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.

What customers say about "Features"

JBL Clip 2 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Since it is waterproof I don't have to worry about it being outside.
It's truly waterproof, so I don't have to worry about it getting wet in the Seattle rain or the shower, and it's rugged as hell.
For a single speaker its has amazing sound, great bass, & awesome portability! Waterproof and pretty rugged.
I recommend this for anyone who wants a portable speaker with very decent sound quality and waterproofing with a decently rugged build in a fairly attractive little package.
The waterproofing is a delightful bonus. Great for tunes in the shower!

JBL Clip 2 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker

The carabiner clip and the built-in aux cord make this speaker all the more convenient!
It brings an aux cord as well, it’s super versatile. If you don’t want to use your Bluetooth you can just connect it through the aux cord.
Love how the aux cord is already on the device, and neatly hidden.
Pairs easily. Sounds good. Looks good. Shipping was quick. Aux cable is convenient.
I love the design. The wrap-around aux cable is awesome.
