In my search for the best portable speaker, I’ve come to the conclusion that there are two types: the ones that sound like they’re broadcasting from a tin can and the ones, like the JBL Clip 4, that make you question how something so small can sound so good. I’ve been obsessed with mine ever since I clipped it to my backpack for a hike and ended up hosting an impromptu dance party on the trail. Now, it’s 38% off on Amazon, so if you’ve been on the fence, consider this your sign to hit “add to cart.”

JBL Clip 4

Original Price: $64.95

Sale Price: $39.95 (38% off)

The JBL Clip 4 is everything you want in a portable speaker: compact, durable and loaded with impressive sound. It delivers crisp, clear audio with surprisingly punchy bass for its size. Whether you’re at the beach, on a camping trip or just lounging at home, it’s the perfect companion to keep your favorite playlists flowing. And with over 30,000 glowing reviews on Amazon, it’s clear I’m not the only one who’s hooked.

What sets the Clip 4 apart is its rugged design and integrated carabiner, making it ridiculously easy to take anywhere. It’s IP67 waterproof and dustproof, so it can handle a splash or two (or even a full-on rainstorm). Plus, the battery life is a solid 10 hours — more than enough for a day of adventuring or a long evening of vibes.

Amazon reviewers rave about its durability and sound quality, with one calling it, “perfect for travel.” Another praised how it easily fills a room with sound despite being so small. Personally, I love how versatile it is. It’s been my go-to for everything from backyard BBQs to shower concerts (no judgment).

If you’re looking for a holiday gift that’ll impress or want to upgrade your own portable sound game, this is it. The sale won’t last forever and trust me, once you hear the JBL Clip 4 in action, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it. Your playlists deserve better — and so do you.
