Bose SoundLink Micro vs JBL Clip 5

The JBL Clip 5 and the Bose SoundLink Micro are both extremely portable speakers with small footprints. They have different mechanisms to fasten themselves onto bags or bikes, with the JBL sporting a carabiner while the Bose features a strap on the back. Their differences extend beyond this, however, as the JBL has a more balanced sound, which can be tuned via a graphic EQ and presets, and it can get louder, too. That said, the Bose can be a more versatile option as it features a longer continuous battery life and voice assistant capabilities when paired with a compatible Siri or Google Assistant device.
