So this is the new JBL Clip 4… its JBL’s newest ultra portable bluetooth speaker that’s great to take on the go with you either when you’re walking the dog, maybe out on a hike, and ive seen people use these kind of speakers while they’re riding their bike. And personally I really like using these types of speakers as a dedicated podcast machine. Now the Clip 4 does have some important upgrades from the Clip 3 and Clip 2… but there are some key things to look out for here.

Not enough people do a good sound comparison like you did here. It's the part that can really show the difference. Good job-!

[@Killpocalips]

See and I never understood commercials for TVs because they're showing you the sharpest newest display... but you're seeing it on your old TV? Now I get it xD

[@murky16]

Bro forreal like I don’t care about all of the features and the “carabiner clip” like I can read all that on their website dawg. I just watched another review before this one where the dude didn’t do a sound test at all like why even bother making a review on a SPEAKER lil dummy KZbinrs mane I swear😂😂

[@youngsuk3329]

Very in depth and detailed review, as always. I like your channel so much, it's a shame you don't get more subscribers for your hard work and content.

[@decemberswitch]

just the right amount of technical (frequency plot) and practical (audio) sound comparison, you are the best reviewer i've seen.

[@ani.1707]

Hey, great video. I was wondering if you'd pick the JBL Clip 4 over the Sony SRS XB23? I have the Sony and I'm happy with the sound quality but hate the battery life and portability. Would it be worth my money to pick up the Clip 4? Is the sound quality comparable? Thanks.

[@marcojuco21]

Thank you for this comparison and going back an forth between them I definitely hear the difference will be purchasing a clip 4 next month

[@asduhaisjdjasd]

if you want something cheaper and doesnt have the clip get the go 3 it sounds quite similar

[@cash2.0]

Great review! Not surprised there is no daisy chain or pairing like the Clip 2 can do. Also, no speakerphone like the Clip 1,2, and 3 has. The loss of the 3.5mm jack is not a deal-breaker for me and I do like the USB-C charging. Definitely sounds better. JBL tweaks the sound better with new models but takes away features. I plan to get one when the price drops.

[@silver1407]

thank you for continuing to fight for the 3.5mm jack!

[@le2bigscott]

You just gained a subscriber just because of how you did the sound comparison to all the clips great stuff.

[@MegaMaxism]

The JBL clip 4 is a truly amazing speaker I love it! Because it pushes forward the sound quality is crystal clear is worth to upgrade to clip 3 am sure it's same thing with a extreme 3 pulse 4 and flip 5 JBL makes something big bold logo of there's speaker aslo upcoming JBL charge 5 looking forward of these speakers in 2021.

[@PackardKotch]

I feel like the clip 4 is only a good value for a very specific use case - needing to have something with a carabiner. If you want a basic JBL speaker, get the GO3 (cheaper, not far off in power), if you want to step up to properly better sound , get a FLIP 5 (more powerful, better sounding)

[@Omgosh98]

Was looking for a good speaker to take with me up to the mountain for snowboarding. This is the one!

[@wed265]

awesome videos keep up the great work. I have a question for you. I'm looking for a small speaker that I can carry around with me and also besides music listen to videos KZbin videos podcast. Also use on my bike. Would this be the best all-in-one little speaker do you think? Also I think $70 is too much money recently it was 50 and I didn't grab it darn it. What are your thoughts? Also I think you said there is no latency with videos and KZbin stuff right? Ray

[@leighvester9897]

Is there a default volume when you turn on the Bluetooth speaker, if there is what is it? Thanks Man.

[@mikkel6372]

What an insane great way to showcase sound difference! awesome video

[@systemfreakazoid]

Great video editing. Really awesome. I just wanted a review but I’m subbing. Thanks for the great review.

[@knessing7681]

this is a very very *good thorough* review ... specially the part where you brought out and compared the Clip 4 to the past models and did the sound tests. personally I thought the Clip 2 sounded the best even if it was abit quite-er as it hit the sweet middle spot between clip 3 (to much trebble) and clip 4 (to much bass)

[@louiegarcia1872]

Does your JBL Clip 4 shows the battery level on your andriod devices?

[@luism8612]

If you buy 2 of these can you Cooke to them together through the JBL app?

[@billdepalma161]

When are they going to add party boost to the clip and go speakers that would be cool I love the clip 4

[@uhmikeespino3141]

I had both the clip 3 and clip 4 together for fine seconds or so. Why cant i get it again

[@Spreadsheet1com]

I paired a JBL Clip4 with an Apple iWatch Ultra and I can listen to music without the use of an iPhone (WAN or eSIM). However, I cannot hear audio from the Clip4 during phone calls. I am aware that the Clip4 does not have a built-in microphone anymore. I am using the iWatch mic during calls, but I want to hear audio via a waterproof Bluetooth speaker under some noisy conditions. Audio can be routed from the iWatch Ultra to a SONY SRS-XB43. Why doesn't the Clip4 work in a similar way? Any suggestions about how to fix this issue?

[@kenGPT]

How durable is the clip,hinge? Is it flimsy or strong feeling?

