Outfitted with a metal carabiner that allows it to be attached to your bag, the speaker will offer up to 10 hours of playback thanks to the built-in rechargeable battery pack. The unit also features an [IPX7 waterproof rating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-bluetooth-speaker1) that will protect it from damage even if it becomes completely submerged in water. The JBL Clip 3 speaker also functions as a conference speakerphone that is integrated with [echo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-xseries-speakers) and noise-canceling technology to ensure the calls are as crisp and clear as possible when taking them out in the city or wilderness. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Portable Speakers:** The increasing number of portable speaker alternatives offers disruptive innovation opportunities for audio companies to create compact and convenient audio solutions. - **Waterproof Technology:** The inclusion of waterproof features in speakers presents disruptive innovation opportunities for companies to create durable and versatile audio devices for outdoor and water-related activities. - **Conference Speakerphones:** The integration of conference speakerphone capabilities in portable speakers allows for disruptive innovation opportunities in the field of communication technology, enabling clear and convenient conference calls on the go. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Audio Technology:** The rise of portable speakers provides disruptive innovation opportunities for audio technology companies to develop compact and high-quality audio devices for on-the-go use. - **Outdoor Equipment:** The incorporation of waterproof technology in speakers creates disruptive innovation opportunities for outdoor equipment companies to offer durable and water-resistant audio solutions for outdoor enthusiasts. - **Communication Technology:** The inclusion of conference speakerphone capabilities in speakers creates disruptive innovation opportunities for communication technology companies to develop portable and versatile devices for remote conferences and calls. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [On-the-Go Speaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-flip-7-and-jbl-charge-6.md) - [Tactile Waterproof Speaker Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-grip.md) - [Compact Portable Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonderboom-3-speaker.md) - [Style-Driven Clip-On Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-soundgear-clips.md) - [Portable Performance Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-flip-6.md) - [Immersive LED Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-pulse-5.md) - [Wearable Mini Wireless Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexon-mino-t.md) - [Mini Portable Speaker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stormbox-mini.md) - [Beach-Ready Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluetooth-speaker-1.md)
