Sound quality: JBL's Clip 4 Eco had fair overall sound quality - this model has sonic shortcomings that leave a lot to be desired when listening to music but don't rule it out for dialog. Bass has little impact, is subdued and deep bass is lacking. Midrange is somewhat thin, grainy, and a bit nasal. Treble lacks extension and is somewhat prominent, dry and a touch sizzly. Does a so-so job of recovering room ambience and is congested. The speaker is monophonic. It provides a decent volume level in a small sized room and is best suited for near field listening, at its loudest volume levels, the sound becomes strained.
