In our JBL Clip 5 review, we gave this portable speaker an impressive 4.5 out of five stars. We rate its audio performance, compact size, and extensive feature set in particular. The fact that you can get all this for under $50 is frankly unbelievable.
Despite struggling with treble at higher volumes, the mids and low frequencies performed excellently. We also love the PlaytimeBoost feature in the app. Somehow, it manages to boost the output volume without draining the battery.
And if you're looking for a surround sound to supercharge your parties, then the PartyTogether mode will be right up your street.
