JBLClip 4 - Portable Mini Bluetooth Speaker, big audio and punchy bass, integrated carabiner, IP67 waterproof and dustproof, 10 hours of playtime, speaker for home, outdoor and travel (Black)

I bought this for my teenage daughter. She loves it, it’s a great size because she can pop it in her purse and take it with her. The Bluetooth works good. She has not gotten water on it so I’m not sure if it’s waterproof. It’s a cute pink and good quality. Good value for the money spent. Great sound!

This is a great little speaker. I mostly use it in the shower, but it's easy to take just about anywhere. It's connects quickly and has never disconnected on me in the ~7 months I've had it. The battery life is fantastic too--I think I've only charged it a handful of times, and that was more of a "just in case" vs. running out of battery.My one complaint would be that I wish it were possible to adjust the bass/treble/etc. Especially since I use it in the shower, the bass can get to be a little much, so I wish I could turn it down. Still, this is great for the price. Reliable and durable.

I love this speaker so much!! It is super cute, and you can take it with you anywhere. We have one at work and I really liked the sound it made so I got one for myself. My younger brother has one too and he loves his. It is worth the price and it’s super easy to connect your phone to. Overall super functional, and built great. Also if you have the usbc cord then you can use that to charge it. Which is great!! If you are thinking about buying one do it!!

This speaker is great, it works so good! I love JBL. It's loud and very clear. Battery last a long time. Connects to Bluetooth easily. Perfect size, not to bulky. No stains due to it being a darker color. Definitely worth the money.

I bought this one last summer to take it to the beach, easy to connect to your phone, charge last very long. A convenient size it sounds pretty loud. Very good range.

The vast majority of the reviews I read before buying this led me to believe that the sound quality was so similar to the Clip 3 that it wasn't worth upgrading. My Clip 3 has been a great speaker—I'll probably keep finding uses for it until it won't hold a charge anymore, hopefully not anytime soon—but honestly...I really wanted to upgrade because it's one of the last devices I own with a Micro USB connector for charging.Anyways, the Clip 4 has turned out to be a noticeably better speaker. Reading over JBL's own writings about the Clip 3 and 4, it seems like version 4 incorporates a passive radiator (like their larger portable speakers), which explains the much improved bass and low-midrange clarity. It won't fool anyone at high volumes, but for low volume playback in a quiet space—which is what I always used my Clip 3 for anyways—it does manage to sound a bit larger than its size suggests it should.My Clip 3 is a noisy speaker; with no audio playing, there's always some low-level hissing that's clearly audible if it's close enough to the ear. It also seems to impart a barely perceptible crunchy distortion onto everything I play through it. The Clip 4, on the other hand, is dead silent when nothing is playing, and doesn't have that gritty veil of distortion over the upper-mids and treble frequencies; possibly a side effect of the 3.5mm TRS input being removed.The titular clip on version 4 has a slightly wider opening, and the larger space inside the clip makes it easier to maneuver onto some things I couldn't get the Clip 3's carabiner over. At the narrowest point, the Clip 4's opening measures about 5/8" wide, only slightly larger than the Clip 3's 9/16" opening.Now for the downsides:The Clip 4's power and pairing buttons are much easier to press (i.e., accidentally) than the recessed buttons on the side of the Clip 3. Not a huge issue if it's sitting or hanging somewhere solid and stationary, but I could imagine that it might turn itself on/off or go into pairing mode if it's swinging around on a backpack or something. I put mine into pairing mode by mistake twice while handling it to measure the carabiner opening.Of course, I have to mention the loss of the analog input. I admit that I rarely ever use(d) it on the Clip 3, but it was indispensable when I needed it in a pinch.The USB Type-C port does not have a dust cover; another omission from the Clip 3's design. I never cared for it, but it's worth mentioning if you use yours in dusty or wet environments. Maybe not a huge issue, since the Clip 4 carries an IP67 rating.Finally, the carabiner clip just doesn't feel as sturdy. Version 4 appears to use some kind of plastic hinge, where the Clip 3's was made of anodized aluminum like the rest of the hook. It may well hold up for years just like the previous version, but only time will tell.Overall, The Clip 4 is a respectable step-up in sound quality, with a few odd design changes from version 3 that may or may not make it less reliable, depending on how you intend to use it. For my use case—quietly listening to music and podcasts in bed, or during power outages when I can't use my hi-fi—it fits the bill perfectly so far.Oh, and one last thing: this "Grey" color scheme is properly weird. The aluminum parts are a kind of golden orange, the plastic clip and button accents are what I can only describe as "puce," and the JBL logo is some kind of desaturated teal color. It looks so strange that it's almost bad, but I love it.

The JBL Clip 4 has quickly become one of my go-to portable speakers, and the vibrant Pink color adds a fun, bold touch to its already impressive design. Whether you’re heading to the beach, hiking, or just lounging at home, this little speaker is a reliable companion. Let’s break down what makes the JBL Clip 4 stand out.Design:First off, the JBL Clip 4 has a compact and rugged design. The pink color gives it a fresh and trendy look, perfect for anyone who wants a speaker that stands out. The built-in carabiner is a game-changer—it’s easy to clip the speaker to a backpack, belt loop, or gear, making it ultra-portable. It’s also IP67 waterproof and dustproof, which means it can handle splashes, rain, and even a bit of dirt without skipping a beat.Sound Quality:For its size, the Clip 4 delivers impressive sound. The bass is surprisingly rich, and the midrange is clear and balanced, making it ideal for most genres of music. The treble could be a little sharper at times, but overall, the sound is loud enough to fill a small space or outdoor area. It’s not going to replace a full-sized speaker, but for something that fits in the palm of your hand, the sound quality is very good.Battery Life:With 10 hours of playtime on a single charge, the Clip 4 is more than capable of getting you through a day of outdoor adventures or a few backyard parties. It uses a USB-C charging port, which is a welcome upgrade from previous models, offering faster charging and greater convenience.Connectivity:The Bluetooth range is solid, allowing you to stay connected up to about 30 feet. Pairing the Clip 4 with your phone or tablet is quick and easy, and the connection is stable. There’s no lag or stutter during music playback, and you can even take calls through the speaker thanks to its built-in microphone.Verdict:Overall, the JBL Clip 4 in Pink is a fantastic option if you’re looking for a compact, portable Bluetooth speaker that doesn’t sacrifice sound quality for size. The bright pink hue adds a fun element to the otherwise tough, utilitarian design. It’s perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, casual listeners, or anyone who just wants a stylish, no-fuss speaker that goes anywhere.If you’re in the market for a portable speaker that’s durable, sounds great for its size, and adds a pop of color to your gear, the JBL Clip 4 Pink is definitely worth considering.
