this is the clips groove a mini bluetooth speaker that costs $150 and packs a good punch for its size what makes it special well it's got some heft to it weighing in at 1.7 pounds and has a durable splash proof design and battery life is rated at eight hours which should get you through most of the day I like the clips didn't make this a stereo speaker as it is these types of small portable speakers never have any stereo separation and Klipsch is gone with one large 3-inch driver and a couple of side firing passive base radiators that allow the speaker to produce a decent amount of bass there's no speakerphone which is a little strange considering this speaker would look at home on an office desk but it's got a pause play button and volume controls on top of the speaker and an audio input behind a gasket on back next to the micro USB charging port like with a lot of these small Bluetooth speakers the group sounds quite good with some tracks but runs into trouble at higher volumes with other tracks even so I like the speaker and liked it better than Klipsch is earlier gig speaker I reviewed but as crowded as the Bluetooth speaker market is the groove will probably have to get closer to $100 price point to find its groove in the marketplace I'm David Carr noise thanks for watching
