4.0 out of five stars Pricey, but remarkable bluetooth speaker, December 23, 2010
By Steeler Nation “Peter” (Seattle, WA USA) See all my reviews () This review is from: Jawbone JAMBOX (Black Diamond) (Wireless Phone Accessory) I decided to attempt out this greatly rated bluetooth speaker for my iPad and iPhone and has been shocked at its easy use, sound quality, small footprint, portability and long battery life. I liked the choice of colors which makes these small speakers standout and easy to spot. When I 1st opened the package, I was happy that the company included some number of high quality cords as well as both short and long micro USB cords for recharging and computer synching, charge adapter, and a tangle free audio cord for non bluetooth resources. You may be able to create an account on the Jawbone MyTALK site to download voice profiles and apps. In pairing mode, it easily connected with all of our iPads and iPhones. I tested the iPad 1st with Netflix, Pandora, Hulu+, Air Video Server, and iTunes. Considering that the speaker is only the size of two stacked Wii controllers, the sound was amazingly strong, clear, full bodied, and free of hisses or pops that I experienced with other bluetooth speakers and maintained the bluetooth connection without a single drop. Next, I paired both an iPhone four and 3Gs and both easily paired with the speaker. I ran Pandora and tested the speakerphone function which worked nicely. You may be able to program a quickdial number that may be now dialed by pushing the round botton on the top when paired with a phone. You may be able to download apps for voice commands which I did not attempt since I rarely use, but the transmission and receiving sound quality is quite good. The next day, I went to work in the operating room and everyone was inquisitive when I pulled out the small speaker and placed my iPhone by its side. There is no have to bring any cords which is the real benefit of using this speaker for true convenient portability. When I started playing my Pandora selections from the iPhone, nobody in the O.R. Could believe it comed out of this small speaker. It clearly is not going to challenge a Bose SoundDock or Dr. Dre Beatbox, but we all had a nice day in the operating room doing a full day of cases with great tunes and the speaker lasted the complete day using only 50 of the battery life. At home, I has been surprised when my son played games on the iPad downstairs and the sound comed through the Jambox speakers located upstairs with perfect clearness. I researched all of the bluetooth speakers now available, and this stands out by far. Personally, I favor using this small speaker which I can pull out of my labcoat, rather than carrying around a big heavy sounddock with cords shoved in a bag. I now leave the sounddock in my office. The only reason I did not rate this 5 stars is caused by the sticker shocker price which I personally feel is a bit extreme and could be more competitive in the $150 $170 range. At the $200 pricepoint, majority of people are audiophiles and will probably make the unfair comparison to bigger sounddocks. On the other hand, this is perfect for people like myself wanting to sacrifice some room filling base rumbling sound for a really movable wireless speaker with correct sound reproduction. In general, I’m happy with my buy and will purchase another when and if the price drops.

Update 9/18/2011
True to my word, when this went on a Gold box deal for $149, I bought a second speaker for the kids who used them on camping trips to watch movies on their iPads with their friends. I have been using this daily over the past year with only some minor issues. I’m not a big fan of the new downloaded software update to add “Live Audio” sound processing which really dampens the sound volume too much to be efficient and have only noticed a subtle difference for certain music files. I suspect there will be more reviewers who will knock this device caused by dissatisifaction with the Live Audio update, but do not realize that this may be simply toggled on/off by depressing and holding the minus and plus buttons together some seconds. After buying a second one for the kids to use with their iPads, I had to change the bluetooth device names to distinguish many speakers since it’s default set as “JAMBOX by Jawbone.” If you have already synced your i”Device” you’ll notice that it’ll keep the old name. Simply go to Settings/General/Bluetooth and choose the Not Connected icon and choose “Forget this device.” This will reset the name for the device and you may be able to simply rescan and resync with the speaker to update the name in your bluetooth device list. I do not understand why there are so many poor reviews for syncing problems which I have never experienced using iOS devices. Other reviewers have also suggested the Soundfreaq SFQ 1 which has equal (to my ears, somewhat superior to others) bluetooth sound quality and comparable pricing. I like the SoundFreaq, but I still favor the JAMBOX caused by its smaller size and simple rectangular form which easily fits in my coat pocket for portability. The sound quality coupled with design factor make this a more adaptable buy. Ignore reviews that make unfair comparisons to bigger costly office/room audiophile speakers which serve different reasons. I use both the Bose SoundDock and Dr. Dre Beatbox and also really enjoyed the inexpensive, but discontinued Griffin Amplfi speaker which all give a wider and fuller sound experience but are all impractical to drag around with you.

