In the speaker test, the best Bluetooth and WiFi devices score highly with their rich sound and ease of use. However, only a few offer this complete package. Natural sounding bass, clearly audible details and balanced, lively sound - this is what the perfect speaker should sound like...

The JBL Clip 5 is a great Bluetooth speaker that does more than its looks suggest. It is the perfect travelling companion for anyone who wants to travel light and the sound is surprisingly good considering the size of the speaker. In everyday use, you'd be forgiven for thinking the speaker was twice the size. The battery life is also very impressive.