[@gabedauer3130]

is this loud enough on a paddleboard while you are paddling?

I will have to grab this little speaker. Its to bad that it won't work for phone calls. However, It sounds perfect if I need to listen to audio books, or watch described movies. It sounds as if it would work with voice over on my iPhone 13 pro max as well. Thanks for the sound comparison.

Can you still use Samsung dual audio to send the same audio through multiple speakers using the Clip 4? Or would that be prevented by any upgrade by JBL?

I used samsung dual audio on harman kardon neo with jbl go 3 and it work just I couldn't find it in the settings somehow I done it in Spotify.

[@filipinoaye1494]

Watch the video

[@mggentry]

This is definitely louder, I upgraded from the 3 to 4 after christmeas

[@tsunamirider9895]

Great review! Can you pair another Clip 4 at least? The Clip 2's are great in that they can stand-alone pair together on their own (max of 2). Unfortunately not stereo, but amplifies the sound and they sound pretty good that way. Their batteries are starting to degrade, so was thinking about upgrading. Was hoping the Clip 4 could pair up with another and be in stereo at least. Seems like a downgrade if you're limited to just 1.

[@nenalaperuanita]

In the video he said there is no partyboost feature

[@kweenjade01]

They can be paired together. But if ur looking to pair speakers ur better off getting a big one and doing a one time purchase rather than buying two of these mini ones.

[@amedeshcain1064]

I need a speaker to use while driving, do you recommend this one or should i look for something else?

[@someytuser985]

Use this one

[@ebereihe2197]

@Music Releases pls how is the sound? does it have a good bass sound

[@StreetsOfVancouverChannel]

Though owning speakers from both companies I do think that JBL ones sound better than the Sony ones (though they both sound very good compared to cheaper made speakers in general). Thew bass response on the Clip 4 is much better.

[@KvngJTP]

Just bought one yesterday off BackMarket for $43 bucks total price. Can't wait to use it at work! (Update: Order never was confirmed so I just canceled the order and last week I bought the Flip 6 for 107 after taxes and so far it's great, things happen for a reason ig lol)

[@eddienavarrete1423]

Thanks!

[@Asuma492]

I hope the clip is better on the 4 than on the 3 because it broke on my 3. Multiple times I would be running and the speaker would unclip and fall on the ground.

[@ianbeilfuss7662]

Please review the JBL bass pro go

[@anthonyloveanthonylove2159]

You forgot to mention that Clip 4 doesn’t have built in mic clip 3 has which is a big turn off to me.

[@przemeks9254]

I really love my flip 5 but this one might be just perfect for travels due to size while flip takes a bit of space in a small backpack. I take flip for travels so far so good

[@Odismokes]

Its perfect for work, Clío it on my belt and work

[@LucinaFireEmblem1997]

The flips are bigger and have more loud to clips, more like for big parties or event but I like my flip 4 cause it has a wrist lace to hold and since I like loud music it make my bike ride feel motivated

[@arrepuess]

Its a great lil speaker. Top notch.

[@fordexploder10]

Thank you for the video. I found that the on/off button is way too sensitive. Walking with the speaker clipped to a back pack will result in the speaker being accidentally turned off. 50% of the grip strips on the back side have fallen off. I do miss the capability of accepting a 1/8 mic jack. The speaker does sound great, the battery life is wonderful and the new charging port is more convenient.

Hi there, I just got the clip 4. Never had anything like that before so I wonder what is the best way to take care of the battery when using it. How long do I have to charge it? If I listen to the music when it’s plugged is that better vs unplugged? Would appreciate any information, thank you 🙏

[@Thankful_n_Grateful]

Good Question 😊 I've had many clip 1s, 2s & 3s... You do not have to do anything... Just use it as much as you want & enjoy it... I've used it until battery completely drains... I've used it while charging... I've not noticed any ' NEGATIVE ' issues with any of my Clip's battery lives... It makes sense to charge while listening if you think you'll be away from power source to charge it... Whenever I finish walking, hiking I charge it in car.... When I'm cycling, I have portable battery power bank I used to charge Clips on extended rides ( 3, 4 or more hours )... Sometimes I'll be on bike in one day for 7 hrs pedalling ( 9 to 10 hrs total: couple hours chilling, relaxing, eating ) Some of my walks & hikes are 5 to 7 hrs... It's nice to have music coming from speakers so can also hear noises around me on trails & especially in traffic while cycling )... I also purchased ' No Questions Asked Return Policy ' If anything goes wrong, just take it to any retail franchise bought it from & they give me a completely new one... Highly Recommend Warranty like that...

Just got the Clip4 and already had the Clip3. Only 2 things better with the Clip4. 1) and probably most important, the sound is better and a little louder too. 2) the clip can open slightly more, but still both are pretty limited. Things that I think got worse with the Clip4 1) no rubber backing/protection on the inside of the clip like the Clip3 has 2) the rubber on the bottom that it lays on is not close to being as slip resistant as the rubber on the bottom on the Clip3 3) overall doesn't feel as beefy/sturdy as the Clip3 4) with the new shape, it would have been nice if they made it be able to stand up when you set it down.
