Could use some tone adjustment capability

Connects easily to both my phone (Pixel 8) and my old iPod Touches (3rd and 6th Gens). Sound is excellent. Only wish is that I could change the tone as there is a lot of bass on this unit and it overpowers some songs, so being able to boost the treble or midrange via some fixed selections would be nice. Overall, though, a very good response range for such a small speaker and it'll get a lot of use. Recommended.

great speaker BUT .. i use this primarily outside attached to my golf bag to listen to tunes while playing .. initially it was good battery lasted whole round 4-5 hours. i always charge it after each round .. but after the 3rd round now it will not last past 2 hours.. it is cold out but i cant see why this is not lasting at least 3 hours in cold weather. I was contemplating using it clipped to my backpack for skiing but looks like that wont work . how is it that this is advertised as a up to 12 hours speaks when it cants last 2-3 hours outside?

Great speaker but the charging cable is inadequate

I enjoy using the JBL Clip 5 and it works great. I am giving it a four star rating because it came with a very short usb-a to usb-c charging cable. It would so much better if the cable was usb-c to usb-c.

Convinced this speaker is indestructible!! I work in construction and due to my own negligence, the speaker fell into 3 gallons of paint today. I knew that the speaker was waterproof so with cat reflex I retrieved the speaker, cleaned with a rag, and rushed to the water hose. I rinsed it vigorously and allowed it to dry for 2 hours before testing it out. HOLY COW, the sound is still flawless!! From now on, everyone who knows me will know how incredible JBL is. Thank you!!

Compared to my previous clip 3 and clip 4 experience The clip5 is heavier. The sound is nice, maybe better than clip4? But the app was needed to EQ the audio. But the clip5 bsttery life is shorter. The party link mode is cool but I have trouble linking the units(I have 2 clip5) the clip4 was great til i lost it. Clip 3 rip after many years.

This little speaker has great sound! The bass bumps, the mids & highs are really clear. It's really convenient to use while riding my bike, it clips right onto my pannier and I never have to worry about it falling off.
This was a great value for a really fantastic product.
