Ive been a clip fan since the first generation. My clip 2 has remained my shower speaker for 6 years and it has served me well. Recently the battery stipped holding a charge so I took the opportunity to upgrade. At fifty dollars this speaker is really solid, however at full orice I just dont see its worth. Its loud and articulate. Bass is semi present up to around 40%. Its a small speaker so you cannot expect much but at full price it would be a hard sell. Mids sound great but its the highs I have a problem with. There is a large bump at 4k and it almost gets ear peircing as you increase the volume. Sadly it just gets worse as you increase the volume and the low end completely disolves at around 60% volume. Music can almost be jarring but I do find the sound profile excellent for vocal driven tasks like podcasts and audio books or youtube. Past that the soeaker lives its best life at around 40% volume which is great for my use. Pluses are the soeaker gets really loud, battery life is excellent, and the clip on the unit is class leading. Installs on bike handles, shower hooks, belt loops, and backpacks with ease. If this is your only speaker purchase or your first run into bluetooth speakers, you might consider upgrading to a flip. Its really night and day difference in both clarity and low end as well as plesant listening. Side note do some shopping as the flip 5 can be found on deep discounts for as low as the clip 5 (at full price) and the experience is far better.

Great little speakers, except for the flashing red and white lights. Very temperamental…they don’t like being plugged in too long. The “pairing “ feature is great as the voices are never out of sync. However, when paired they don’t operate independently. If you turn up the volume on one, the other increases too. One keeps turning itself off—haven’t figured that problem out yet.

The battery doesn't seem to last quite as long as advertised and the sound quality is a bit fuzzy depending on the song being played. But the clip and size make the portability favorable.

Great little speaker, don’t think it’s worth the price though. Bough a cheap speaker previously on Amazon and it was as good as this one for way cheaper.
