Clip 5 Portable Waterproof Dustproof Wireless Speaker Black

The JBL Clip 5 is a compact, portable Bluetooth speaker designed for those who need a rugged, on-the-go audio solution without sacrificing sound quality. It’s a step up from previous models in the JBL Clip series, offering improved features and enhanced sound performance in a small and practical form factor.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the JBL Clip 5:

Key Features of the JBL Clip 5

Design & Portability:

• Compact & Lightweight: The JBL Clip 5 is incredibly small, making it extremely portable. It weighs just 0.55 lbs (250 grams) and is roughly 5.4 x 9.3 x 4.2 cm in size, which makes it easy to carry around in a bag or even clip onto a backpack.

• Durable Build: The speaker features a rugged design with an IP67 water and dustproof rating, meaning it can withstand being submerged in water up to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. It’s also protected against dust, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, camping, or beach trips.

• Carabiner Clip: As the name suggests, the Clip 5 has an integrated carabiner clip, allowing you to easily attach it to your bag, belt loop, or backpack strap. This feature makes it an excellent choice for people who want to carry their music with them without taking up much space.

Sound Performance:

• JBL Bass Radiator: The Clip 5 comes equipped with JBL Bass Radiators, which help deliver deeper, richer bass despite its small size. While it won’t provide the same level of bass as larger speakers like the JBL Charge or JBL Flip, it still produces surprisingly good sound for its size, with a balanced sound profile that’s suitable for most genres of music.

• Clear Sound Quality: Expect clean, crisp sound for both highs and mids, making it a great option for casual listening. However, since it’s a small speaker, it’s best for personal use or small group settings. It’s not meant to fill a large room or outdoor space with heavy sound.

• Loudness: The Clip 5 can get loud enough for personal use and small gatherings. It won’t rival larger Bluetooth speakers, but it does deliver impressive volume for its size, and the sound remains distortion-free at higher volumes.

Battery Life:

• Up to 10 hours of playtime: The Clip 5 features a 3.7V, 1,000mAh rechargeable battery, providing up to 10 hours of continuous play on a single charge at moderate volumes. Battery life will vary based on the volume level and the type of music being played.

• Charging: The speaker uses a USB-C charging port for quicker and more efficient charging. The battery charges fully in about 2.5 hours.

Bluetooth Connectivity:

• Bluetooth 5.1: The JBL Clip 5 supports Bluetooth 5.1, offering a stable wireless connection with a range of up to 10 meters (33 feet), which is typical for most Bluetooth speakers.

• Easy Pairing: Pairing the Clip 5 with your phone, tablet, or other Bluetooth-enabled devices is straightforward, and it maintains a stable connection even in moderately busy wireless environments.
