this is the JBL clip a $50 mini bluetooth speaker that's the successor to JBL's popular micro wireless speaker it's very similar to that micro but has a couple of small changes including a carabiner style clip at the top instead of a closed loop hi I'm David car noise and welcome to another seen at first look video like its predecessor the clip delivers good sound for its small size this is a mono speaker and is designed to be laid flat or worn yes JB Oh calls this a ready to wear speaker aside from the clip the other big change here is the addition of speakerphone functionality there's a call answer end button on the side of the speaker along with volume controls and a dedicated Bluetooth button for easy pairing other extras include an audio input as well as an integrated cord that allows you to connect the speaker to a non bluetooth enabled device or the audio output on a laptop computer it's pretty nifty how the cord stoves in the bottom of the speaker as I said sound quality is pretty good for what this speaker is there's some bass just not a lot of it and the speaker will distort with certain tracks at higher volumes its strongest in the mid-range and does well with acoustical material and with speech and it makes a good lightweight companion for a tablet or smartphone for watching movies television shows and sporting events its rated as having 5 hours of battery life which isn't that long but about average for this sized speaker there are other speakers out there like this one and it's not ruggedized like divans boombox travel which also cost 50 dollars since it doesn't go with any sort of carrying case it's also probably a good idea to cover it with something especially if you have sharp objects in your bag because the paint on the grill can chip off but all-in-all this retains the same likeable qualities as the earlier micro wireless while adding speakerphone capabilities and it's recommended for someone looking for a very compact speaker that can produce decent enough sound for its tiny size I'm David car noise thanks for watching
