What customers say about "Key Specs"
JBL Clip 2 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker
- The battery life is pretty good, I use it for 8hrs a day and charge it every 3rd day.
- Very durable, long battery life/charge and good quality sound.
- The clip is handy and I can go quite a distance from my iPad or phone and still maintain a solid Bluetooth connection.
- The battery life is pretty impressive for the size of the device and the amount of volume it puts out.
- The battery life far exceeds all the other portable speakers in my house, by a lot. It will easily last for hours (around 8 according to the instructions) even with the volume up and it charges very quickly.

JBL Clip 2 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker
- I own a few Bluetooth speakers of all shapes and sizes. This however is the smallest.
- The sound is impeccable. Didn't know something this small could have that much bass.
- A wonderful little speaker! It packs a good amount of punch for its size.
- JBL does it again with a small, but powerful speaker! If you're looking for a small footprint with excellent sound, this is it.
- The sound quality is much more than I expected from a speaker that size. I’m excited to put this baby to use while.
