JBL Clip 5 vs JBL Flip 7

The Flip 7 is the better speaker: more power, a real tweeter, IP68 including dust and drop protection, and USB-C lossless audio. The Clip 5 wins on portability and simplicity, with a built-in carabiner that clips to a bag or belt and a smaller, lighter body. Reviewers rate the Clip 5 highly for sound and build for its size; the Flip 7 is the step up when you want louder, cleaner sound and a tougher shell.

• Choose the JBL Clip 5 if you want a speaker that clips onto a backpack, bike or belt and disappears into your gear.
• Choose the JBL Flip 7 if you want louder, cleaner sound and a speaker that survives drops, dust and water without a case.
