The good news is that the very popular JBL Clip 5 is now $59, down from its regular price of $79 and it is the lowest price ever, beach bags, or belt loops and it is something people really carry around all the time. JBL was able to fit great sound quality into a small, waterproof, and dustproof package which means it can handle beach trips, pool parties, and hiking without breaking a sweat.which means that it sounds much better than it should for its size. You’ll notice the bass response right away because the speaker makes low-end punch that smaller competitors can’t match. The drivers do a great job of making the sound fuller across different types of music and they can handle anything from bass-heavy hip-hop to vocal-focused podcasts without sounding thin or distorted. The new carabiner is a smart improvement over older models: It has a wider opening that can hold thicker straps and handles. You can hook it to your bike, clip it to your beach bag, or attach it to the shoulder strap of your backpack for hiking and the integration feels strong, not weak, which gives you confidence that the speaker won’t come loose and fall onto concrete or into water.the battery lasts for 12 hours, which is enough for most people to last a full day at the beach or a weekend camping trip. Playtime Boost adds three more hours when you need it, bringing the total to 15 hours and this is done by optimizing power use, which means the volume is a little lower. You can turn on this feature with just one tap, so you don’t have to go through the app settings when your battery starts to run low.makes the power connection the same for all devices, so you can use the same cable to charge your phone and speakers., and it can be submerged in water up to one meter deep for 30 minutes without damage: This means that the electronics inside won’t be harmed by splashes from the pool, sandy beaches, or sudden rain showers. You can clean off dirt, sand, or salt by rinsing it under a faucet without worrying about damaging the water. The tough build makes it more durable in general, able to handle drops and bumps that would damage less sturdy speakers. With this $20 off, the JBL Clip 5 is now in the range of impulse buys and it has features that you’d expect from speakers that cost a lot more. For less than the cost of a nice dinner out, you get real sound quality, real durability, a long battery life, and real portability.Gizmodo Tech Reporter Jody Serrano’s 11 Fun and Funky Coffee Mugs for Those Who Think It’s Too Complicated to Give Tech Gifts
