The JBL Clip 5 has seen a significant price drop at Woot, offering customers a chance to save a substantial amount on this compact speaker.
The device, which normally retails for $79.95, is now available for just $49.95, a savings of $30 or approximately 38%. Prime members can also take advantage of free shipping, while all others will need to pay an additional $6.
This discounted price is only available for the next four days, although it may end earlier if stock runs out.
The JBL Clip 5 boasts an IP67 rating, making it resistant to dust and allowing it to withstand temporary water submersion. This means it can handle exposure to rain, sand, or accidental drops near the pool without sustaining damage.
The speaker's sound quality is suitable for music or podcasts when used closely, but it's not designed to replace a larger party speaker. Despite its compact size, it can project clear voices and evenly distribute sound, eliminating the need to sit directly in front of it.
Compared to its predecessor, the Clip 4, the Clip 5 offers several upgrades, including the ability to connect to two devices simultaneously and support for Auracast, which enables the creation of a stereo pair or distribution of audio across multiple compatible JBL speakers.
The JBL Clip 5 also features a companion app that includes presets and an adjustable equalizer, giving users some control over the sound. Its battery life is rated at up to 12 hours, with an additional three hours provided by the Playtime Boost feature. However, this estimate can drop significantly at higher volumes and may land closer to six hours in real-world use.
At its discounted price, the JBL Clip 5 is an attractive option for anyone seeking a small, portable speaker that can be easily taken outside and kept close by. While it may not be designed to fill a large room, its compact size and lightweight design make it an ideal companion for outdoor activities and travel.
