love my JBL I have been using it for years. It's great to take literally anywhere, I use it everyday while I'm getting ready and I take it to the beach, the opportunities are limitless because of it's great design. The volume is very good as well and much better compared to other speaker brands.

I noticed one of the two guys I was playing golf with had a JBL Clip 5 and it sounded as nice as my JNL Charge 5, as soon as I got off the golf course I ordered one from JBL. Now I can clip it onto my golf bag and crank up my tunes while playing.

Go ahead and buy it - you’ll love it too!
I bought this little JBL Clip 5 for taking on river trips this summer. It has been the perfect speaker! It sounds great, securely clips to my kayak, and I don’t have to worry about water splashing on it. I chose to have it personalized with a photo I took, and absolutely LOVE how it turned out!! It charges quickly and holds a charge well. If you’re thinking about this one - you won’t regret buying it!

Why you offer the ability to customize your speaker then force your emojis own a custom design that I will pay for, how stupid .

be careful what picture you choose
(got the custom photo one) kinda disappointed with the print. they need to make the preview more accurate, because i chose a picture with a white background thinking the edges would blend in but in person the speaker is like a grey instead of white so the picture edge is cut off smh if i knew i would have picked a png

Nice
Long battery life more volume and Bass sound than my JBL Clip 2 that I loved. Not a massive difference, but definitely noticeable plus the added bonus of IP67 water resistant. Noticeable weight difference without being cumbersome what so ever.

Perfect anniversary gift
I bought a pair of customized clip 5 as an anniversary gift for my wife and me, and I am so glad I did. The battery life is superb and easily blows my old Clip 2 and 3 out of the water. The best feature by far is the ability to sync them together. Placing them in different corners of the room creates a fantastic, immersive sound system. Highly recommended!

Is a waste of money
My JBL Clip 5 randomly turns on, then powers off. When I plug it in, it immediatly powers on, light turns red for 4 seconds, then powers off and cannot be turned back on.

Disappointed with battery life
I bought a pair of the Clip 5s to use while playing golf. The aura cast and sound are great…the battery life is poor at best. I’ve always loved JBL products, but the Clip 5s are terribly disappointing.

Amazing sound quality and long battery life
I needed a new waterproof speaker to replace the one I use in the shower, and the Clip 5 came highly recommended. I am so happy with my purchase. The sound quality is exceptional -- far superior to my old speaker -- and the battery lasts an incredibly long time. I've recommended it to at least 3 other people and will certainly consider other JBL products in the future.
