Great sound but...
The sound is great. Unfortunately the speaker disconnects or turns off. My previous phone had the same issue. I have a Clip 4 without the issue and enjoy the sound but was hoping to upgrade with a new and improved model.

We appreciate your feedback. If your JBL Clip 5 turns off randomly, please make sure that the speaker is fully charged before using it. If this still does not resolve the issue, proceed to perform the reset. To reset the speaker, remove the speaker from your source device's Bluetooth settings. Power on the speaker, then press and hold the Volume + button and Play/Pause button together for 2 seconds until the speaker turns off. Pair the speaker again to your device to see if it fixes the issue. However, if your product keeps disconnecting from your device, feel free to contact our customer support directly for us to know more about the issue and to assist you further with your concern. https://support.jbl.com/us/en/#contact

Be careful with customization..
I bought this for a client gift, and am glad I bought two. One of them came out with crisp lines with our logo, the other had the logo at a slight angle and was not accepted. The sound is clear and charge works well. I was disappointed in the customization.

Great speaker
This product is everything I was looking for. As a sports mom it's always good to have music ready to go. This compact clip on speaker makes it possible and it's not bulky whatsoever! The quality of sound and volume is impressive. The charge lasts for a great amount of time.

Great sound.
Great sound, colour, good weight. Only one downside, the 'handle clip' is too small to attach high enough in the shower, the old one was deeper and fitted perfectly.

Awesome!🔥💯
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) The JBL Clip 5 is a compact and rugged Bluetooth speaker designed for people who want music on the go. Its standout feature is the built-in carabiner clip, which lets you easily attach it to a backpack, belt loop, or bike when traveling or hiking.  🔊 Sound Quality For such a small speaker, the sound is surprisingly powerful. It produces clear vocals and decent bass, especially at medium volume. While it won’t compete with larger speakers, it performs very well for outdoor use or casual listening. 🔋 Battery Life The speaker offers up to about 12 hours of playtime, and a “Playtime Boost” mode can extend it to around 15 hours by optimizing sound settings.  In real use, battery life may be shorter if you play music at very high volume. 💧 Durability The Clip 5 has an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, meaning it can survive rain, dust, or even accidental drops in water—great for beaches, hiking, or poolside use.  📱 Features • Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity for stable connection.  • Works with the JBL Portable app for updates and EQ settings.  • Auracast support lets you connect multiple compatible JBL speakers together for bigger sound.  👍 Pros • Very portable and lightweight • Strong sound for its size • Waterproof and durable • Convenient clip design 👎 Cons • Bass is limited compared to bigger speakers • Battery life drops faster at high volume ✅ Overall: The JBL Clip 5 is an excellent portable Bluetooth speaker for travel and outdoor activities, offering good sound, durability, and convenience in a very small package.

Perfectly honest I can't say as I can tell a difference between this and my JBL clip 4 Hopefully the clip does not break on this one and the charging port does not quit making a connection to where I cant charge it No more like the 4 did

Great speaker, ok logo.
The speaker is so good! I wish I knew that the personalization should have been in bigger font. The pictures do not show actual look. Close, but not 100% accurate. That’s probably my fault for picking a greyscale logo.

Don’t pay extra for the picture personalization
The speaker quality is great, but I’m sad over the quality of the picture I had paid extra for. The picture looked poor when it came it, but I wasn’t too worried about it because how good could the picture really come out on the porous surface of the speaker, fine, whatever. But now after only owning it for two weeks the picture is severely scratched up and coming off already with very simple use.

Thank you for your feedback on our JBL Clip 5. Our JBL Clip 3 featured a speakerphone with a built-in microphone, which was convenient for taking phone calls. In our recent Clip series like our JBL Clip 5 does not include a built-in microphone, as this model focuses on music playback. If you are looking for a portable speaker with a speakerphone, you might want to check out our JBL Go 2. Please note that this unit is currently out of stock, but you may be able to find it through our authorized third-party sellers.

Solid little speaker with great sound
Have had this for a couple weeks - this little speaker sounds great with surprisingly solid bass and crisp hi notes. The clip is great for securing to anything - the entire unit is solid and has enough weight that it’s easy to tell that it’s quality but light enough to take anywhere and stores easily. I use it on the golf course and around the yard when getting yard work done - the pairing process is easy and quick.

Love the personalization
I absolutely love that you can personalize the speaker. I wish I would have went with a brighter photo (one taken outside versus inside). The photo I went with wasn’t completely dark, but it appears dark on the speaker which is why I gave this a 3 star review. I wish they had a feature on there which flags certain photo specs for quality on brightness on what will be produced. I ordered 2 other speakers that turned out great.

What?!?
Came here specifically to write a review- we use our JBL (we call it “Jibble”) all the time and it’s awesome BUT we were recently a little over served and somehow this thing fell INTO a hot tub and was left overnight- got it out and it worked perfectly. Probably not the prescribed usage per JBL but wanted to pass the anecdote on to endorse a truly well made product!

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 together.
