JBL Clip 2 Speaker (Black)

The JBL Clip 2 is a budget-friendly Bluetooth speaker that delivers solid audio performance in a supremely portable, outdoor-friendly design.

• +

  Powerful audio performance for the size. Waterproof. Speakerphone functionality. Built-in audio cable for wired listening.

• -

  Track navigation button can't skip backward. Not for those seeking big bass response.

In the end, JBL Clip 2 is a worthy successor. With the improved design and waterproofing alone, it’s already more attractive than the first gen. Although, the bass, like before, is still wanting due to the small driver and lack of dedicated woofer. For its size, we can’t expect so much.

  Pocketable, Improved design and materials, Waterproofed (IPX7), Loud volume

  Average bass

Budget options don't have to be terrible, and the Clip 2 is a great example of that. Though the small size means that it has a somewhat average sound quality, it's still more than good enough for taking it with you on your next adventure.

  Lacking in the low end

If you’re looking for an ultraportable Bluetooth speaker that costs less than $100, the Clip 2 is the best option. It’s waterproof, has good battery life and sounds great. Other ultraportables usually falter when it comes to sound quality, but the Clip 2 delivers nearly as much fidelity as the $100...

  Nothing...even the price point is spot on!

JBL's Clip has long been a favorite of ours, offering good sound in a small, portable package — both 2014's original Clip and last year's Clip+ earned our high recommendations. While the Clip+ added splashproof capabilities, the new Clip 2 is fully IPX7 waterproof.…

Minor niggles aside, the Clip 2 sounds great, and is easy to carry around and use just about anywhere. The fact that it’s waterproof and can pair with a second speaker sweetens the deal, and this makes for a great gift – even for someone who already owns a set of speakers.

This little speaker is a whole lot more than cute. Get the full details on this bundle of musical joy in our JBL Clip 2 Review.

Had the clip+. Loved it but battery didn't last long. Recently purchased the clip2 and love it even more! Battery lasts all day and the sound impresses everyone around me to the point that they go run and get one the next day.

Excelente sound quality for the size, very good battery life between charges, great design with well positioned soft to the touch rubberized switches easy to command with one hand!Loved the strong "carabiner" style clip! Bottom line: great deal!

  Everything just well made and perfect!

  None

And--I was still surprised at how good this little thing sounded. I got it for my wife to use with her I-phone. Actually has great sound for what it is. Much better than expected. Recommended!

I tested many others of similar size and none are as loud or full. Though the lowes are not as full as bigger speaker, this still produces at least twice that of any other compatible speaker I found.

This water proof speaker is super loud and clear and it works great in the shower allowing you to rock out and answer calls all soaped up. Also stays connected quite a distance from the phone.

I bought this for my 11 year old who loves to listen to music in the bathroom. He uses it every day in the shower. The speaker is clear and loud for its size. He is happy with it.

Works great for the kids in the shower.
