This speaker only supports the SBC Bluetooth codec but, again, with such compromised drivers any money spent on licensing higher-spec codes would likely be better spent elsewhere.

It takes around three hours to charge the Eco 4, which seems an age in a world of super-fast charging phones. You also can’t use the USB to plug the speaker into a laptop - I tried with both Windows laptops and a MacBook. It uses a USB-C to charge, but the charging speed is somewhat slow. Image Credit (Trusted Reviews)īattery life is rated at 10 hours, which is possible if you use moderate volumes. There’s no aux input, though, which may put some off. The JBL Clip 4 Eco is meant to be good, simple and not too expensive. You’re not going to link two of these up as a stereo pair, or use a bunch in a wireless daisy chain. Unlike JBL’s higher-end Bluetooth speakers like the Charge 5, there’s no companion app to worry about. The whole point of this speaker is it’s simple. They let you play/pause, alter volume and enter pairing mode.

The Clip 4 series has been around since 2020, and this new Eco model uses 100% recycled materials for the speaker grille, up to 90% recycled plastics elsewhere, and there’s no clear compromise to the finish.Ī bunch of physical controls sit on its body.

This means it can be fully submerged in water without issue to a depth of at least 1m. Its outer is a fabric mesh and the speaker is water resistant to an impressive IP67 standard. At this scale the JBL style seems more oddball than brash - not a bad thing. The JBL Clip 4 Eco is a little different, though. Despite being a big fan of some of JBL’s speakers in sound quality terms, I’ve never loved its style that much, which often leads to giant JBL logos and brash external passive radiators. The build style is similar to that of a lot of JBL’s other Bluetooth speakers, reminiscent of the Ultimate Ears models but with a slightly less tasteful, or at least less minimal, design. There’s also a series of rubbery feet on its bottom, to make it seem just at home when sat in your bedroom playing tunes. This is a big part of the JBL Clip 4 Eco’s quirky style, though, and you can hold the speaker by its clip, turning it into a teeny-tiny handbag of sorts. Its top part is a carabiner-style clip that can hook onto door handles, rucksacks - use your imagination. This one won’t fit in pockets, but its whole deal is hanging on things. The JBL Clip 4 Eco is one of JBL’s smallest speakers, one step above the JBL Go 3. At the time of review they cost significantly less than the JBL Clip 4 Eco’s £59.99 recommended price, making them a better buy. However, for the best deal make sure to check out the prices of the original JBL Clip 4 too. However, it’s the kind of style you grow to appreaciate more as the weeks roll by. As in most JBL speakers, I don’t think the JBL Clip 4 Eco is quite as sleek or cute a design as you might see from arch rival Ultimate Ears.

The JBL Clip 4 Eco uses a passive radiator to generate a good bass thump, while tasteful tuning stops it from clouding the sound. JBL has established itself as a master of Bluetooth speakers, even ones you might think too small to give music any impact. It’s water resistant, and has a giant carabiner style clip to let it hook into all sort of things.
