Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this jbl speaker, quite frankly, because I had a gift certificate and couldn't think of anything else. I wasn't that impressed with it at the store, but decided to give it a try at home, and OMG, this little guy ROCKS. I clip it in the shower, and it can get so loud, my wife has to yell at me to turn it down - & that is the perfect volume. I also have not had to recharge the speaker while using it for 2 months. What a great surprise.

For the price point, this Clip5 speaker works great. The sound quality is doable and easy set up to pair with iPhone. The quality of sound, to me is a comparative. It beats the speaker system of my laptop. It helps amplify the sound from devices but if the sender has poor quality output, don't expect miracles. I like that I can clip to my bike when I ride on trails and that it is dust proof and waterproof. Simple volume buttons. Doubt if I'll ever use the Auracast feature. Claims 12 hour play, but I haven't kept track. I know it does play for hours before recharge. All in all, a great speaker. I was hooked on portable speakers when a family member gifted me with anther brand. So, I had to purchase another for when I'm on the go with my phone. Glad I did.

Great sound in the shower, and the water resistant works as advertised. Battery life is good. Works well at the pool or hooked on a backpack hiking. Can pair with other JBL speakers to boost the sound, but it does great on its own.

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.

I bought the JBL Clip 5 for my son. The sound quality is incredible for such a compact speaker, and the buil-in clip make it super convenient to take where.The battery life is impressive and it's waterproof. It's a good gift ,I recommend it.

Perfect for on the go music. Just went on a 3 day ski trip and had this thing clipped to my belt loop the whole time. Light enough to keep on you and not know it's there. Sounds great and lasts forever. Can't wait to take it to the golf course.

For what you pay for it's a solid product. The sound quality is sub-par but it's not meant to be the best. It's strong suit is its portability. It's smaller so it can fit in almost any type of carry bag or case. It even has a built in clip to hang onto something if needed. Great for small parties or functions.

Sounds great! Gets very loud and the battery lasts forever! I’ve had it for over a month and charged it maybe 3 times. Love how it clips and hangs wherever I need it.

Fanstastic sound, easy to use and pair to another speaker. Utilized during a golf tournament and 1 of the carts went back the length of an entire hole and still had crystal clear sound even though the "master speaker" and my phone playing spotify were with me. The built in carabeener is perfect for hanging on a golf bag or cart or up out of the way.

This speaker is perfect for water resistance in the shower. My only issue is sometimes trying to turn it down really low when I'm streaming Apple Music from my phone. I couldn't get the volume down really low The JBL app did help with that issue. Overall, would recommend as an excellent value. The clip is really handy to use.

Amazing sound quality, I use it at work and have not had a problem with it even if it gets water on it or just it does not affect it’s quality and the battery life is amazing

Great sound and loud for such a little speaker. Survived short water submerge and splashes. Fun to connect with other clips. I take mine everywhere; bike rides, paddle boarding. Survives all the adventures. One thing is JBL label is coming off already but has been out in heat.

Outstanding performance and quality. The JBL speaker delivers balanced sound, strong bass, and impressive volume with zero distortion. Build quality feels premium and battery life is exceptional. A reliable product I’d recommend to anyone seeking great audio on the go.

I have owned one of these little speakers for 6 years now and it still sounds great and the battery last for days. The new one looks great and I'm looking forward to using this speaker another 6 years or longer

[Employee of bestbuy] Bought this for something portable that I could keep in my bag for those times where I want to jam out on more than my phone! Audio quality is average nothing to rave about battery life is great and it’s water resistant!

I really enjoy my speaker. The sound is clear and has nice volume. Also the clip makes it very convenient.

An absolutely great little speaker to take around wherever you may go. I have almost every variant of the JBL portable speakers and I needed a little one for on the go or just quick usage. My advice is to download the JBL Portable App so you can go into the setting and set up the Custom equalizer. I prefer Bass all the way and Treble all the way and mid-range to be neutral or a little bit lower. It really makes the sound pop and takes away any muddiness from the mids. This thing lasts a long time and great for people who want to listen to some music while working on their cars, bike riding, hiking, golfing, etc. It is not a JBL BoomBox3, but it still has great sound and will fill an area.

Hung from a banana hanger/holder thing in the kitches, Bluetooth connected to a laptop in another part of the house. Two quick clicks and my favorite YouTube playlist is fills the kithen, pantry and bathroom. Great sound, easy to use. highly recommended.

This was my 2nd JBL purchase and I'm just as happy with it! I currently have the JBL Charge 3 and it's been my best friend over the past few years. I needed something a little smaller and more portable and this for sure fits the bill and the sound is amazing! Very loud and sounds great to me! I'm no audiohead but I do like my music to sound amazing and it does with this!

CLIP5 worth the price download the app a one time set up to any bluetooth device , easy setup Great sound and excellent battery life a must have portable JBL portable speaker
