Meet the JBL Grip, a compact Bluetooth speaker built to deliver bold sound, rugged durability, and captivating style — all in a hand-friendly form factor. Despite its small size, the JBL Grip is engineered to perform like a larger speaker, combining JBL’s Pro Sound engine, intelligent features, and tough build to handle the demands of life on the move.

🎶 Bold JBL Pro Sound & AI Sound Boost

Don’t let the size fool you. The JBL Grip is powered by a 16W full-range transducer (43 × 80 mm) that punches well above its weight. Thanks to AI Sound Boost, the speaker analyzes your music in real time and dynamically enhances output to preserve clarity and reduce distortion — giving richer bass and cleaner mids even at higher volumes.

⏱ Up to 14 Hours of Use

Designed for day-to-night playback, the JBL Grip delivers up to 12 hours of playtime on a full charge. But when the vibe’s too good to stop, Playtime Boost mode adds an additional 2 hours — giving you up to 14 hours total for extended listening sessions.

💡 Ambient Backlight for Mood & Style

A defining feature of the JBL Grip is its integrated ambient light on the back panel. You can customize colors, themes, and brightness through the JBL Portable app to match your music or your mood. Flip through light modes and lock in your favorite look for low-light settings and nighttime ambiance.

💧 IP68 Waterproof, Dustproof & Drop-Proof

Built for adventurous use, the speaker comes with IP68 rating, meaning it’s safe against dust infiltration, water immersion (depth up to 1.5 m for 30 minutes), and it’s drop-proof from up to 1 meter onto concrete. Whether you’re poolside, on a trail, or at the beach, the Grip is tough enough to handle the elements.

🔗 Multi-Speaker Pairing with Auracast™

Want to amplify your experience? JBL Grip supports Auracast™ for seamless multi-speaker connection. Pair two Grips for stereo sound, or link several Auracast-enabled speakers to create wide, immersive audio all around you — perfect for parties or shared listening.

📱 JBL Portable App & Customization

Through the JBL Portable app, you can fine-tune EQ settings with a 7-band equalizer, adjust ambient light behavior, check battery levels, and receive firmware updates — bringing advanced control into your palm.

🎒 Portable & Ergonomic Design

Inspired by the shape of a seltzer can, the JBL Grip fits naturally in your hand and includes a rope loop on the back for hanging or carrying on backpacks, bikes, or gear. Its upright design also conserves desk or shelf space while projecting sound outward.

🛠 Built with Sustainability in Mind

JBL crafts the Grip using post-consumer recycled plastic and fabric for the grille, and packages it in FSC-certified paper. You get high performance with an eco-conscious footprint.

🌀 Technical Highlights & Versatility
