Grip and Groove

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 fine-tune 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 AuracastTM

Want to share the vibes with the crew? With AuracastTM, we can easily stereo pair two Grip speakers for a wider soundstage or connect multiple JBL AuracastTM-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.
