The new handlebid speaker from JBL is now available for pre-order

From wedding week karaoke machines to speakers that double as chargers, JBL makes speakers for almost every situation. Nevertheless, the brand is expanding its range of options with its newest portable Bluetooth speaker.

From 2 September the JBL -Grip is officially officially for the pre -order for $ 99.95 and the grip will be available everywhere on September 28 on September 28 at the size of a long can and a price that is firmly in the low to middle part of JBL’s portable loudspeaker assignment.

So what should you expect from the new speaker? This is what you need to know.

JBL Grip Speaker Specs

At Mashable we have tested various speakers from the JBL-Line-Up, from the $ 879.95 Partybox 520 to $ 49.95 Go 4. JBL speakers produce well-completed sound, are sustainable, have a decent battery life and offer options for enlarging your experience. With the JBL -Grip you get:

• JBL Pro Sound with AI Sound Boost that optimizes speaker drivers for the clearly possible sound, even with higher volumes

• 43 x 80 mm full range of transducer

• 12 hours of battery life, plus two hours with playing time boost

• Six color roads: black, white, purple, red, blue and camo

• JBL Companion App Compatibility

• Environment light on the rear panel that you can adjust with the JBL app

• IP68 Water and dust-safe rating

• Multi-speaking speakers connection with Auracast

• Rope hook for taking the road

The small size makes it ultra-portable.

The most direct comparisons that come to mind for the JBL -Grip are the JBL Flip 7 speaker and the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4. The Wonderboom 4 is Mashable’s current favorite Bluetooth -speaker under $ 100, which is for the same price as the JBL grip. The assessment is slightly less, on IP67 (which means that it is not resistant to immersion in water and grip), and it comes without a corresponding app. It is shorter and wider, where the grip is long, has 14 hours of battery life and is often for sale for $ 79 or less.

The Flip 7, on the other hand, is a step up from the grip, and the price reflects that for $ 149.95. You get a total of 16 hours of playing time, a 45 by 60 mm woofer and 16 mm tweeter, interchangeable carrier accessories and loss-free audio playing, as well as the same IP68 rating, JBL Pro Sound with AI Sound Boost, Auracast Multi-speaker connections, and guidance as the grip speaker.
