Easy to grab and easy to hold, the JBL Grip is the speaker that’s always within reach. The JBL Grip is powerful for its size. JBL Grip may be compact, but its pro sound is big—punchy bass and crystal-clear highs. Whether it’s setting the vibe for mindful morning stretches or soundtracking lazy beach days, the JBL Grip is our go-to. The built-in ambient light on the back panel adapts to the moment, so you can set the mood for chill date nights and spontaneous hangs. Use the convenient side-panel control button to switch between light themes, so the mood is always right whether you’re winding down or turning up. Did we mention it’s super tough? The JBL Grip is built to handle anything. With an industry-leading IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating, it goes wherever we do. Its drop-proof design means it can survive a hard fall onto concrete—no party fouls here. All that, plus up to 14 hours of playtime with Playtime Boost. When friends roll through, we’re using Auracast™ to stereo pair two Grips for instant surround sound. Why stop there? We can connect as many JBL Auracast™-enabled speakers as we’ve got for an all-out sound experience. Solo chillin’ or vibing with the crew—the JBL Grip is as flexible as we are.
Bold JBL Pro Sound: The JBL Grip may be small enough to hold in one hand, but it packs bold JBL Pro Sound. With AI Sound Boost, it analyzes music in real time, using an algorithm to optimize output for bigger sound with less distortion.
Up to 14 hours of playtime: Keep the mood going for 12 hours on a single charge—plus an extra 2 hours with Playtime Boost when the vibes are too good to stop.
Ambient light: The speaker’s back panel features an integrated ambient light with unique themes and color options, so you can set the mood to match your mix. Use the JBL Portable app to finetune the brightness and lock in your preferred look.
Waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof: We designed the JBL Grip to handle the bumps and bruises of everyday fun. Along with its waterproof and dustproof IP68 rating, it’s also drop-proof—built to keep playing even after a 1-meter drop onto concrete.
Multi-speaker connection with Auracast: Want to share the vibes with the crew? With Auracast, we can easily stereo pair two Grip speakers for a wider soundstage or connect multiple JBL Auracast-enabled speakers to fill the space with the same playlist.
JBL Portable app: Customize the Grip’s sound with a 7-band EQ, light color options, and intensity, and get updates and support directly from the JBL Portable app. That way, we can always match the sound and vibe to our mood, wherever we are.
Recycled plastic and fabric, plus FSC certified paper packaging: Built with post-consumer recycled plastic and fabric for the speaker grille, so we get big sound with less impact to the planet. It’s also packaged in FSC-certified paper printed with soy ink.
Why is there no USB-C charging cable included with my product? To minimize e-waste, we consciously choose not to include a charging cable in our packaging. However, you can use any standard USB-C cable to charge your JBL product.

Fantastic Speaker!
I got these to use outside on the screened in patio, the sound is amazing and with the app I get surround sound by connecting them and adding them to a “party”. The light shows are pretty cool at night too. Definitely worth the price especially on sale. It connects easily to bluetooth, the battery lasts for a really long time. I had it running for 12 hours and the battery was at 45%.

Another Hit from JBL
JBL Grip is another great speaker they have come out with. The size is very similar to the new beer cans that a slimmer and taller than the standard cans. The sound is fantastic for such a small speaker and it sounds a lot louder than what you expected. The integrated ambient light is a cool touch for the speaker which adds a cool look especially when playing in a dark setting. The battery life is great and if you install the app on your cell phone you can keep track of the battery percentage to know exactly how long you got before it dies.The speaker is easy to grab and easily fits in your cup holders or your backpack pouch, so it can go anywhere you go.

It’s JBL again!
A new addition to my JBL family – twins.Great color and another speaker option for cycling.16 watts from Grip. When paired they deliver a full stereo sound with quality bass and treble high end.The lights are a nice touch but probably drain the battery charge faster.

Big sound from little speaker!
JBL! I have a collection from small speakers to headphones to a big party box. The brand is great with awesome sound. This little speaker has such big, rich sound and really good bass for its size. It pairs with my party box and sounds great! I am planning to buy another to create a true surround sound environment.

Impressive for it’s size
JBL does it again. Now my 3rd Bluetooth speaker from them after the Charge and the Partybox. This little thing has crazy good sound output for volume, great bass and crispness. It’s on the small end and will fit in a back pocket or cargo pocket for portability. JBL is always worth the money IMO.Battery life is great for the size.Make sure you get compatible speakers if you want to pare them together. JBL has several different lines and only those speakers in the same line will pair together.
