JBL Grip speaker delivers amazing sound in a compact design

JBL has launched the JBL Grip, a small yet powerful portable speaker designed to bring music anywhere you go. Its slim can-like shape makes it easy to carry, while the back rope loop lets you hang it on a backpack, bike, or even a kayak.

Despite its compact size, the Grip is built for big sound. With 16 watts of JBL Pro Sound and AI Sound Boost, it delivers clear, deep bass without distortion. For an even bigger setup, you can pair two speakers for stereo or link multiple units together using Auracast.

The Grip is also tough enough for outdoor use. With an IP68 rating, it is water, dust, and drop-proof, so it can handle adventures without worry. Its upright design features a vertical JBL logo and a glowing ambient light on the back, which can be customised through the JBL Portable app to match your mood or playlist.

Carsten Olesen, President of Consumer Audio at HARMAN, said the JBL Grip shows the brand’s commitment to making great sound affordable while continuing to innovate.
