Dude, ty for the review. I just watched a comparison review of the Clip 5 vs 4 just before this video by a TH-camr with 1.9M followers and your video was much more informative (and professional) before i was halfway through the review! Thanks for showing the now recessed power button of the Clip 5, as on the 4 it was too sensitive and powered on and off from the slightest touch while out hiking...so annoying! Just ordered from JBL and got £9 off. Bonus.
Update 10.05.24 Sat I Just Purchased 2nd JBL CLIP 5 and I'm Going to Pick It Up In Store Bit Later... Your Review Is What Inspired Me To Return Both of My CLIP 4s Because Rubber on Rear Was Coming Off Any Way... 0:57 And the clip 5s sound significantly better... Thanks I've Also found 2 silicon cover cases for both JBl Clip 5s... 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 10.04.24 Fri Watched Your Video Yesterday... Excellent... I Have Replaced JBL 4 Multiple Times Because of Rubber Feet Coming Off... After Seeing Your Video, I Exchaged JBL 4 for 5 just few mins earlier... JBL 5 definitely sounds better than 4... I'm still going to look for case cover which i had on all my 4s...
Yes exactly. I was even using two of the Lidl Silvercrest brand Bluetooth speakers because they were already even able to connect two of them for stereo music and not the better brand JBL. Stereo for me is just THE WAY to listen to music so I am finally glad JBL with the clip 5 made it possible now 😃
I still use my Clip 4 but even the front "JBL" letters eventually fell off and all I ever clipped it to was my belt loop. The silicone strips on the back were gone within a month. Looks like the Clip 5 is worth upgrading but I'll be putting beads of super glue along the front letters straight out of the box.
Your review has been the one of the best ones. I literally just order the JBL Clip 5, I left my clip 4 at someone's home and they decided to pay me for it instead of given it back to me so I decided to upgrade. Thanks for your amazing review!
Im surprised you didnt mention the power button relocation. On the JBL clip 4, the power button was in such a bad location that with normal walking/running/snowboarding, the button would cause it to turn itself off FREQUENTLY. So annoying. Glad to see engineering sorted this out on the Clip 5.
I was looking for this comment!🥴 I agree. A game changer I would even say. How many times have you packed your bag, pit in the Clip 4 only to have it turned on by mistake. Super annoyingly
dude! i use a clip 4 for disc golf and it rocks, but i am often pushing the volume to the limit. so more volume and the ability to double up and clip one to a homie's bag is clutch. thanks for the comparison. 👍👍
The power button on clip4 will eventually break down and crack apart esp with outdoor use in direct sunlight. Good to see they addressed this in clip 5
I love the fact that you can have full stereo by buying and connecting another Clip 5. I don't see this on too many Bluetooth speakers particularly at this price level. Place one on the other side of the room or car and you have a room filling sound. That so many people listen to only one speaker... was I absent for a "back to mono" movement? Last I checked virtually all music is recorded in stereo and that's the way it's intended to be played.
I'm curious when these will be available. My goal is to see if the Clip 5 would be able to connect to the Pulse 5? Thank you for sharing all this information with us. Great video!
@willwoodfork7916 any small speaker will distort when it can't handle heavy bass. I've had to open the equalizer and slide the bass into the negative for certain music
@seratractivo7231 at first I didn't like that it's bigger but the second I heard the audio I had ml complaints. It's hardly bigger when it comes down to the improved sound quality, volume, and battery life.
I own the JBL clip 4 & have noticed that it don’t have a mic on the actual speaker when I use it in the shower enclosure when connected to my iPod touch does this new one have a mic to talk to Siri?
I couldn’t even return it if I wanted to I dropped it like 4x with no silicone case on it on my scooter on the concrete and now it has marks all on it lol my dumb ass just bought a case for it yesterday that straps onto my scooter 🛴 so it doesn’t fall off again smh lol
JBL definitely didn't nail it with the bottom. The Clip3 was built a good deal better. And the gap on this new one of the clip, is tinyif any difference at all. Definitely not fitting on anything with the bike and like you said too, it'll scratch the hell out of anything like that. They still have a good deal of improvement to go here. Bring back the bottom of the Clip3 that was so much better. Open the clip up and put a quality coating to it. And put a small flat at the bottom for it to be able to stand if need be. Also, the power button on the Clip4 is horrible, I can't say how many times it accidentally pressed because it sticks out. Again, better thinking in the Clip3 for that too.
@@CC_Slays1986 do you even have the Clip 3 to be commenting here? I'll bet that your Clip 4 is missing some of the rubber strips on the bottom of it and you'd be clueless about how much better built the Clip 3 was to even be here commenting about anything I've said.
😮 still no mic SMH!!!! So basically it’s new because they can connect to another device and is able to fit on bike handles.. It’s a pass for me! I need it to have a mic to answer calls while I’m riding. Sad
improvement in sound 5% TH-camr- 11:11 "OMG OMG..it's too good, man i'm genuinely impressed how better it is than the predecessor!! so let's buy the new one with 30% extra money for 10% overall imppprovements whether it be worth it or not!" me- yeah yeah that's how a fvkin sponsored vieo is supposed to be.
@@perezfamily2861 what's even stranger is that the JBL go to used to have them like and they removed it. Sound quality seems to be quite worse than speakers from 8 years ago it only sounds good by itself as well.
@@NewStuffTV2 yeah it seems like JBL is going backwards despite having some cool tech. I'm starting to lean more towards the sound core brand as all their products seem to consistently be quite good.
0:57 i dont know if you've been sent a faulty one, because my Clip 4 has lasted for well over a year now with regular use, i have it hanging from my belt in work for nearly 8 hours and all of that rubber bottom is still stuck down firm!
I've returned 3 of clip 4s & returning 4th clip 4 later today... I wear all clips I've ever owned Clip 3 & 4 as there's always been issues... With 3s the pins came out of clip joint... With 4s Rubber peeled off rear... I wear all clips & previous jbl portables before clips on lanyard around my neck & speaker hangs below my neck on shirt in middle of my chest... And It bounces & can also swing back & forth when walking & hiking...
@@Thankful_n_Grateful hmmm weird, maybe i've just been lucky and received the best one XD its only my belt every day in work and still going strong with nothing falling off :)
The 4 has only a few fictions...on and off, volume up and down and skip songs....but it does not allows you to rewind or go back to a song...does the 5 has the rewind or go back song?? great review...thank you

