If you’re someone who’s always on the go and needs your music to follow, JBL has something fresh, rugged, and seriously powerful for you. Say hello to the JBL Grip, the latest addition to JBL’s iconic portable speaker lineup.
Officially launched in Malaysia on 25 November 2025, this compact Bluetooth speaker is designed to move, blast, and survive just about anything you throw at it.
Small enough to clip onto your bag yet loud enough to energize your entire day, the JBL Grip is built to be your ultimate travel, workout, and adventure companion. Whether you’re exploring Penang Hill, kayaking in Langkawi, or cycling around the city, this is a speaker that follows your rhythm.
Bold JBL Pro Sound in a Compact Body
Don’t let its size fool you — the JBL Grip delivers bold JBL Pro Sound powered by a punchy 16W output. What makes it stand out is the built-in AI Sound Boost feature, which analyses your music in real time and optimizes the speaker driver automatically.
The result? Deeper bass, cleaner highs, and zero distortion, even at higher volumes.
If you’re craving a wider soundstage, simply pair two JBL Grip units for true stereo audio. You can also go all-out using Auracast™, connecting multiple speakers to fill larger spaces with powerful sound.
This is a tiny speaker with a surprisingly big voice — a perfect option for both casual listening and spontaneous party moments.
Built for Adventure: IP68 Dust, Water & Drop Protection
The JBL Grip is engineered for durability. Its IP68 rating means it is waterproof, dustproof, and even drop-proof, giving you the freedom to bring it along on hikes, beaches, outdoor workouts, and rough terrain.
It also features an integrated rope hook, allowing you to secure it to backpacks, bikes, kayaks, and more. Whether you’re trekking in the rain or splashing near waterfalls, this speaker is built to survive elements that would kill most electronics.
As Grace Koh, General Manager and VP of Consumer Audio at Harman Asia Pacific, puts it:
“JBL Grip is built like a tank — waterproof, dustproof and drop-proof. We packed big, punchy sound into a size that fits anywhere.”
Stylish, Functional Design with Ambient Lighting
The JBL Grip isn’t just tough; it’s stylish too. JBL redesigned the speaker’s form to match your movement, featuring an upright stance and a vertically stacked JBL logo. It’s bold, modern, and instantly recognizable.
On the back, the speaker houses a customizable ambient light panel. Using the JBL Portable App, you can adjust the color and intensity to match your playlist, mood, or environment — whether you prefer calming blues, energetic reds, or soft pastels.
Long-Lasting Battery With Playtime Boost
Battery life is another win for the JBL Grip. You’ll get 12 hours of continuous playback, perfect for full-day adventures. Activate Playtime Boost to tweak performance settings for an extra 2 hours, giving you up to 14 hours of listening on a single charge.
Eco-Friendly Build
The JBL Grip is also crafted with sustainability in mind. It uses post-consumer recycled plastic and comes in FSC-certified packaging, aligning with JBL’s commitment to reduced environmental impact.
Pricing and Availability in Malaysia
The JBL Grip retails for RM599 and is available in 6 vibrant colours — black, white, purple, red, blue, and squad. Malaysians can purchase it through authorised dealers, the official website, Lazada and Shopee.
