Great speakers for Golf

reallyskinnyguy45 . 8 days ago

I frequently use my Clip when I golf on weekends. It's been great. It clips to my bag and I can hear it clearly without disturbing others around me. I've been using it for months and haven't needed to recharge it.

Nice

Duquette . 10 days ago

Long battery life more volume and Bass sound than my JBL Clip 2 that I loved. Not a massive difference, but definitely noticeable plus the added bonus of IP67 water resistant. Noticeable weight difference without being cumbersome what so ever.

Great speaker BUT the clip is not so great.

GMetz . 10 days ago

I received this speaker as a gift. The first time I used it the clip broke off. Super unfortunate since there aren't any replacement parts available for this speaker.

Poor battery, shuts off

Bob9264 . 11 days ago

The battery is extremely poor on this unit. You will be lucky to get 3 hrs. as opposed to the 12 hrs. they claim. Also shuts off for no reason. Have used it only three times and I hate it already

Perfect anniversary gift

Anniversary gift . 18 days ago

I bought a pair of customized clip 5 as an anniversary gift for my wife and me, and I am so glad I did. The battery life is superb and easily blows my old Clip 2 and 3 out of the water. The best feature by far is the ability to sync them together. Placing them in different corners of the room creates a fantastic, immersive sound system. Highly recommended!

Is a waste of money

Andy2424 . 21 days ago

My JBL Clip 5 randomly turns on, then powers off. When I plug it in, it immediatly powers on, light turns red for 4 seconds, then powers off and cannot be turned back on.

Disappointed with battery life

Phil2123 . 21 days ago

I bought a pair of the Clip 5s to use while playing golf. The aura cast and sound are great…the battery life is poor at best. I’ve always loved JBL products, but the Clip 5s are terribly disappointing.

Can the speaker stand on its own on a flat surface? Or must it be clipped to something?

Answer from Customer Support8 months

Thanks for your question. Our JBL Clip 5 can not stand upright on its own as it doesn't have a flat surface base, it is designed to be clipped or laid flat when placed on a table.

Can I use 2 of them as rear surround speakers for my LG TV of 2025 with Auracast and can they stay connected with the mains through usbc all the time?

Answer from Customer Support8 months

Thanks for your question. Yes, our JBL Clip 5 can remain connected to a power outlet via USB‑C for charging, but while it can form a stereo pair through Auracast using the JBL Portable app, this feature only works when paired with a phone or tablet, since the app is not available for TVs. So, even though our Clip 5 can connect to your LG TV via Bluetooth, you won’t be able to stereo pair them directly through the TV.
