How does the Clip 5 compare with the Clip 4?

The Clip 5 has a wider carabiner opening that fits thicker straps and adds Auracast pairing with other compatible JBL speakers. Sound and battery life are close between the two.

Is the Clip 5 actually waterproof?

JBL rates it waterproof and dustproof, so splashes, rain and poolside use are fine. It is not designed to be used underwater.

How long does the battery last?

JBL claims up to 12 hours of play. Expect less at high volume or with bass boost on.

Can I pair two Clip 5 speakers for stereo?

Yes. Auracast lets you link two compatible JBL speakers for wider sound, though the pairing setup takes a moment.

What comes in the box?

The speaker with its integrated carabiner and a USB-C charging cable. A charger is not included.

Is it loud enough for outdoors?

It fills a small campsite or picnic blanket. In open wind or a noisy crowd it runs out of headroom, so a larger speaker suits those settings better.

Our take on the JBL Clip 5 Ultra-Portable, Waterproof & Dustproof Bluetooth Speaker Black

The JBL Clip 5 is a palm-sized Bluetooth speaker with a built-in carabiner that clips to a backpack, belt loop or handlebar. It is rated waterproof and dustproof and JBL claims up to 12 hours of play with punchy bass for its size. It suits hikers, cyclists and commuters who want sound on the move. Against rivals like the Clip 4 it adds a wider carabiner opening and JBL's Auracast pairing, but it stays a small mono speaker with modest bass and volume next to larger portable models.
