Our Verdict

JBL Charge 5

JBL Clip 5

The JBL Charge 5 and the JBL Clip 5 are very different speakers that are suited for different uses. The Clip 5, with its handy carabiner, is great for on-the-go uses, where it can be brought along with no need for a bag. It features better directivity, so sound is more consistent from different listening angles. The Charge 5 has a more balanced default sound, with better bass extension, over double the battery life, and it can get much louder with less compression. It's much better suited to soundtracking small gatherings. That said, both speakers are well-built with IP67 ratings, so both can be used outdoors without worry.
