JBL Clip 5 vs Bose SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen)

The JBL Clip 5 and the Bose SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen) are both small, portable Bluetooth speakers that you can easily toss in a bag or coat pocket. Both speakers sound fairly similar, with little bass and a balanced mid-range. The Bose lasts a little longer, but the JBL gets louder. The choice probably comes down to use case: the JBL's defining feature is its large, built-in carabiner-style clip. That makes it easy to clip onto bags and ropes, but also means it takes up more pocket space than the compact Bose. If you still can't decide, pick whichever you can find cheaper. It's usually the JBL.
