Jawbone Jambox

The Jawbone Jambox delivers an eye-catching design, lots of customization options and solid audio in a travel-friendly package.

Jawbone Jambox

The Aliph Jawbone Jambox Bluetooth speaker has a great feature set and packs a lot of punch for its size, but it's still pricey for what it is.

Solid, unique design. Easy to use. Supports apps

Middling sound quality still can't compare to most iPod docks of the same price

Jawbone Jambox with LiveAudio review

We've been fans of the Jawbone Jambox ever since its late 2010 launch. Although its $200 price tag is sure to cause a double-take, living with a Jambox for the last six months made me a believer in the portable Bluetooth 2.1...

Binaural recordings sound great ; Switching LiveAudio on and off is a snap ; Jambox speaker is a mighty tyke

LiveAudio doesn't work with all music ; LiveAudio softens volume and dynamic range on some tracks ; No easy way to determine if a track will benefit from LiveAudio

Unfortunately, the effect only works on tracks recorded with three-dimensional binaural listening in mind

Jawbone Jambox review

You may have already gathered that we're fans of the Jawbone Jambox -- seeing as how it appears in our Holiday Gift Guide -- but does a miniature portable speaker, even one that pumps out 85 decibels, deserve a $200 price? How about that battery life?...

Powerful sound belies tiny size ; Good battery life ; Stylish, durable design

Mild distortion ; Iffy as speakerphone ; Pricey

Bluetooth speakers – like headsets – can be pretty inexpensive these days, and so manufacturers need to offer something significantly more interesting if they want to charge a premium. The Jawbone JAMBOX’s RRP of $199 is no small amount, but the payoff...

Jawbone JAMBOX Portable Wireless Speaker Review

On a recent visit to an Apple store, Jawbone's JAMBOX caught my eye. Could this little dynamo offer me the sound quality and convenient size I have been looking for to fill my hotel rooms with music? The Jawbone JAMBOX is priced at $199.99, which ain't...

Great sound quality ; Plays loud

Annoying low battery messages ; Directional ; Expensive

Jawbone Jambox Wireless Speaker

The Jawbone Jambox is a perfect example of how good design and engineering can ensure that a product has both form and function. It not only looks amazing, but also performs better than its tiny stature would suggest.
