About this item

Highlights

  • Bold JBL Pro Sound: The JBL Grip may be small enough to hold in one hand, but it packs bold JBL Pro Sound. With AI Sound Boost, it analyzes music in real time, using an algorithm to optimize output for bigger sound with less distortion.
  • Up to 14 hours of playtime: Keep the mood going for 12 hours on a single charge—plus an extra 2 hours with Playtime Boost when the vibes are too good to stop.
  • Ambient light: The speaker’s back panel features an integrated ambient light with unique themes and color options, so you can set the mood to match your mix. Use the JBL Portable app to fine-tune the brightness and lock in your preferred look.
  • Waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof: We designed the JBL Grip to handle the bumps and bruises of everyday fun. Along with its waterproof and dustproof IP68 rating, it's also drop-proof—built to keep playing even after a 1-meter drop onto concrete.
  • Multi-speaker connection with Auracast™: Want to share the vibes with the crew? With Auracast™, we can easily stereo pair two Grip speakers for a wider soundstage or connect multiple JBL Auracast™-enabled speakers to fill the space with the same playlist.
  • JBL Portable app: Customize the Grip’s sound with a 7-band EQ, light color options, and intensity, and get updates and support directly from the JBL Portable app. That way, we can always match the sound and vibe to our mood, wherever we are.
  • Recycled plastic and fabric, plus FSC certified paper packaging: Built with post-consumer recycled plastic and fabric for the speaker grille, so we get big sound with less impact to the planet. It's also packaged in FSC-certified paper printed with soy ink.

Description

Easy to grab and easy to hold, the JBL Grip is the speaker that’s always within reach.

The JBL Grip is powerful for its size. JBL Grip may be compact, but its pro sound is big—punchy bass and crystal-clear highs. Whether it’s setting the vibe for mindful morning stretches or soundtracking lazy beach days, the JBL Grip is our go-to.

The built-in ambient light on the back panel adapts to the moment, so you can set the mood for chill date nights and spontaneous hangs. Use the convenient side-panel control button to switch between light themes, so the mood is always right whether you're winding down or turning up.

Did we mention it’s super tough? The JBL Grip is built to handle anything. With an industry-leading IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating, it goes wherever we do. Its drop-proof design means it can survive a hard fall onto concrete—no party fouls here.

All that, plus up to 14 hours of playtime with Playtime Boost. When friends roll through, we’re using Auracast™ to stereo pair two Grips for instant surround sound. Why stop there? We can connect as many JBL Auracast™-enabled speakers as we’ve got for an all-out sound experience.

Solo chillin’ or vibing with the crew—the JBL Grip is as flexible as we are.

Look elsewhere

Despite online reviews saying the contrary, the sound quality is garbage. Very little depth of sound due to poor bass. Everything you listen to sounds tinny and flat
1 reply from Customer Support team - 25 days ago
Thanks for your feedback. We recommend adjusting the EQ settings and enhancing the bass using the JBL Portable app.

Love the speaker sounds great and lighting as well. The only thing is it does not come with a charging cord. Luckily I had another cord to something else or I would have had to buy one. Other than that very happy with it

okay, not great

I replaced a flip 5, which quit working, (wouldn't hold a charge) and the grip does not sound as good as the flip by far, so I'm disappointed. I would send the flip 5 in for repair if you do that type of thing...I used them for background music in my qi gong and meditation classes and occasionally want a higher volume for resound in the room.

Small in size, large in sound

I bought this to go with my JBL Boombox 4 so I could sync up and have boom box on my dock and the grip on my floating cooler. I have done test runs and the syncing works effortlessly and the sound of the grip sounds great by itself or when syncing up. I am so happy to finally found these and best off they are waterproof. I also love how I was able to personalize the design, that was super easy and I it makes me want to design and buy more to add them to the fun and amazing sound. looking forward to the summer and floating fun with my summer tunes blasting.

specifications hint towards false battery life claim.

Great sound quality. Excellent software support with a fun feature I have yet to test of being able to synchronize multiple individual speakers for the same audio being played. It specifies only having 2500 mAh of battery life at 3.85 v and running upwards of 16 Watts. With this being said the battery life is FAR FAR less than advertised. Roughly 30 minutes to an hour compared to what they state, which is most likely if you ran it at the lowest volume and no lighting. We will see if I stand corrected. Im going to run it until it dies at half charge and if it lasts longer than the specifications lead me to believe I will change my review.

Fab colour!

So pleased with my speaker! It was recommended by my son and I’m so pleased that I listened! The sound is amazing, it will be used a lot, for work and home. I went for red to be different - love it!

Fullos

Meglepően jó minőségű és erős hangja van zárt térben. Az auracast lehetőséget még nem próbáltuk de nagy lehetőséget érzünk benne, akár kinti használathoz, akár stereo filmezéshez, de ahhoz is hogy két külön helyiségben végre ugyanaz a zene szóljon egyszerre kábelek nélkül.

Amazing speaker

I bought this speaker to surprise my daughter for Christmas. Needless to say she was ecstatic. We used a picture she took at a concert and it is by far her favorite gift. Also, the sound quality is amazing.
