THE QUICK TAKE
Is it right for you?
Choose Clip 5 if you want a speaker that attaches directly to a bag. The carabiner is the useful feature: it keeps the speaker accessible without using a pocket. Voices and casual music suit its small format.
Choose a bigger speaker if deep bass or room-filling volume is the goal. The compact body has limits, and high volume shortens runtime. It also has no speakerphone microphone or wired audio input.
01 / BUYING NOTES
Before you buy.
The back gives it a resting place.
Raised rear supports help keep the woven body off a flat surface. They provide a different way to place the speaker when it is not clipped to a bag.
USB-C is for charging.
The port supplies charging power; listening is through Bluetooth. There is no auxiliary audio socket. Let the connection dry fully before connecting a charging cable.

The reviewer liked the larger carry clip and durable-feeling materials. Battery life dropped substantially during loud outdoor listening compared with moderate-volume use.
RTINGS found voices clear for the size, but the small speaker cannot deliver much deep bass or high output. The result supports personal portable listening rather than expecting a party speaker.
