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.

Wow what speaker
I got this JBL flip and I wasn’t sure what to expect being such a small speaker. I’m absolutely amazed at the amount of sound that this little thing emits. Very good bass and clarity on music. I haven’t had this at full volume as it is way too loud. I love that it’s water resistant and dust proof as this allows me to use it in all elements including at work. I would definitely recommend this speaker to anyone who wants to blast out tunes but not wanting to carry lumpy speakers around. The only downside I’ve found with this speaker is the light on the back is a tad bit limited but not a deal breaker as it’s only on the back but all in all im really impressed with it and would rate this speaker very highly. There is also a loop on the back that you can hang the speaker off any small hook

Battery lacking
It’s a great speaker “packs a punch” as they say, I’m docking two stars simply because it overheats and dies within two hours if I blast it, what’s the point of having a speaker you cant turn up all the way.

Great speaker for on the go
Let’s get straight to it. What a lovely bit of kit. The form factor is great. Fits great in the hand and has a handy loop to hook on to things. Is a decent weight without being too heavy. And in terms of sound performance, very impressed. The speaker came with some power so a quick press of the power button turned it on with a satisfying punchy welcome noise which bode well. Typical Bluetooth connection by holding the Bluetooth button down and pairing as you’d do with any other Bluetooth device. So far linked to my phone and laptop and is really impressive for size. I’ve only got a few basic Sonos speakers around the house and have already used this when doing laundry, in the bathroom and then also taken to work. The mobility of the device being the obvious selling point. It’s a shame it doesn’t come with any sort of charger or even a USB-C cable but most people will no doubt already have one lying around. Recommended.

Unrivalled portable speaker
I bought this speaker 2 weeks ago and it's been in use every day since, battery life is very impressive I haven't had to charge it since the initial first charge. The sound and clarity is better than I've ever heard from such a small speaker.

Fantastic little thing!
I was super happy when I got to try this speaker out; we are a JBL family and we love our earbuds. High quality electricals without the extortionate price tag, and this is no different. I was immediately impressed with how simple this was to set up as it connected quickly straight from the box. The accompanying app is great for customizing your device with personalized sound output preference and changing the light dynamics but the speaker works just fine without it. It has some incredible volume for such a portable little thing, and the sleek design fits nicely in our home in just about any setting. The only downside was that it doesn't come with a USB C charging cable, but most homes have several these days so I get the idea behind not including unnecessary items, and id you don't have one they're easy enough to pick one up. If you're in the market for a new portable speaker I highly recommend this little power house and I can't wait to use it on my travels next summer!

JBL Grip decent portable speaker
The JBL Grip is a surprisingly punchy little portable speaker. It’s compact, easy to carry, and perfect for taking your music anywhere—picnics, small parties, or even just chilling in your room. Sound For such a small speaker, the sound is impressive. The bass is solid, mids are clear, and it gets loud enough to fill a small space without distortion. Don’t expect Boombox-level volume, but for its size, it really delivers. Battery Battery life is decent—you can get a few hours of playback without constantly recharging. Perfect for short outings or casual use. Build & Design It’s reasonable size wise, lightweight, and has a rugged feel. Some versions are water-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about splashes at the pool or in the kitchen. Pros Medium size and portable Surprisingly good sound for its size Durable and some are water-resistant Easy to use Cons Not super loud for big parties Bass won’t blow you away Limited features Final Thoughts If you want a Backpack friendly speaker that still packs a punch and is easy to take anywhere, the JBL Grip is a solid choice. It’s simple, reliable, and fun for everyday listening.

