The Jam Plus is yet another small Bluetooth speaker that can be paired for stereo music playback. It doesn't sound much better than your smartphone...
Brightly-colored Bluetooth speakers are super compact. They can be linked together and placed up to 30 feet apart for stereo sound
Sound quality is only slightly better than that of a smartphone speaker, which is to say not very good. You have to manually link two Jam Plus speakers to get stereo sound. No support high-quality AAC or aptX playback over Bluetooth

The $50 Jam Plus version improves on the original Jam and it 'parties in stereo' if you buy two.
The affordable ; sounds better than the original Jam, it has an attractive, fun design, and if you buy a second speaker you can create a completely wireless pair of true stereo speakers.
No speakerphone capabilities; while the bass is a bit improved, the speaker still sounds thin and distorts at higher volumes.
With an appealing design, affordable price, and the ability to combine a second Jam Plus to create a left/right stereo pair, the Jam Plus is a worthy budget Bluetooth speaker.

While we won't claim to be thrilled by the bland shape or five color choices HMDX came up with for its new Bluetooth wireless speaker Jam Plus ($60), there's no question that the budget audio company has an ace up its sleeve with this model. For the...

The HMDX Jam Plus has a very special ability but sadly the high price and inferior audio quality hampers our recommendation of it.
The HMDX Jam Plus speaker will cost you Rs 3,990 for a single jar, which is a too expensive for mono sound. The speakers have a great design and a novel feature of pairing two together for stereo sound and spending almost Rs 8,000 for a stereo setup...

It was at a Christmas In July event in 2013 that I first saw one of these. As sometimes happens there was glitch and it was only at their Christmas In July event at 2014 that one was available, however my tests seem to prove it was worth the wait.

This is not a case of “Jam tomorrow” as offered in Lewis Carroll's “Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Did Next”. Instead it is, in fact, Jam today as HMDX adds another device to its series of Jam portable speakers. This is the Jam Plus which, as...
The Jam Plus device is a Bluetooth speaker which adopts a barrel shape as it rises to a height of 8cm from a base with a diameter of 8cm. Living up to its Jam designation, the product arrives packaged in a container than could easily be mistaken for a...

This Bluetooth speaker is very simple to use, and is ready to use right out of the box. It has a full, clear sound.

I bought this speaker in the blue 7-8 months ago and haven't had any issues with it. Is really good with keeping it's charge. I do wish the charger cord that came with the speaker was a little longer. Hard to find a place in my home to charge so most...
