I have previously owned the Bose Soundllink Mini II. I have replaced the battery in it and used it until it simply ceased functioning. I debated whether to seek out a new battery or to just replace the unilt all together.After having seen this speaker at a local store, I never realized just how much technology has advanced, as far as the sound coming out of such a small speaker. I decided to investigate this particular speaker and found quite a few article and comments on just how nice of a speaker it truly is. At that point, I decided to go ahead and buy one.It arrived in a timely manner and I have to say, it was easy to set up and pair up to my iPhone. Now, I take it out with me when I go out to the front porch and listen to a book or music, while enjoying the weather and outdoors. With its built in clip (hence the name), it can be clipped to just about anything, including backpacks, belt loops, or anything in which you can loop to. The clip is solid and easy to put on/off.PROS: JBL quality, sound quality is awesome, ease of pairing to my iPhone, size, battery lifeCONS: None noted at the time of this review.

Quite impressed with the sound quality of this little speaker. Battery life isn't great, but it's tough and can take a beating (I use it for camping and at the beach). Works really well for my uses, great range, and it's small enough to take anywhere. Love the clip for hanging on trees, but the rubber grips on the back mean you can play it laying down if there's nothing to hang it on. Solid value for the money.

I used the JBL Clip 5 several times during a recent trip to Hawaii, both in our resort room and at the beach, and it performed really well. It’s super compact, lightweight, and easy to clip onto a bag. The sound is surprisingly full with good bass for the size. Battery lasted several hours (I fully charged it before each use). I haven’t tested the waterproof feature yet, but the build feels solid. The vibrant purple color is a nice bonus, fun, and easy to spot. Great little speaker for travel or everyday use.

Excellent sound quality. It is compact, light weight and easy to travel. The clip convenient to use which gives it a wider variety of places where it can be placed, especially if lacking a table top. Sturdy built and it gives a decent range, the waterproof feature makes it an excellent choice to go to the pool or beach. To avoid the sand I just clip it onto my back. Easy to use and it connects to the jbl app which is convenient. Quick charge and long battery life. It does shut off on it's own when not in use for a long period of time. I'm unsure if that was to save battery life or just a convenient function. It was a little annoying at first but it reconnects and pairs quickly so a minor inconvenience. I plan to buy another one to utilise the multiple speaker pairing option.

Works amazing has great bass for a small speaker. Small and compact and the colors are very appealing. Easy to connect and use and charges quickly. I’ve dropped it so many times and it still works perfectly supersplash resistant and has a strong clip.

These things are awesome.Great battery life. Sturdy. Good price. Solid, bass-y sound that really can be surprisingly loud, more than I would have expected. Easy to link up, easy to use, it clips onto a shower curtain ring, a tree branch, a cabinet handle, anywhere.The only thing it isn't as great at is the sound quality of speech-only. It seems to struggle a little bit with higher pitches, while being strong on low and medium tones. This means sometimes for something like an audio book or podcast, you have to turn it up louder than you'd expect to get good voice clarity. I downloaded the app for adjusting the sound balance, and while it helps to switch it to "speech mode" it doesn't make a huge impact.I have only one other nitpick and I cannot say for sure if it is the fault of this speaker, or my phone. But when I have this linked to my phone, for some reason it will NOT play phone calls. So if you were hoping to answer a call and hear someone talking through the speaker, it won't. Or at least, not with my phone. Every other bluetooth speaker I have ever had does this.Don't let that deter you though. This is a great speaker and I bought a second one so that I could leave one at home and one in the car for all the times I found myself somewhere that I wanted a speaker.

You literally cannot beat the sound quality and clarity of a Bluetooth speaker in this size range with this level of portability. Each year JBL tops itself in terms of performance and straight up loudness, this year is no different with the JBL Clip 5 beating it’s predecessor in every dimension. The clip is much stronger on this model and the battery life is also greatly improved. The ability to sync up with other speakers with the same model means that rolling with friends means sharing the tunes and amping up the volume of the party. The only negative that I can really call out is that its sync technology is incompatible with other models of the same generation. They’ve thankfully fixed that in the next models but this is still a solid speaker with excellent sound and value for its size!
