Great sound but needs a few tweaks
The sound from the speaker is very good, what I have come to expect from JBL. However on the Clip in black that I purchased the power / pair and one other button are not visible since the button is black and the plastic is black. Hence the buttons cannot be seen.
Also would be nice if one of the JBL apps helped with pairing, software update or connecting two units to...

Big sound
Loving it so far! The custom image I requested looks great. Great sound for a little speaker, and it suits my musical taste from electronic music, some punk/indie and a little classic rock stuff. I would’ve liked the integrated battery life on the control screen of iOS and they gave an option for that more blue gray base color.

Amazing speaker however the clip in its name is honestly misleading as mine unclipped at some point throughout the day and is now lost. Beware always make sure it’s still hooked on as it’s easy to lose

Good speaker but custom design is terrible
I ordered a custom design clip 5 and it is the most disappointing and worst quality item I have received in a long time. They fail to mention that the custom image is an overlay on the speaker that will peel and scratch immediately. The speaker itself is great quality and works like all other JBL products but they should not be offering a custom design option that is th...

Great personal speaker!
I bought this for an extra speaker and have only used it a few times. I pretty much use exclusively JBL personal speakers and headphones, etc. I'm still using a Clip 3 after several years. This 4 seems to be a little louder and larger. Very tough, durable speaker and not affected by water.

Clip-tastic
I bought this for backpacking but find myself using it more and more around the house. The sound for the size is really pleasantly surprising . Also the battery life is awesome. And with the app you can customize the sound. I highly recommend this speaker.

Nice sound, on button broken
Sound quality is good. Can't comment on the carabiner as never seen the clip 4. My issue with this is my brand new clip 5 tries to turn itself on in the middle of the night. I have tried all the tips to reset, fully charge, etc but it still does it. It's not all night, it's not at regular times. It could happen 3-4 times then nothing for an hour.

Mostly good, but…
Great sound, but randomly shuts off after 20 minutes of use. The battery isn’t dead, I just have to turn it back on again. This has happened several times.

Great product and love the aura cast capability.
I decided to give the Clip 5 a try, and I was really surprised with the quality of sound. Very satisfied with the performance at a reasonable price, and what really sold me on the Clip 5 is the fact that you can pair it with other comparable JBL speakers.Just a suggestion! Come out with a Clip 6 just a little louder and a little more brassy. That would be great and a 5 ...

JBL Clip 5 response to JBL
Already reviewed but received a reply from JBL that I would need to download the JBL app and connect through the required steps for stereo sound to work. I guess I didn’t explain clearly that I already did that and still want blown away with the stereo sound off two Clip 5’s. There isn’t a respond tab to answer or reply back to JBL, so have to do it through another revi...