Perfect flor family use
We bought the JBL Grip speaker for our downstairs space and it has quickly become one of our favourite gadgets in the house. From the start it was incredibly easy to set up. It connected straight to our phones without any problems and within minutes we were playing our favourite playlists in the kitchen and living area. The controls are simple and clear, so everyone in the family can use it without needing any instructions. The sound quality is outstanding. Music comes through crystal clear, whether it is soft background tunes while we cook or something livelier when we are tidying up or having friends over. The volume goes surprisingly high for such a compact speaker and the sound fills the room beautifully without ever becoming distorted. The battery life has been brilliant too. We often use it throughout the day and only need to charge it every few days, which makes it really convenient. It also looks smart and blends in nicely with the rest of the room. Overall, the JBL Grip has been an excellent addition to our home. It is reliable, easy to use, sounds amazing and lasts for ages between charges. We genuinely love it and would recommend it to any family looking for a quality speaker for everyday use.

Has a boom just not the 14hr power
I purchased this product as it looked like everything i was looking for. Received the item and the packaging didn't let down the hype. The product does have a good boom from it. Was loving the product for the first hour until the battery was dead. Charged for the required time. Have the music bouncing for another hour and its dead again. Guess the 14 hour life time isnt true sadly

Battery lasted 1 1/2 hrs at high volume.
Battery life is disappointing. I use 2 of them for my dance classes and need them to be at a high volume (from other online reviews I guess it drains the battery if the volume is high) and I am not able to get through one night of classes which is about 3-4 hours. They died after an hour and a half after being fully charged. I would not have bought them if I would have known that prior.

Thanks for your feedback on our JBL Grip. The published up-to-playtime is the maximum battery time you will get when listening at background levels. As you turn up the volume, the playtime will be reduced, much like a phone battery when you brighten the screen. The same goes for source material. Music with more bass will also reduce playtime. It is possible that the battery is working correctly, but depletes more quickly when the volume is very loud and/or the bass has been boosted. Please try to charge the battery to 100% and then listen to music without any bass boosted, and at a very low volume. If the battery lasts close to the published up-to-playtime, the battery is working fine. However, if you get less than 90% of the published spec, this likely means that the battery is losing its capacity. Please contact us for further assistance.

Powerful while little
The JBL Grip has quickly become my go-to speaker for all my adventures. Its compact design means I can easily toss it in my backpack without worrying about space, and the rugged build gives me peace of mind when I’m out hiking or camping. What I love most is how surprisingly powerful the sound is for such a small speaker. Whether I’m chilling by the lake or having a BBQ with friends, the clarity and bass really elevate the atmosphere. I can crank up the volume without any distortion, which is a huge plus. Bluetooth connectivity is seamless; I can connect it to my phone in seconds, and the battery life is impressive—I've gone on weekend trips without needing to recharge. Plus, the built-in microphone is handy for taking calls while I’m busy cooking or setting up my campsite. The grip feature is a thoughtful addition; I can easily attach it to my bike or bag, ensuring it stays secure when I’m on the move. Plus, knowing it's water and dust resistant means I can take it to the beach without fear. In short, the JBL Grip isn’t just a speaker; it's a reliable companion for my outdoor activities, enhancing every moment with great sound and convenience. I can’t imagine my outings without it!

Great little speaker
I love my JBL Grip speaker! The sound is super clear with great bass for such a small size. It’s tough, easy to carry around, and perfect for trips or workouts. The battery lasts all day, so I never worry about it dying mid-song. Definitely worth it!

Great compact speaker
I was sent this JBL Grip portable speaker to try in exchange for my honest opinion. I was looking forward to trying it as our portable speaker broke a few months ago. This is a very compact speaker but that doesn’t affect the sound and I was pleasantly surprised with the power it has- I’ve not had the volume turned up to max yet but it still provides a loud, clear sound with a good amount of bass. Connection was easy and as soon as the speaker is turned on and I play music on my phone it connects automatically. There is also the app which connected with no trouble. In the app you can change the colour of the lights and select what style sound you want as well as customising these settings. The design of the speaker is smart and stylish and it is waterproof, dustproof and drop-proof which will be good when using the speaker in the garden in the summer with my small people splashing around in the paddling pool and some peace of mind in case they get hold of it at any point! Am thoroughly pleased with this speaker and recommend it as a handy, portable speaker.
