The driver, which acts as the engine producing sound, has been enhanced, and it is equipped with a passive radiator that creates deep bass, delivering rich JBL Pro Sound with a maximum output of 7W. The further improved grand and powerful bass conveys the vivid live atmosphere experienced at live performances.


When fully charged, it can play for up to 12 hours. Additionally, it features a Playtime Boost function that extends playback time by 3 hours, allowing users to enjoy music more leisurely.


It also has IP67-rated waterproof and dustproof functions, enabling worry-free music listening in various indoor and outdoor environments such as camping, picnics, hiking, and swimming pools. The IP67 rating certified by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) means it is completely protected against dust ingress and safe even when submerged in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. The two numbers following IP indicate dust protection and water protection capabilities, respectively.


Moreover, two CLIP 5 units can be paired to enjoy stereo sound, or multiple speakers can be connected via Auracast for a more diverse and expanded sound experience. Sound can be easily customized through the JBL Portable application.
