3 thing I immediately don't like about the clip 4
I used to own a clip 3 and loved it. So I purchased a clip 4. The sound seems better on the clip 4 but right out of the box I don't like 3 things immediately. 1: I don't like that there is no dust cover for the charging port. I don't care if you say it's "dust" proof, I work in construction and I'm going to be very upset if it gets clogged with a bunch of crap other than dust and I can't charge it. 2: I don't like that the power and Bluetooth buttons aren't concaved anymore, they are raised so they are way to easy to hit the button turning it off or the Bluetooth which is just annoying. 3: the charging cable is way to short. I like the clip 3 design better.

Ideal small speaker
Purchased because it was advertised as compact and durable with good sound quality. I t measured up in all of those points. Excellent for the price.

Better clip but the older model had more function
I'm pretty displeased with this. I had an older model that worked better, it connected for phone calls which was the main reason I purchased. This newer version has no mic/phone audio so I can't make phone calls while riding my bike. I wish I had known this before buying. It also doesn't tell me the battery life of the speaker on my phone which is the only device I have it connected to. The sound is ok. The rubber bumpers began peeling off immediately and are almost all gone

Powerful sound on the go; Light and compact design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely LOVE the JBL Clip 4!! The design is compact and light, but the sound quality is absolutely amazing. All genres of music sound amazing on this! The amount of bass that comes out of the Clip 4 is truly impressive! However, the bass does not drown out vocals, or make them sound muffled or distorted. All aspects of the song are crisp and clear.
The "clip switch" is easy to depress, making it quick and convenient to clip it on my bike, then to my backpack/bag. I've even clipped it on the towel rack in the bathroom to have some music while I shower. The sound is powerful and isn't easily drowned out by outside noise, even while on the bike trail.
The Clip 4 has easy to locate volume control buttons, but volume can also be controlled via Bluetooth. Connecting to Bluetooth was easy with no issues.
I haven't fully tested the 10 hour battery life. But even listening to music through the Clip 4, for a few hours, I still have ample battery life available.
I 100% recommend getting the Clip 4 if you want quality sound on the go, in a lightweight, compact speaker.

Less features
I bought a jbl clip 3, been using it for years, but the battery is sadly no longer holding a charge or charging. So when i came looking for a new one, i figure upgrading to the jbl clip 4 wasnt a bad idea, same price i paid for the old one. And then as i was trying it out, i come to find they removed features the previous model had. No more phone calls, just audio. No long displays battery life percentage in bluetooth menu. Their "waterproof" is now like phones, no flap to cover the port, just cant charge it until the port dries out. The only apprehension i had about buying it, based on reviews and design was the sensitive buttons. But thats the one thing i haven't had happened. Companies need to stop making new models with less features than the old models. Might as well be selling a downgrade.

Big Sound Small Speaker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, this is the loudest portable speaker I have ever used/owned. The big sound that comes from such a small unit is incredible, the clarity of sound is as good as my big surround sound system and it holds a charge for a long time, never died on me! Love the clip feature, great for handbag, backpack or other uses. Physically it's very durable, this speaker survived a car wreck (me too) where car was totaled, I was surprised it was not in pieces like so many other items. It's a great speaker, easy to use, would make a great gift for anyone.

Literally the best and industrable speaker
Okay, let me start with I treated this like absolute crap. I LEFT OUTSIDE FOR 6 MONTHS. I left it outside in this Texas Son, that destroys furniture, rain, under the sprinklers, and it still works and holds a charge. I cannot describe how great of a speaker this thing is it is covered in paint dirt grime, and still works and has great sound quality and bass. I don’t think I will ever buy a different speaker brand because of the quality of JBL. Sure some of the rubber is peeling up, but that’s not anything to be mad about. I cannot stress this enough. It held a charge for over six months. I will almost buy JBL speakers from now on