Update 10/10/2011
The new Jambox 2.1 software upgrade fixed all the problems with the last LiveAudio upgrade. The new SoundClarity algorithm is really nice and preserves the higher volume levels. I turn the LiveAudio off when we are in the operating room and it gives nice spatial sound and turn it back on when I am alone in the office for a softer, but improved sound. I have noticed continued bad ratings complaining of recurrent bluetooth connection drops. I have two Jambox speakers (blue and black) and used them daily for ten months with our iPhones, iPads, and newly an Asus Transformer android tablet and honestly have never had a single connection drop. I use the devices to listen to music in the operating room for 8 10 straight hours and we have have never had a dropped connection. I wonder if people were unlucky to get a bad speaker or possibly their problems are really with their media devices that outdated bluetooth protocols (i.E. Non iOS devices).

4.0 out of five stars Nice part of equipment, February 7, 2011
By Seth Kahan (Washington, D.C.) See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) This review is from: Jawbone JAMBOX (Black Diamond) (Wireless Phone Accessory) I first wrote a review entitled, “Monstrously dissatisfied.” Out of the box, my Jawbone Jambox sounded horribly distorted when playing my laptop’s music. Before returning it I searched the web another time to see if there anythed that may be my fault and found a useful thread called, “Terrible Sound Quality” (link below) on Jawbone’s site. There I discovered that my Apple MacBook Air had two different drivers and the wrong one has been selected, not that I has been prompted at any point in the installation by either Jawbone or Apple. I also read that nobody knew how to choose the right driver on my operating system, Snow Leopard 10.6. With a little poking around I figured it out and now I think the Jambox is behaving the way it is supposed to.

I give the Jambox four stars because:
(a) it does a great job as a bluetooth speakerphone with my iPhone, improving a bit on the iPhone’s capacity to do that job itself. I used it in my hotel room while it charged, right out of the box. It was a couple of feet away from me as I worked and I could hear the other parties obviously and they could hear me. Then again at a meeting in an office when a speakerphone has been needed impromptu, I whipped it out and there was no fuss, just performance.
(b) As an external bluetooth speaker it gives good quality not superb but, for its size it is better than any of the other solutions I have bought over the years. It is useful to dont have cords (a corded set of speakers by the same price could outperform the Jambox). But, it’s great to have the wireless box for both my iPhone and laptop when I work around the house (my home office), and I have used it in the car enjoyably.

On another note, my twelve yr old just picked it up and took it downstairs to see how far it may travel from my laptop and still pump out the music. It was remarkable. He made it all the way downstairs to the other side of our house before losing the connection.

3.0 out of five stars Disappointing in comparison to the “original”, May 17, 2011
By oluv (Austria, Vienna) See all my reviews This review is from: Jawbone JAMBOX (Black Diamond) (Wireless Phone Accessory) I already have two Foxls from Soundmatters. The Jambox is depending on the same acoustic design from Soundmatters but inside a different body and as claimed by Aliph with optimized and strengthened body design. So I hoped the Jambox could give me many improvement in sound, but i was wrong.

