JBL Clip 4 Portable Speaker - Blue CLIP4BLU review

The Clip 4 sounds better, works better, and is more durable than the already-handy Clip 3. Is it the best Bluetooth speaker out there? No, and in fact, I own two speakers that easily outdo it when it comes to sound quality: the Megaboom 3 , and the wondrous Bowers & Wilkins T7.

JBL’s Clip 4 is the best ultra compact waterproof speaker worth your attention. The palm-sized gadget has a cool and versatile design, headlined by the Clip product family’s signature carabiner.

JBL Clip 4 Portable Speaker - Blue review

I bought this to use at work, assembling vehicles, moving every 1/2 hour. The sound is good, I'm not in a loud environment. But the volume was at 3/4 and above for less than 4 hours and the battery was drained. The thing that was frustrating is the power button location. Since I was moving it 2-4 times an hour, the habit is to grab and go. When you do, the power button is almost always hit and the unit shuts off. I had to make sure I grabbed the carabiner. If you're looking for a small personal speaker, it had good sound and should serve you well. If you are in a louder environment, you may need more power and longer battery life.

JBL Clip 4 Review

The JBL Clip 4 delivers crisp, rich audio, but its best features are its waterproof build and a built-in carabiner, making it a Bluetooth speaker you can take anywhere. JBL seems to make a portable Bluetooth speaker for every budget and need, some of which are massive, but the Clip series has always been about being easy to take anywhere. The new $69.95 JBL Clip 4 has a built-in carabiner and a fully waterproof build. It’s meant for the great outdoors, and delivers solid sound without weighing you down. As you might expect, a speaker this size and price isn’t going to deliver a bass bonanza, nor does it pack a ton of extra features. But the Clip 4 gets the important stuff right, delivering crisp, rich audio from a waterproof enclosure, making it a solid, budget-friendly portable option.A Go-Anywhere Design Measuring 5.3 by 3.4 by 1.8 inches (HWD) and weighing in at roughly half a pound, the Clip 4 is available in nine color options—some patterned—including black, blue, camo, gray, pink, and red. The rounded front and back panels are covered in grille that protects a single 40mm, 5-watt driver. A built-in carabiner frames the top portion of the s...

JBL Clip 4 Portable Speaker - Blue CLIP4BLU review

The JBL Clip 4 is a portable Bluetooth speaker for the masses, and it makes some very important improvements over the popular Clip 3, namely the improved carabiner system and sound quality. JBL added USB-C charging to the Clip 4 and nixed the headphone jack, so no wired playback here.

JBL Clip 4 VS Clip 3

Pros Sound quality is definitely better than the previous CLIP 3 Good battery life Shape is better with more no slip added Cons Exposed charge port meaning easier for dust and sand to get inside Charge cable has changed and is unique so means I can only use the cable provided and will make getting another difficult if lost Buttons getting knocked easily compared to the sunk back clip 3 buttons. Price isn’t bad but could be a little less. So basically the clip 3 all round it better in my opinion but if your chasing purely slightly better sound quality then the clip 4 is better choice