Excellent...
I Have Replaced JBL 4 Multiple Times Because of Rubber Feet Coming Off...
After Seeing Your Video, I Exchaged JBL 4 for 5 just few mins earlier...
JBL 5 definitely sounds better than 4...
I'm still going to look for case cover which i had on all my 4s...
I like how jbl gave the clip 5 the ability to connect two speakers together!
I know about time!
Yes exactly. I was even using two of the Lidl Silvercrest brand Bluetooth speakers because they were already even able to connect two of them for stereo music and not the better brand JBL. Stereo for me is just THE WAY to listen to music so I am finally glad JBL with the clip 5 made it possible now 😃
it actually has a 12 hour battery life, and the playtime boost gives you up to 15 hours. It says right on the website which is now live.
Bro, I really enjoyed this video. Your style of reviewing and explaining is awesome!
My clip 2 is working still... no problems with broken strips....
Upgrade to Clip 5, you would be blown away by far better sound quality.
I still use my Clip 4 but even the front "JBL" letters eventually fell off and all I ever clipped it to was my belt loop. The silicone strips on the back were gone within a month. Looks like the Clip 5 is worth upgrading but I'll be putting beads of super glue along the front letters straight out of the box.
I'd suggest getting additional warranty & if anything happens including spills, drops, electrical, mechanical you can return it...

I love the jbl 4 .but I do agree about the silicone strips
I thought by the quality of this video your channel would've had millions of subscribers! Good work
Now we're talking! I'm going to get me the clip5.
dude! i use a clip 4 for disc golf and it rocks, but i am often pushing the volume to the limit. so more volume and the ability to double up and clip one to a homie's bag is clutch. thanks for the comparison. 👍👍
Yo bro, great video. Can you do materials for JBL Xtreme 4? Meaby review, compare to Xtreme 3 & 2, Charge 5, Boombox 3 etc?
The power button on clip4 will eventually break down and crack apart esp with outdoor use in direct sunlight. Good to see they addressed this in clip 5
Maaaan, you always have NEW STUFF. 😂

