Description

Take the JBL Grip Red with you anywhere with ease. This Bluetooth speaker feels good in your hand and fits easily in a full bag. The speaker is waterproof, so rain isn’t a problem. You can also rinse it off under the faucet. Thanks to the 14-hour battery life and 2 hours of JBL Playtime Boost, you can keep listening for a long time. The speaker then lowers the bass and boosts the mid and low tones, so the sound stays powerful.

Original design and clear sound

Handy size
Clear and loud sound
Extensive app
No battery percentage on speaker

The JBL Grip fits comfortably in the hand. The speaker is small and light, feeling like a can. The speaker can play at high volume and has a built-in light. Unfortunately, I can't see the battery level.

Original Design The speaker's design reminds me of a can. When I pick it up, it feels just as light and small. I find this makes the speaker comfortable to hold. The flat bottom makes it stand securely on any surface. The flat top has a few control buttons. These allow me to quickly turn the speaker on or off and connect to other speakers. There's a built-in light on the back. I like that I can use it as extra mood lighting in my living room in the evening.

Clear and Powerful Sound Despite its small size, I find the speaker delivers powerful sound. I can fill my entire living room with music even at half the volume. I also find the sound clear. I hear voices clearly in music and podcasts, and they sound realistic. Using the equalizer in the app, I choose the Energetic setting because I find the sound more powerful than the standard setting. I especially notice this with music genres like rap and techno. This speaker doesn't have open sides like some other JBL speakers. As a result, I hear the bass notes a little less deep and full.

Personalization in the app The app offers many different options for the built-in light. I can choose different patterns, colors, and light intensity. I find this fun and useful because I use the speaker in different situations. The app also has an equalizer, which I use to fine-tune the sound to my liking. The app also shows the speaker's battery percentage. I appreciate this because the speaker only displays when the battery is low.

Review is 8,7 out of 10.

Nice to take with you, but sound quality not fantastic

Long battery
Waterproof
Premium quality
Too loud bass

The speaker is easy to use and convenient to carry. The battery lasts a very long time. The problem for me is that all the sound comes from a single woofer and has no tweeters, which makes the sound very muddy at higher frequencies, vocals, and when the sound is busy.

Easy to connect
Weak bass

An easy-to-use speaker that pairs quickly with other JBL products. It does have weak bass, though.
