JBL’s Rad Clip-On Bluetooth Speaker Is $20 Off

Are you looking for a A robust Bluetooth speaker ready for anything? The JBL Clip 5, named for its built-in locking hook, is currently marked down to just $60 at Amazon and Walmart in a variety of colors and finishes. That’s a cool 25% off and makes this compact Bluetooth speaker an attractive option for anyone who likes a little adventure.

Although the attached clip is the big draw, this little speaker offers a surprisingly large sound profile. In his review, our reviewer Ryan Waniata says it has “richer bass and midrange frequencies than expected.” This is good news for anyone who doesn’t want to compromise on sound quality just because they’re hanging off the edge of a rock wall or floating down a river. Better yet, you can use the JBL Portable app to adjust the profile based on your preferred genre.

It’s important to note that this little speaker is also IP67 certified, which is a pretty serious dust and water penetration rating. The 6 means it’s completely dustproof, so you can throw it on the beach without worrying about sand getting into the important parts, and the 7 means it can be completely submerged in water without causing any damage. Our reviewer even tested it in the shower without issue and clipped it to his belt while doing yard work, and the JBL never missed a beat.

The battery life of such a small device can’t keep up with that of larger Bluetooth speakers, but it still manages nearly 12 hours on a single charge, or up to 15 with Playtime Boost, an app-enabled feature that increases both volume and battery life. If you want to capture more than one, you can combine two to form a stereo pair, for the perfect music setup, even in the middle of nowhere.

If the JBL Clip 5 isn’t your speed, you can always check out some of our other favorite Bluetooth speakers, but this speaker offers something unique for adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts. At its full price of $80, it seems a little expensive, but a $20 discount makes it much more appealing.
