It’s hard to beat the JBL Clip 5 if you’re looking for a portable wireless speaker to take to the beach or anywhere on the go. It features an upgraded carabiner with a wider opening, making it easier to clip onto various objects. The Clip 5 retains the same fabric-wrapped design as the Clip 4 and is rated IP67 for water and dust resistance. This new model offers up to 12 hours of playback on a single charge, and one of its other highlights includes Auracast support, which lets you pair two Clip 5 speakers for stereo sound or connect multiple JBL Auracast-enabled speakers for an expanded more powerful audio experience.

If you’re looking for alternatives, Amazon’s Echo Spot smart speaker is down at $60. This one comes with an animated display and it’s down to its lowest price of the year from $80.
