Bluetooth Speaker help.


Recommended Posts

Let me preface this by saying that this topic is not meant to be a discussion on whether or not music should be played during a round. The majority of rounds I'm able to get in are not at nice country clubs, top 100 courses, etc. It is usually a local country course where jeans are acceptable. I'm also not trying to use the course as a way of getting my mixtape out (which is absolute FIRE by the way).

 

That being said - Can anyone recommend a Bluetooth speaker I can clip on to my golf bag that has a decent battery to last a round or two? I like to walk and obviously don't want it to weigh a ton.

 

Thanks!

I love my Jaybirds but I dont like to play with them in just while I practice and hit balls on the range. I also bought a Cobra Soundchuck a couple years ago and love that for on the course, long battery life great sound and not too expensive.

I have the Scosche Bluetooth speaker that fits in my cup holder on my clicgear. I love it.

Why not use wireless earbuds? I have some Jaybird X3's that I use on the range and practicing putting.

 

Yes. You get to hear your music and everyone else doesn't. Courteous.

 

But don't get to hear the antsy group playing up on you yelling, "fore" when they hit into you either..

 

One can play music loud enough to hear when walking and hitting but not loud enough to hear when you're on the green putting. I do it all the time!

If you want a little more sound and off course versatility, check out the JBL Flip 3 or 4 (last year's model can be had for around $70 I think. Great sound for the money (definitely better than the Clip), and isn't going to get ruined in the rain. Mine fits perfectly in the cupholder on a cart or the water bottle holder on my push cart / carry bag.

Yep. Flip 3 is better and Flip 4 is best. The Clip 2 is waterproof as well and comes with an attached audio line that if streaming music isn't what you want to do, YouTube can be played with ease. Battery life on the Clip 2 is longer than the Flips though if not at max volume.

JBL Clip 2 ALL DAY!!

 

I absolutely love mine. Long battery and good sound in a small and light weight package.

 

I have to agree on the JBL Clip 2. Saturday I played 36 holes and it was gusting wind! Our stand bags were blowing over in the wind and there were white caps in the lake. Getting more than 5 ft away from the cart we couldn't hear the music. I ended up clipping the speaker in my belt loop to have the music follow wherever we wen't. It was a long day so after the battery got low I turned off bluetooth and plugged it directly into my phone. This thing is super functional! It was attached to my lead leg so I hardly ever noticed attached to me.

Puma sells a soundchuck/soundchuck mini.

 

The soundchuck has 2 cans that stay together magnetically. the mini had 1 can that clips on to your bag. I was given one of the two-can versions. Works well. gets louder than you'd need on the course. But it's more expensive than those JBL's...

 

Not sure who makes the Puma soundchuck, but If I were to purchase one on my own I would probably be inclined to purchase a speaker from a speaker brand instead of a clothing brand...

I use this Outdoor Tech Buckshot speaker when I'm playing either in a cart of walking. It has a loop band that attaches around the ends and allows it to attach to almost anything. I strap it to the "oh s***" handles on a cart and aim to the middle, or around my carry handle on my bag when I walk. It's plenty loud so can keep it quiet, waterproof so can use it in the rain and inclement weather and is fairly inexpensive so isn't going to break the bank. It's also great for other activities, I strap it on my bike handle bars and use it for rides so I can hear ambient noise when riding, use it hiking when we want some background noise, take it camping for a good campfire speaker, etc. Its been worth the $40 I spent 10X over.

I have both the JBL Clip and the UE Roll and I prefer the UE Roll for a few reasons.

 

1. You can link the UE to other UE products so if you buy a UE Boom (highly recommend as well for other uses like BBQ's etc) you can link them together for more coverage.

2. I have found the UE has better battery life. I can get 4 full 18-hole walking rounds of non-stop music play with one charge whereas the JBL is good for 2-3 rounds

3. UE comes with an elastic strap that is more versatile for attaching in to things

 

That said, both are great options.
