The Clip 5 has super high quality sound and is LOUD. I like how rugged it is, it would make the perfect travel companion. And the rubber on the back side of the speaker keep it from sliding around when not clipped to something.

Good speaker with unique ability to hang in places
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice product with a cool feature; I love the hook and the ability to place the speaker in unique places. The sound is great, better than some bigger speakers. I do wish there was an improvement regarding connecting to the device; I wish there was something to indicate the speaker was on, in pairing mode, and connected.

SMALL COMPACT SPEAKER WITH A BIG PUNCH!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Clip 5 is a truly amazing small compact speaker with a big punch. The JBL Clip 5 connected very easily via bluetooth and using the JBL portable app, you can now customize your EQ and connect multi-speakers. The sound is very clear with a balanced highs and a nice punchy bass. It has an IP67 waterproof rating, and I have used it in the shower. I can honestly say it's waterproof. I like the big clip on it, so it hooks securely to my backpack. The the power and controls are easy to push. JBL has gone another level with this small compact speaker. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'll give it a 9 rating for sound, convenience, and portability.

Great portable speaker!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is exactly what I needed for work. I go from room to room and want the music to stay contstant. The clip is easy to put on or taking off. The bass is a little heavy against the body but not too much of a distraction. The sound is of good quality and clarity at all volumes. It's light weight but durable. I dropped it a good 4+ft accidentally and it held up just fine. Buttons are easy to use and bluetooth connects fast and easily. Highly recommend!

Great little speaker, big sound in small package
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great little speaker. It really puts out a lot of sound, and even impressed me how much bass it could make for its size. The design is really smart, not just having the built-in clip, but also having isolators on the back so it can sit on a counter or table, and also the ability to stereo and multi-speaker pairing. But it is also a great upgrade from the Clip 4. The size is roughly the same but it has 2hrs more in battery life along with 3 hour playtime boost. It also has Bluetooth V5.3. But another thing I really appreciated about it is the new packaging - while still premium and organized packaging (maybe not quite as good looking) - its smaller and made from all sustainable materials. Applause to Harman for considering this - using less space (i.e. less shipments) and also fully recyclable materials.

That crisp sound you expect from JBL in small form
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive used this lil beast in the shower hanging off my showerhead to jam out, clip it onto my reusable bags while running errands, and my bike and its a strong hook. Speaker packs a punch and gets loud if you want it to and the app makes EQ a breeze which is nice when you wanna listen to music late night with less bass to not disturb others trying to sleep. The classic jbl signature is usally what I keep it at but I mess around w the dials when listening to hip hop for more boom. I like that it shows battery life when using the app and I wish that there was a widget for the speaker on android that shows battery life consistently so maybe that can get added in the portable app in the near future. I give it 5 stars and recommend it to my uncles that works construction cause they can clip it onto their pouches at work.

A great portable speaker.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Provides great sound using the preset equalizer settings. It is waterproof IP67 so great to clip on the shower rings. It has a Playtime Boost setting for more sound and longer playing time but the equalizer doesnt work with that turned on. To me when I turned on the Playtime Boost it sounded tinny. You can connect to other compatible speakers but you need to make sure they are compatible. The Clip 5 doesn't connect to my Clip 4. The battery life has increased from 10-12 hours from the Clip 4 to the Clip 5.

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

High Five for the Clip 5! !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been a fan of JBL's small speaker line up since our purchase of the JBL Micro Wireless. Beach, pool, biking, chiliin, travel , and in shower singing, (Door closed, water running, of course), these tiny monsters are constant companions.
After 12 plus hours of break in, it was time to take the newest monster for a test spin. What? Turned it on and walked into another room and I had to stop and listen. The Clip sounded official. With the app set for JBL signature, fidelity is what struck me the most regardless of the music genre I threw at it. Don't get me wrong. This is not a super duper audiophile device but for the size and the volume that the Clip 5 produced it drew me in and had my ears dancing. As the old commercial use to say, "you've come a long way baby."
The cleaver clip makes this super portable and the reliability of the wireless connection is outstanding! BTW I hooked up two separate sources with ease. Switching back and fourth is no longer a headache.
JBL is one manufacture that with their secret sauce keeps innovating and releasing products that increases the enjoyment of anything audio.
What's next? Can't wait!!!!

Big sound, versatile little speaker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like how JBL upped the functionality of this smaller speaker. Previous small speakers wouldn't have extra functions like skip ahead a song, or back a song. This one does. Previous speakers would basically just have play/pause and volume. It's nice to have that if you would use this as like a shower speaker or something and don't want your phone in with you. It is rated as water proof to a degree, 30 minutes at a meter, so a shower is fine. It has a nice heavy feel and you can tell with the sound, suprisingly loud and good bass sound. I also like that you can now pair it to other speakers in it's class, creating a stereo sound. I might have to get another one to make use of that option. Really sharp look. The clip is heavy duty enough that I'm not worried about it breaking or not holding up. There's a JBL Portable app for controlling the sound EQ which is nice. They have a "playtime boost" mode where it's louder, and also saves battery which it does at the expense of the EQ sound. So that mode sounds a little tinny, but it's definitely louder and would maybe be good for podcast listening or audio books where you want a little more volume. The back has padded grips so you can set it on it's back and it won't wreck the finish or anything like that.

Powerful little speaker for on the go
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For it's size, this speaker is really powerful and portable. It has a companion app that allows you to set different equalization settings which is a fantastic feature if you prefer to dial in your sound for your space. On device buttons and USB-C charging is a plus. It is slightly heavier than I was expecting but I will take it if this is the sound I get.
