UNBOXING THE JBL CLIP 4
The JBL CLIP 4 is packed in a nice-looking box. Inside the box, you will have the JBL CLIP 4 wireless Bluetooth speaker, a Type C USB cable, a quick start guide, a warranty card, and a safety sheet.
DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE
The JBL CLIP 4 comes in a beautiful round-shaped design. It is small and portable. Measuring 5.3 by 3.4 by 1.8 inches (HWD) and weighing in at roughly half a pound, the Clip 4 is available in nine colour options—some patterned—including black, blue, camo, grey, pink, and red. The rounded front and back panels are covered in a grille that protects a single 40mm, 5-watt driver. A built-in carabiner frames the top portion of the speaker, and a USB-C port is located at the bottom.
The front panel has a huge JBL logo rising from the grille, with buttons above it for play/pause and volume down/up. A double press of the play button skips forward a track, but there’s no backward track function, oddly. There’s a dedicated power button on the left side panel, as well as a Bluetooth pairing button. On the back panel, there are rubberized strips to keep the speaker stable when lying flat on desktops.

The JBL CLIP 4 has a beautiful aluminium handle at its top proportion that allows you to have a firm grip while holding the speaker.
The USB-C port is uncovered, which is of note because the Clip 4 still manages an IP67 rating. meaning that it’s fully waterproof and resistant to dust. The speaker can be submerged for up to 30 minutes in a meter of water without issue. Bluetooth signal can’t play underwater, but the point is, you can get the Clip 4 exceedingly wet without harming it. The only included accessory is a USB-C-to-USB-A charging cable.
The Clip 4 is compatible with Bluetooth 5.1, and supports AAC and SBC Bluetooth codecs, but not AptX. JBL estimates battery life to be roughly 10 hours, but your results will vary with your volume levels.
