Reviews for JAMBOX by Jawbone Wireless Speaker - Black

This is my SECOND Jambox and only because the first one I bought essentially didn't work or if it did, only sporadically. The worst part was the hassle I had to go through to get it replaced. Yes, Jambox did finally send me a new one but said that I would have no guarantee on it, because I refused to pay for the postage to California (from BC) - - heck, why should I when I'd spent $200 on a 'Jambox guaranteed' device that didn't work?

The 2nd one, while better, still has issues: pop and hiss like our old LPs for crying out loud! Blue tooth failure? I don't know why this happens everyday several times a day in mid-stream. Then, the delay to get it to connect with its annoying blooping noise. The amount of TIME I spend on trying to reconnect is a total pain!

On the positive side, when it's working properly, in a small space, it can sound good (not loads of volume but certainly adequate for the size). Packing up is easy: you can throw it in a backpack or purse and off you go.

In the end I would not buy another Jambox: too expensive for the hassle.

The Jambox is a great speaker for on the go with surprising sound quality for such a small device. My only complaint is the volume of the speaker is somewhat limited in my opinion but the sound quality makes up for that small gripe. The website is easy to navigate and the ability to change the settings and download new updates for the speaker makes me excited for the prospect of things to come.

For the size I am mystified how they get such quality out of a box this small. Chrystal clear sound and for watching movies it is great. It is small enough to take anywhere. My wife and I used it in the hospital so we could watch movies together on her Kindle. Wish it was less expensive though. A bit pricey though. Not a bad speaker phone either for group calls or handsfree calling at home

I recently received a Jambox and it works great. I have an iPad 2 and an older iPd touch (3rd Generation) and it pairs quickly and sounds great for a device of its size. I also use my android phone to many calls on speaker phone and i havent had any problems with it, it imagine it works the same way an an iPhone. one problem, it wont pair with my MacBook Pro. it isn't the new retina display model and i dont know if that makes a difference but it wont pair. all in all, great product.

Bought it thinking it would sound good. Tested with: 1)Gym Class Hero-Martryial Girl and 2)fighter. 3) Nicki Minaj-Roman Revenge and a bunch others.

The sound of the speaker is minimal. If you want a loud speaker, avoid this one . The sound is very muted. it sounds like if you were to put a blanket over your speaker. That is what the Jambox sounds like. That said the speaker can't handle bass very well. It is cracking at the loudest volume. The treble is set low so it's not very clear. Horrible quality. Will end up returning today.

I did buy the Beats Pills by Dr Dre. It sounds much clearer, much louder, and can handle the bass of the 3 songs mentioned above. I would have kept it, except that it doesn't support the iphone5. Seriously??? Husband called their support line and was told that we will have to mail it to them so that they can upgrade the firmware. Forget that. I'm not mailing anything. The Pill is going back to the store too.

Will try the Bose next...

Although I own and have owned the bigger (version of this product) happily for the last 6 months, I can say that it is and enjoyable product.
Give it a couple of minutes to connect via bluetooth for best results. The sound is phenomenal, powerful, full, rich etc. Do not hesitate on this product. But again, I'm reviewing and recommending the larger jambox---which has the same look entirely.

I was delighed when I got the jambox out of the box and set it up: it's a beautiful design. I was also happy with the ease of set-up; anyone could do it. But then I turned on the music. I couldn't believe how horrible the sound was. It was so bad I thought I had it set up wrong and tried again. Same story. The sound is far worse than you would expect for a $20 speaker from Radio Shack. For $200 I expected a lot more.

Luckily I bought it at my local Apple store, so I returned it easily, quickly, and with no questions asked.

For the price, it's certainly disappointing. My iPhone 4 bluetooth connection is stable, but the volume won't fill even a small room. From a Macbook Pro (Late 2008), the static, tiny gaps in sound, and pops make it of unacceptable quality. See their own forums and you'll see lots of complaints. I returned mine.

It has an amazing base to it for just a small little thing . But if you want to rock out to something or blast your music really loud . this is not the right speakers for you . i just got it tonight and its just to quiet for my type , yes its loud but i like to blast my music . But very good quality worth your money (:
