"this thing gets loud and clear to beat all the noise around me."
"The sound signature was a much bassier type and after a full day of usage at work I learned to love the sound signature. ... In terms of sound I like the punchiness of the JBL."
"even as max volume I could not hear any distortion. ... And I can confirm that volume on the JBL can go much higher where the Kilo will start to distort as you reach max volume."

"Throughout an 8 hour usage at work, not once did it ever disconnect for me. Which was the only reason why I stepped away from the Kilo."

"The built-in clip is miles ahead and was easy to use. Its larger form factor allowed me to detach it from my belt loop and attached it to the machines I was driving."

"JBL app support! This was huge for me. As soon as I turned on the device and connected, I downloaded the app and it connected right away and prompted for a firmware update! Thanks to the app support you could also change the eq to a setting that you desire. Since I tried and fell in love with the JBL signature eq settings, I just left it at that."

"Those things are overpriced in comparison!"
Gen 3 B&O is out now but, I'm still rocking the 2nd Gen for potable great sound, and it's good enough for under $140 on Amazon renewed, and I'm using my JBL Partybox Club 120 for my whole home theater setup in my Den connected to my JBL Clip 5, and a JBL Go 4 linked in Auracast and it works well all together!
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Which JBL Speaker is the best? ->I recently got the JBL Clip 5, noticeably better then my Klein AEPJS2. Depending on the site, the M12 comes out though. The AEPJS3 and M18 Bluetooth Jobsite Speaker stay at home, I definitely have a speaker collecting problem lol. If the whole gang is cool, the 2 speakers above can be linked with others.
r/Construction • Best Bluetooth speaker ->I avoid click-bait titles, but having spent a lot of time with the newer Clip 5 and Go 4 from JBL, I was honestly shocked by how well the Select 4 Go performs comparatively, given its $29 price point. Build quality falls a little short of JBL, and the multi-speaker pairing isn't quite as extensive, but still - I've tested a fair amount of speakers, and I'd have a hard time recommending something else for a budget-focused buyer looking for something like the Go 4.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Soundcore Select 4 Go Review: The Best Budget Speaker? ->The JBL Clip 5 would be perfect for extreme sports. It’s compact, rugged, and waterproof with an IPX7 rating, so it’s built to handle harsh outdoor environments. Plus, it has a carabiner that makes it easy to clip onto your gear while you're out on the slopes.
r/BestBluetoothSpeaker • What Portable Bluetooth Speaker Do You Recommend? ->Absolutely! The JBL Clip 5 is built to withstand tough conditions. It’s not only waterproof but also dustproof, making it resistant to the elements. It’s rugged enough to survive drops and rough handling, which is ideal for active adventures
r/BestBluetoothSpeaker • What Portable Bluetooth Speaker Do You Recommend? ->Yes, despite its compact design, the JBL Clip 5 delivers excellent sound with punchy bass. It's engineered for high quality audio, ensuring your music sounds great no matter where you are, even in outdoor environments.
r/BestBluetoothSpeaker • What Portable Bluetooth Speaker Do You Recommend? ->I'm also trying to figure out which one to pick but it seems that no one responded LOL. I watched a review for the kilo and they said it's pretty good but it depends on the genre of music. it said for simple things it's able to play well but if you were to listen to metal or rock the melodies and the instruments would get confused and it might sound jumbled. so I'm trying to figure out if the clip 5 does that at all. because if it does then I'm just going to go with the kilo
r/portablespeakers • JBL Clip 5 vs Skullcandy Kilo: Which is better? Any opinions? ->i did get the kilo and it's honestly not the best. i love the battery life. lasts for days but the sound quality isn't good. especially if there's songs with quieter notes, you can't hear it. wish I would've gotten the JBL clip 😔
r/portablespeakers • JBL Clip 5 vs Skullcandy Kilo: Which is better? Any opinions? ->Charge has more bass. Flip is lighter more portable. One of my favorite speaker of all time is the JBL Clip 4. But the 5 is better because the power button doesn’t get hit by accident like the 4. Smaller speaker but it sounds great and extremely portable and great battery life.
r/JBL • Which Bluetooth portable speaker? ->I would definitely return it. I'm on my first foray into bluetooth speakers and got the JBL Clip 5 cause it was on sale at Microcenter, but the sound got distorted a lot and was terrible. Heard about the Costco sale and went in yesterday, I am beyond happy with the sound and quality the Soundcore Boom V2 has. The bass for such a small speaker is amazing. I haven't pushed it to 100% yet to see if it sounds terrible.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Costco Deals ->Love my stereo Clip 5s in the bathroom
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Pocket (mini) Size Portable Speaker for Outdoor Use? ->Anker Soundcore Motion Plus, Earfun Uboom L, Tribit Stormbox Micro 2, Bose Soundlink Micro, JBL Clip 5,
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Bluetooth speaker of all time ->i've had a wonderboom and i prefer the JBL or the Anker
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Bluetooth speaker of all time ->I meant the JBL clip 5 for example is 7w at a smaller size, JBL is a reputable company. I know many false speakers claim crap. But I stick by JBL I have many of there products
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What small speaker do you recommend? ->The clip 5 is 7w and the 4 is a older model with a 5W same power as many others,
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What small speaker do you recommend? ->Two JBL Clip 5’s in stereo mode with the silicon cover that lets them stand upright. Endgame portable true stereo.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Pocket (mini) Size Portable Speaker for Outdoor Use? ->Yes it has way more bass and can become a stereo pair.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Pocket (mini) Size Portable Speaker for Outdoor Use? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
