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.

Fantastic speaker

This a fantastic speaker. I also have a Bose speaker of roughly the same size. The sound is much more vibrant and balanced in the JBL than in the Bose. I highly recommend the JBL Grip and recommend it well over the Bose.

Small but Mighty

This little speaker packs a punch. I received one as a gift and ordered a second immediatly after due to the connection feature. This speaker is small but mighty and is exactly what i was looking for. Perfect for backyard BBQs or a day at the beach/pool. Loud enough to jam to, small enough to fit in a bag and with the connectivity feature I can have zoned music instead of one massive bluetooth speaker cranked to 100!

Maybe I just had bad luck???

I bought this in march and had it personalized. Everything was okay the first few days and it had paint scratched off of it from a it taking a short fall off the coffee table. I noticed it doesn’t have 12 full hours of play time like it claims.Then by week two the button responses became delayed and my Bluetooth would take upwards of 30 seconds to chime and connect. Ultimately after troubleshooting and trying to reset it it dies completely and would not turn on or charge. I fear it was a faulty product and hope that was the case. I’m a long time JBL customer and this is the first time I was unhappy. Hopefully my replacement is better

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our JBL Grip has a playtime of up to 14 hours, which depends on the volume level and bass. Much like a phone battery when you brighten the screen. Connecting to a device should only take a few seconds unless it is pairing for the first time. For the charging issue, please use a different charging cable, power adapter, and, while it's extremely uncommon, try to use another wall outlet to be certain that the issue is not with the outlet. Also, sand and dirt can get into the product's charging port. Clean the charging port with compressed air. For further assistance, please contact our customer support.

Amazing clarity.

I bought the Grip a month ago, mainly for workshop vibes. I am so impressed with it, the bass and volume for its small size is amazing. Love It !!

No charger

Box does not say you need a charger cord and no charger cord is included inside. Also it doesn't tell you anywhere, even online, what kind of charger cord you need. Naturally it is not one that I actually have. Won't be buying any more products from this company.
1 reply from Customer Support team - 26 days ago
We appreciate your feedback. To reduce electronic waste, our JBL Grip and other newer JBL products don't include a charging cable. You may use any USB-C charging cable and power adapter with a power rating of at least 5 volts and 3 amps.

Can’t connect

So freaking disappointed, I bought this to go with my other JBL speakers for some stupid reason I’m unable to use it in party mode with my other speakers, so now I have this useless speaker that doesn’t connect to my other speakers. Why the heck with this company produce a speaker that is incompatible with it’s OWN other products
1 reply from Customer Support team - 2 months ago
We appreciate your review. Our JBL Grip offers a next-generation audio experience with Auracast™. Enjoy the freedom to share your music seamlessly with other Auracast™-enabled speakers. However, please note that it is not compatible with JBL speakers utilizing PartyBoost™.

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 - 2 months ago
Thanks for your feedback. We recommend adjusting the EQ settings and enhancing the bass using the JBL Portable app.
