While these two little speakers are of a similar size, they differ in a few minor ways. One of the major selling points of the JBL Clip 3 is that it has a built-in carabiner clip making it easier to attach to a backpack or anything, really. The JBL GO 3 only has a loop, but if you have a carabiner of your own it is easy to use it in the same way. The JBL GO 3 also has an IP67 rating whereas the Clip 3 has an IPX7 rating—this just means that the Clip 3 doesn’t have a certified dust-proof build, but both speakers are waterproof. Another notable difference between the two speakers is that the Clip 3 includes an auxiliary port whereas the GO 3 can only connect to a source device via Bluetooth. Lastly the Clip 3 includes a microphone for making calls, but the GO 3 does not.
