Is the JBL Clip 4 Eco actually waterproof?

Yes. It carries an IP67 rating, meaning it is dust-tight and can be submerged in shallow water for a short time. It is fine for rain, splashes and poolside use.

How long does the battery last?

JBL rates it at up to 10 hours. Real-world use at higher volume tends to fall short of that, so plan on charging it most days of heavy use.

Can I take calls on it?

No. It has no microphone or speakerphone function, so it is for music and audio playback only.

Does it have an aux input?

No. It connects over Bluetooth only, with no 3.5 mm jack for wired sources.

How does it compare with the Clip 5?

The Clip 5 is the newer model with a wider carabiner and longer rated battery life. The Clip 4 Eco keeps the same rugged clip-on formula and recycled build in a slightly smaller package.

What comes in the box?

The speaker, a USB-C charging cable and the quick-start documentation. No wall adapter is included.

Our take on the JBL Clip 4 Eco Portable Bluetooth Speaker

The JBL Clip 4 Eco is a palm-sized Bluetooth speaker with a built-in carabiner that clips to a backpack, belt loop or bike frame. It is IP67 waterproof and dustproof, and the housing is made partly from recycled plastic. Battery life is rated at up to 10 hours, which is shorter than the 12 to 24 hours most rivals in this size class claim. Owners like the sound for its size and the clip, but many say the volume is modest outdoors and the bass thins out at high levels.