Does the speaker rattle and distort? Whenever there’s a normal amount of bass, my Clip 4 distorts like crazy.
It shouldn't distort unless you got an equalizer, volume booster on, or it's a fake one
@willwoodfork7916 any small speaker will distort when it can't handle heavy bass. I've had to open the equalizer and slide the bass into the negative for certain music
@@TheRickestJames with what speaker?
@@willwoodfork7916 literally any small speaker.
Nope. I have a clip 4 and it doesn't rattle or distorts.
honestly on my computer the clip 5 doesnt sound much louder than the clip 4. it does sound a bit fuller.
You mean more bass and clarity?
Why don't you guys inbuilt FM radio frequency for more listening pleasure..
Great review once again. Buying clip 5 now
I just got the clip 5 and to me it sounds so much better then my clip 4 just more dense sound
Okay fine I Upgrade if you want me to 😅
I almost got the 4..lucky thing i double check to see if the 5 came out😂
They sound almost identical....and the clip 4 is only $21 at best buy.
Where can I purchase the jbl 5?
ebay for over 100 bucks.
Anywhere....
@Tiralful yea I got one awhile ago now
This was an awesome review def check it out. Thank you!
Thanks for this review !
Thanks for the video, I purchased 2 clip 5s thanks to this review
Great in depth review!
Today, I randomly came across a Clip4 on a summer sale for 20Bone$
Needless to say it was an instant ScoOP!!!!
Can you connect the clip 4 to the clip 5? Just like how you can connect the clip 2 to another clip 2.
Can I have your old JBL?
Of course just send me your address and I'll send them over to you
Can you?
This man has lots of nerve and confidence to ask 😂
No kid
oh my 😮
Excellent review.
Amazon doesn't have these yet. How much are they gonna sell for?
Probably $79.99
99 on JBL site as of now
For my Clip 4, the strips at the back are fine, but the JBL text in front is fully gone, apart from the remaining stealthy glue text.
Clip 4 is sturdy and good.
I have the 4, great video.
I liked & subscribed.
how does the clip 5 compare to the sony xb100 soundwise?
XB100 Sounds better
Old clip 4 more beautiful than new , it’s asimétrical
Thats just your preference I think the new one has a much youthful shape
JBL 4 looks more premium. I have both and returned the 5 because it’s bulkier and uglier.
@seratractivo7231 at first I didn't like that it's bigger but the second I heard the audio I had ml complaints. It's hardly bigger when it comes down to the improved sound quality, volume, and battery life.
hey how's it goingc clip 5 ? When does it arrive in the USA? I'm not finding her
I'm in Australia and got told by JBL the Clip 5 doesn't release until august 😭 I was initially led to believe it was going to release in June 😢
Nice channel...I bought a couple of cliip 4 great speakers but the clip breaks to easy.🤦🏽♂️
I own the JBL clip 4 & have noticed that it don’t have a mic on the actual speaker when I use it in the shower enclosure when connected to my iPod touch does this new one have a mic to talk to Siri?
Dang i think the clip 5 will be a an speaker when I get it!
On the newer clip 5, the clip at the top that opens- is that all metal?
Yes, he says it in the video lol
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Is this worth upgrading?
I literally just bought the clip 4 and just unwrapped it I didn’t know there was a 5 I’m going to return it now 🤬🤬🤬
Bwuahahahhaha
Dude JBL 4 is 40 bucks right now.
🤣🤣
I just got the clip 4 for half price, it’s a good quality speaker for its purpose
I couldn’t even return it if I wanted to I dropped it like 4x with no silicone case on it on my scooter on the concrete and now it has marks all on it lol my dumb ass just bought a case for it yesterday that straps onto my scooter 🛴 so it doesn’t fall off again smh lol
Is auracast backwards compatible with partyboost ? Will this clip 5 work with flip 6?
If the flip 6 has auracast then yes if it doesn't then no
@@willwoodfork7916 auracast works with partyboost compatible devices
Clip 4 better looks
Clip 5 better speaker
Now i know again why i didnt buy the clip 4 last year. The accidental wait was worth it!
We love Wilson!
What about the JBL clip 5 vs the Klipsch Austin portable speaker?
Heat shrink tubing is a great hack to protect that metal part ;)
Silicone strips were huge fail for last generation of JBL speakers. Super annoyed of trying glue them back on
5:27 whats the name of the app? if its out. and does it work for the clip 4?
Sorry but the 4 doesn’t support it but the app is JBL Portable
They are close? Or not?
Clip 5 é mais potente, e com graves mais fortes!

Do you have the clip 5 even? I do and I love it. I’ve had the clip 4 for 2 years and it still works great. Not sure what you’re on about. 😂

It seems like the 4 sounds better tbh, the 5 def gets about 10% louder. Really only reason I’d get 5 is for the button relocation
Nothing makes a speaker prettier than duct tape.
Will the clip 5 stand salt water?
Yes.. works in beach 🏖️
Yes. Works around beach ⛱️🏖️
good video fam
Is there a microphone or not?
No microphone
😮 still no mic SMH!!!! So basically it’s new because they can connect to another device and is able to fit on bike handles.. It’s a pass for me! I need it to have a mic to answer calls while I’m riding. Sad
Click the two buttons volume down volume up. It will say 005.
improvement in sound 5%

Good video
JBL clip vs JBL flip 6........who win!
Yes please
Sweet another job
The mountain bike tape idea is very good
Heat shrink would be great also...And it comes in various colors.
JBL made a giant L by not giving this a microphone.
Agreed
That’s what I said because that’s exactly what I’m looking for to ride my bike and be able to answer any incoming calls. What a disappointment JBL
@@perezfamily2861 what's even stranger is that the JBL go to used to have them like and they removed it. Sound quality seems to be quite worse than speakers from 8 years ago it only sounds good by itself as well.
It's interesting because the JBL Wind 3 has a GREAT microphone.
@@NewStuffTV2 yeah it seems like JBL is going backwards despite having some cool tech. I'm starting to lean more towards the sound core brand as all their products seem to consistently be quite good.
Nothing worth the upgrade. Clip 4 will have the upper hand with a good sale.
The clip 5 is nice though. Will keep my 4.
good.. !
