Caught it on sale for $50, instant grab
The clip makes it easily portable, of course, though it can't stand on its own. The IP67 rating and rugged design make it suitable for outdoor usage; it has a very solid feel and nice heft to it.This paragraph is copied from the Go 4 review, as Bluetooth and buttons work the same on both devices, though the front button push of the Clip 5 feels crisper: Getting it connected takes less than a minute, though the optional app lets you customize the equalizer and see more information about it. I love that I can just turn it on and have the audio transfer over without any fuss. The buttons on top are also easy to distinguish, and the side buttons slightly divot in and will push in, so they're easy to distinguish in the dark too. Very thoughtful functions all around and solid build quality (I've already dropped it once on a hard floor without issue), especially at this price.Clip 5 vs Go 4: Though I already have the Go 4, I was leaning more heavily towards the Clip 5, and wanted to have one that'd stand on its own without needing a separate case or item for a stand. The Go 4 seems to start louder (had turned both down all the way first), though it can sound minorly more tinny with lower quality audio with lyrics. I'm guessing that some may not even notice the difference. For higher quality music or progressive/house, the difference isn't too noticeable, though the Clip 5 definitely has better bass (where you can feel it) due to its larger speaker and size.It's a shame Amazon, as the seller, hadn't had Sand in stock to match the Go 4 I already had, but the white look matching JBL's brand colors is very nice too and probably fits better in more formal environments.Onto Auracast: They were fun to pair together with minimal delay (whether via app or button push), though it's important to note that there's a minor bug in the app. If they're added to a party in the app, it doesn't seem like pressing Auracast on the device will remove it from the group. For stereo pairing, there needs to be two of the same device, which is pretty common for functionality like that.

Great Form and Functionality
Best purchase this year. I have multiple large/medium size portable speakers but I wanted something with a smaller footprint to listen to audio books while diamond painting. I also love the color purple and it is saturated and vibrant. Sound-wise, this speaker more than delivers. I was surprised at how it was able to reflect the variations of cadences in the narrator's voice making a clear distinction in characters. The speaker seems durable with a handy carabiner on board, in addition to being waterproof for poolside retreats. Functionality was intuitive for operation and connection via Bluetooth. The sound quality while listening to music is more than I expected from such a small unit. No distortion was detected regardless of the speaker's position. The bass is rich but not overbearing. There is also an app that can be downloaded for additional features. I purchased it on sale at nearly half off which in my opinion was a tremendous value. I was so impressed, I purchased another one for travel.

This is definitely something that you should have is wonderful and well built
This is a very high quality good value for your money that works well durable that also has Bluetooth capability I don't just use this for when you're on the beach cuz it's water resistant you can literally go 3 ft down under the water for 15 minutes without this damaging this device I use it for the TV I put it in the back of the room and literally everyone can hear everything that it does it's almost like it's meant for the TV Great quality sound and all you have to do to wash it is dip it in some water cleans it immediately air dry it's just really a magnificent purchase and buy we bought two

Great small speaker!
This is the perfect speaker for outdoor trips, the beach, picnics, by the pool, etc. I took it to the beach and it lasted all day on one charge. The sound quality is amazing. It gets loud enough for a big area. The clip is so convenient. I clipped it on my beach chair to keep it up off the sand. It charges quickly and looks great too. It's a great size for easily throwing in your car or bag. Highly recommend!

Great Sound, great software to add more speakers and easy to use!
The sound for the money is terrific. It has bass and treble that surprise you coming from this small package. The handle is like a carabiner and will easily clip on to things like your belt or backpack or whatever. Best of all is the software, "JBL Portable", lets you combine two or more of these together for ... well a party! Having a single point source for the sound is okay but let's face it, there is a reason for buying a stereo, or surround sound... The JBL Portable software has over 40,000 5 star reviews. It works great. You just download from the App Store and can easily tie several speakers together. So I bought two LOL! By the way, the speakers do not have to be the same model to work together.!

Excellent sound quality.
I absolutely love this little speaker. The sound quality is excellent. I have three other JBL speakers, Flip 5 & 6 and a Charge 5. On a recent trip to the beach we meant to bring one of the Flip 5s which are just small enough for travel. When we realized we didn't have a speaker. I order the Clip 5 and had it delivered to the Airbnb. Amazon got it there overnight. It's the perfect speaker for the beach and has better sound than expected. I used a lanyard to hang it from the beach umbrella. Very happy with the purchase.
