We are now tracking a deal at Amazon that drops JBL’s new Clip 5 portable speaker down to $49.93 shipped in several colorways. This is a fairly new Bluetooth speaker that debuted earlier this year carrying a $100 price tag. It’s available in a bunch of different colors and almost all of them are seeing a solid 38% discount, landing at the lowest price we have tracked for them to date. The Clip 5 offers a notable improvement over its predecessor, but folks who don’t care about the latest and greatest can also snag the Clip 4 in several colors for $39.95 shipped, instead of its usual going rate of $65. Head below for more details and a closer look at the difference between the two models.
It doesn’t get much better than JBL’s Clip 5 if you’re looking for a portable wireless speaker that can accompany you on your trips down the beach or pretty much anywhere you go. The Clip 5 has an upgraded carabiner with a wider opening, making it easier and better to latch onto different objects and places. The newer model sports the same fabric-style wrapped housing as the Clip 4, complete with an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, and it delivers up to 12 hours of wireless playback on a single charge which is up from 10 hours on the older model. Notably, the Clip 5 brings Auracast support which is missing on the older unit, meaning you can create a multi-speaker setup by pairing two Clip 5s for stereo sound, or wirelessly connect multiple JBL Auracast-enabled speakers for bigger sound.
If you prefer listening to music more discreetly over a pair of headphones or earbuds, then Bose’s Black Friday sale is now live with up to 40% off audio gear, gifts, and more. There are some solid options in there with good discounts, so be sure to check them out.