Both of my Foxls are different variants, the 1st one is variant 2, the new one variant 2.2 and there are important differences in sound between both. The 1st Foxl had awful bluetooth quality, separately from that my major criticism was the somewhat weak maximum volume. This improves many when plugged in, but from battery the Foxl wasn’t deafening enough for my taste ensuing in distorted sound once turned up a bit strogner. The newest Foxl is different, bluetooth quality improved and the sound is more refined. Treble is less severe while simultaneously bass is stronger in the upper frequencies, as mids are clearer than before. Unfortunately the newest Foxl suffers more at higher volume levels. The last variant applied many kind of compression/limiting to the music when turned up louder to avoid distortion. This is the common effect you also get when listening to FM radio stations. To accomplish maximum volume and drown any background sound, most radio stations apply compression to the music. The new Foxl does not do that anymore, so it distorts more quickly particularly with peak sounds like kick drums etc. It tries to avoid distortion differently. When there’s lots of bass, it lowers in general volume observably, which results in a somewhat “pumping” effect. I’m not sure if I really like the new approach better than before. The last compression was more “musical” and added some “punch” to the music at higher levels.

Now to the Jambox: It sounds more or less like the last Foxl variant with improved Bluetooth streaming quality. But the unit I received has extra problems with the housing that resonates when deeper bass notes are played. In comparison to the newest Foxl the Jambox sounds inferior by all means when listening to both at normal levels. Bass from Foxl is stronger and cleaner simultaneously, bluetooth quality is alike with both, but in comparison to a wired connection both still sound observably worse through bluetooth. At higher levels the Jambox behaves the same as the old Foxl, it looks to apply the same compression and sounds louder and less stressed than the newest Foxl, but in general I wasn’t able to detect any enhancements in sound in comparison to the “original”. In spite of of the bigger size, the Jambox still has the same low output like the Foxl. There’s no dynamic sound modification based on the output level. I begged for this for a long time. Adding a bit more bass at lower volume and taking some bass away at higher volume to optimize output at all listening levels.

The only real difference is the design. If you really want a blue, red or grey brick, you’ll be better off with a Jambox, otherwise i propose you to take the Foxl. If you do not need loudest output, the newest Foxl variant sounds certainly better and is smaller simultaneously. But the differences in maximum volume between Foxl and Jambox are in reality not that big. Both aren’t suited at all for outside listening. It should also be mentioned that when plugged in, output is cleaner and louder from the Foxl. It plays with double power (2×4 Watt) then, unlike the Jambox which only has 2×2 Watt despite if running from battery or plugged in.

I am sending my Jambox back, as I see no real advances. In spite of the rubber covering, the Jambox also dances around when playing bass heavy music. You have to use many cloth or extra rubber mat (like the one included with the Foxl) to avoid this.

I am still hoping for an improved Jambox variant. Crossingfingers

Update:
Meanwhile Jawbone has done two firmwareupdates. Variant 2.0 was a pretty catastrophe, because it lowered maximum volume a pretty bit as indicated by many disappointed users. I had not done the update as i did not want to screw up the volume of my Jambox. But many weeks afterward Jawbone came up with a fix and declared firmware 2.1. The volume issue was fixed and the user can decide now between clearness ON and OFF. OFF is the way how it was before, but ON makes the output significant lower, all the complaints, though Jawbone still claims this is to offer a clearer distortion free sound and isn’t lower at all. Well, I favor it louder to tell the truth and have set clearness to OFF.
The more interesting feature is the new “Liveaudio” setting. Pressing both volume buttons simultanously you may be able to switch between both modes. With Liveaudio the Jawbone sounds considerably bigger at low volumes. The frequency answer was tweaked for a much more bassheavy clearer sound, which is much larger simultaneously. You have the impression if the sound comed beyond the small Jambox. Unfortunately with active Liveaudio the maximum volume is as low as it’s with clearness ON and the other problem is that Liveaudio distorts at higher volume levels. It sounds pretty good with low levels up to speech volume, but turn it a bit louder (still far from maximum volume in normal mode) and Liveaudio distorts heavily, particularly obvious with bassdrum sounds, or low bassnotes etc.

I still hope Jawbone will do many more tweaks to enhance sound in future. Liveaudio shows great possible, but it should change its sound to the volume automatically, now Liveaudio is trying to push too hard in the bass department which results in significant distortion. It could have been better if Jawbone tuned the bass down, if you increase volume. I already complained, but nobody looks to listen.
