JBL Clip 4 – Mini Portable Bluetooth Speaker
hook design for portable, waterproof & dustproof rating: IP67, battery life: up to 10 hours of playtime, power rated: 5 watts RMS, Bluetooth 5.1, rich JBL Original Pro Sound
Small and portable Bluetooth speakers are coming. Are you looking for small gadgets for listening to music? Do you want to hear songs with nothing sitting in the ears? The JBL Clip 4 is a small portable Bluetooth speaker and it may be a good option. It’s affordable portable Bluetooth speaker and decent sound quality with lightweight lets you easily take on-the-go to anywhere.
JBL Clip 4 is the fourth-gen on the Clip line of the JBL speakers. Its shape is rounded square and relatively flat. There is a carabiner hook on the top that allows you can clip the speaker onto your backpack, belt, or trousers while you traveling. It’s a pretty lightweight, just 239 grams only. With its small size and lightweight lets you can easily hold it with one hand. The JBL Clip 4 is available in several colors.
On the front, there is a large JBL logo and three control buttons, volume down, play/pause, and volume up respectively. You can skip to the next track by double-pressing the “play/pause” button. Unfortunately, it can’t back to the previous song. The Clip4 has dedicated power on/off and Bluetooth buttons on the side. When you pair the devices, it has a nice chime play to let you know. Including when you increase the volume, the chime will play as well.
The JBL Clip 4 speaker comes with good build quality and is quite impressive. The main housing of the speaker is wrapped in tight netting. The rear of the speaker has rubber bases for placing it on the floor horizontally and preventing the speaker from moving while you are listening to music. The built-in carabiner hook is durable. Allows you to safely hang it on your backpack.
According to its specs, the JBL Clip 4 has an IP67 dustproof and waterproof rating. Theoretically, it can submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. For a waterproof speaker with compact and well-built with a sturdy hook as well as an IPX7 waterproof rating, consider the OontZ Clip shower speaker.
10 hours, that is its specs. But in real usage, the battery life can vary depending on your usage character. The most important factor is how loud the volume is. So your playtime for a single full charge may vary some. However; if you forget to turn off the speaker, it will automatically turn off after 20 minutes with no play music. This feature will be useful for conserving battery life. The charging type is USB-C and the company provides a USB-C charging cable in the box.
These portable speakers come with Bluetooth 5.1 version and provide an impressive range. The Bluetooth signal is stable and fast connection.
This small speaker can reproduce clear vocals and music. The mids are well-balanced but the bass is not deep and also not much strong, due to its size being quite small. As such, the JBL Clip 4 doesn’t offer a perfect response to hip-hop and R&B music like larger speakers such as Monster Adventure MAX. However; it can offer the right amount of impact and give the sound like bass guitars enough to be heard.
The JBL Clip 4 has a sweet character that is unique to the singer’s voice both male and female. The vocals and the music like the guitar and piano are clear. These sounds give the feeling of moving slightly behind.
When talking about its soundstage, the JBL Clip 4 does not provide much wide soundstage. However; when you place it flat on its back with the logo facing up, it has amazing directivity, giving in a spacious and natural-sounding soundstage.
Personally, I think the Clip 4 speaker is suited for Jazz genres or genres that are not too bass. This mini speaker comes with 5 watt RMS and it does not make a very loud sound. So it’s not ideal for parties or large rooms. Because it cannot make a loud sound throughout the room.
