JBL - Clip 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black

I still have my Clip 2 so I can compare it side by side with the new Clip 3. My reasoning for purchasing the Clip 3 was for its top mounted controls which are a much needed addition, plus the elimination of the built in auxiliary cord in favor of a protected auxiliary socket. I rarely used the built in auxiliary cord so removing it was a smart move at least in my opinion. The new clip design isn't as big as the old model but I haven't had any issues with it in use. The speaker phone function is also just as good as the old one. JBL uses noise and echo canceling mics on their speakers which is great, my GF hasn't asked me to repeat myself once. Battery life is also advertised as being two hours longer which is great, but I never had an issue with battery life on my Clip 2. Its just nice to know I can go longer between charges. Audio wise JBL has listed the same specs for the Clip 3. The speaker is still at 3 watts and has the same frequency response. But in comparing them side by side the Clip 3 has more bottom end, more pronounced and fuller sounding mids and the highs seem to have been adjusted to match up with the mids and lows. Plus at higher volumes the Clip 3 doesn't seem to limit its audio profile as much as the Clip 2 does, but both speakers get just as loud which is fine since the Clip 2 could get pretty loud for its size. The differences aren't like night and day but you notice them right away when switching between the Clip 2 and Clip 3. BT range is about equal between them which is great on both speakers, its about 60 feet if I had to guess. Both speakers also have a solid connection. So overall I think the Clip 3 is a worth while upgrade over the Clip 2. The new button location was a big reason for me, but the unexpected bump in audio quality was a nice surprise.

Wow I was actually surprised at how loud these are. I am using it in my car since my old car doesn't have a sound system, just a radio with crappy OEM speakers, which I never use. I turned these on and paired them with my iPhone and was quite happy with how loud it can get for its size. It can also go 10 hours before requiring a recharge. I love how it has a carabiner type clip system which I put around my jean loop and barely felt it. It's really convenient to carry and the weight isn't bad at all. I highly recommend these. The mids are more pronounced than the treble, but the bass isn't bad at all. It definitely packs a punch...more than you would expect for a speaker at this size and price point. I am now curious to try out JBL's bigger wireless speakers. I don't regret buying these. I may get one for the bathroom since it's waterproof.

Bored washing dishes or any other household chore? Grab one of these speakers, clip it on a belt loop, cabinet handle, or shower curtain hook and enjoy music, a book, or documentary. It has a decent amount of bass to enjoy your music, and is loud enough to hear over running water, washer/dryer noise, or any other household noise. The hook makes it versatile to take outside of the home as well, and basically makes any environment an entertainment zone. The battery life is pretty good as well and has an indicator light to let you know when it needs to be charged. The only complaint that I have is the short charging cord that comes with it. My charging cord for my JBL headphones is a lot longer and more convenient to use.

Pairs easily, awesome battery life and extremely portable. Sounds better than many bigger speakers but will never thump with bass due to size. That said - it’s still extremely satisfying to listen to in a variety of environments and gets surprisingly loud. The built on clip and physical volume and play/pause buttons come in handy. I wear this thing on my belt loop working in warehouse everyday and it’s really helps they day pass. Only minor disappointment is that it can’t be paired with other jbl speakers due to software limitations but since it’s primary use is on the go that is not a huge deal to me. No issues and am extremely happy with the purchase.

From the many Bluetooth speakers I have owned in my life time this is one of the best + favorite one I've owned. I was pondering on if I should go with JBL Clip 2 or 3 and I went with 3 because it's design is awesome I love how the hook goes around the speaker to better protect from a drop and it feels comfortable to fit in my hand. The new button layouts is a big + making it easy to know where controls are. Bass is great, range is good. I'm not bothered there isn't an aux built in as in 2 because if I needed to I can still use an aux cord and plug into aux port. Easy clip easy portability. Longer battery life. Haven't tried using it for calls that much. Won't regret buying.

I purchased this on sale from Best Buy. Out of the box it was quick and easy to pair with my computer and cell phone. I love the easy access buttons on the top and side of the Clip 3. It makes it easy to adjust the volume and turn the Clip 3 on and off. The sound is rich and plentiful from such a small package. The sound is as good as larger and much more expensive speakers I've seen. I love how portable this is and it feels sturdy and well made. I'm happy I caught this on sale for under $40. It's well worth the price for such a great portable speaker!

This little dude is cool. I caught it on sale and thought I'd try it. Main thing for me this clip actually has an opening/connector or whatever (others don't), it makes it much more practical. I have a really nice Bose bluetooth speaker for most of my listening, but this one stays in the bathroom and I love taking it into the shower to listen to some morning radio shows. We also take it with on walks, bike rides, pool, beach...you name it. This is now even my default to take on business trips for the hotel room. Again, the clip is convenient and sound is really good for the size!

This little speaker is extremely convenient to have around whenever and wherever you need to break up the monotony during your day. It’s good, but not great so don’t expect perfect sound quality. It’s better than other portable Bluetooth speakers in its price range, but don’t expect ground shaking bass. The only thing I don’t like is the inability to connect to multiple devices, but don’t let that be a deal breaker. All you have to do is press the Bluetooth button on the side and connect whatever you want at the moment. Is it worth the money? Absolutely.
