JBL Clip 5 Speaker

Credit: Amazon


Warm weather is finally here, and it deserves a proper soundtrack. Whether you’re headed to the beach, camping in the woods, or taking a bike ride, the JBL Clip 5 is a compact Bluetooth speaker that’s built to tag along. Its IP67 rating ensures it’s both waterproof and dustproof, making it suitable for any outdoor adventure this summer. At 38% off, it’s currently at its lowest price ever, according to price-trackers.

An IP67 rating means you can submerge it for up to 30 minutes in a meter of water, so this speaker isn’t ideal for long swims. The built-in carabiner clip can be hooked onto anything from a folding chair to a tent or backpack, and the ability to suspend it means you don’t have to risk damage by placing it on the ground.

Despite its small size and travel-friendly design, the JBL Clip 5 delivers clear audio with decent bass. While the volume is moderate, setting it to the highest volume may result in some distortion, and it’s not as loud as some of the best outdoor speakers with higher price tags. Compared to similarly priced speakers like Anker, reviewers often give JBL the edge for sound clarity. You can also sync two Clip 5 speakers using Auracast for an even fuller sound.

JBL Clip 5 speaker could be the right choice.
