I tested the JBL Grip and JBL Clip 5 small Bluetooth speakers – here’s which one I’d recommend for you

A hand is holding the JBL Clip 5 by its carabiner, and someone holds the JBL Grip in their hand, with their thumb resting on top.

How many Bluetooth speakers is too many? Actually, don't tell me – I’m likely way past that. I own Bluetooth speakers in various configurations, from pocketable portables to a colorful smart lamp speaker combo. If you were to ask me to pick my favorite portable speakers, then the answer is easy: the JBL Grip and the JBL Clip 5. But to choose between them? That’s not so simple.

JBL is well-known for selling some of the best Bluetooth speakers, offering big, booming sound from the likes of the JBL Charge 6 down to perfectly portable speakers like the JBL Go 4, which is the teeniest in their range. The Clip 5 is the second smallest JBL offers, and the Grip is the next largest model.
