Detailed Test Results

Sound quality: JBL's Clip 4 had Fair overall sound quality. 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 somewhat 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.
