Jawbone - BIG JAMBOX Bluetooth Wireless Speaker - Red Dot

so i picked this up today. the white looks so perfect with all of my idevices since my iPhone,iPod,iPad are all white. the sound is out of this world. you get the true full features of what the song/movie/whatever you use it for should sound like. the fact that you can play pause and skip right from the jam box is fantastic and all the options you get and will get in the future are fantastic. my one dislike is the power cord i wish they had used the same one as the smaller jam box with the folding plug and the usb option

I hung a 20"ish tv and wanted a sound bar for my wife's office. There weren't many options that were small enough to fit. I have a chromecast on the tv so bluetooth isn't really needed but its a nice bonus. I got a good looking cheap shelf at Lowes and couldn't be happier. Great sound without the need of a sub! Happy wife happy life!

Just love this speaker! Sounds just as good as our $1000 Stereo System we own. Pairing to any bluetooth devices very simple. I've paired it to my IPad and IPhone. All I got say is don't turn it up to load outside unless you want your neighbors to complain! Unless they like loud music! I love bringing it outside on my patio. Had some friends over and they couldn't believe how good the bass sounded and the clarity. They all want to go buy one now!!!! It takes about 2.5hours to fully charge. And the charge last about 12hours or longer! Pricey, but worth every bit! Does not come with a case, that sells for $50. Can't wait to bring it on our camping trip

I impulse-bought the Jawbone's Big Jam box to go with my Surface Pro, reviewed elsewhere on this sight. It was Bluetooth, which I needed, I recognized the company, and the style wowed me. I got the red, which would not look out of place on the set of a David Lynch movie. The heaviness gives a solid feel that bespeaks confidence and authority. It is eye-catching, but almost retro. (Also available in other colors, including boring white, plus you can buy custom kits to make it blend with your décor or reflect your favorite color.# it fits easily just about anywhere. Being wireless, you're likely to use it just about everywhere. After a two and a half hour charge-up, you're ready for setup. It was easy, except I had to download a Bluetooth update for my Surface Pro. #It would recognize the device and pair, but not connect.# I found a link from the support discussion boards. An update program is installed which, besides getting everything up and running, let's you change the "personality" of your Big Jambox's voice, which is an important element to the user interface. Now you probably want to know how it sounds. The Bear is from an era when decent stereophonic sound involved large woofers, tweeters, lots of power from an amp, and a spaghetti bowl of wires. My Big Jambox gives sound as good as I remember, from a single, wireless, battery-powered device slightly larger than a brick. How? Obviously, through sorcery. Oh, they may claim it is some kind of whiz bang acoustic technology, but I cannot believe it. Only sorcery could produce sound like that from something so small. Now I'm playing Tusk by Fleetwood Mac. Cranked to the max, it will not blow out the windows, but is as loud as I would want to play it. The sound is crisp with the separate elements of the texture picked out. It has a "live" room-filling sound with excellent mid-range and high sound, and an adequate bass. #It may be sorcery, but it is small, so you can't expect a huge thumpin' bass.# Now a Bach fugue. Here I have to turn it down. Sounds great. Close my eyes, and I can almost imagine I have a pipe organ in my living room. Now Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons. It really sounds good, and again, the "live" sound making up for the mediocre acoustics in the average living room. For me, Big Jambox is my home music system, The lack of seismic bass is made up for by overall great sound quality, convenience and style. In addition to Bluetooth, you can connect through the mini #headphone# jack. It has a standard USB cable for when it needs to communicate with your computer #e.g. setup#. There's a power cord, too. #Expect 10+ hours actual use on battery. This makes battery use a non-issue. Big Jam box will courteously notify you when you are approaching the need for a recharge.# Everything is included, as one should expect for $299. Big Jambox is just one of those things that is a pleasure to own, because it is obvious how much attention was lavished on the design. Great sound, impressive style, portable, easy to use, wireless and fun. This easily gets five stars across the board.

This is my first sound system purchase as I would normally listen to music off of my laptop or on the radio. I decided to upgrade when I had a nice accumulation of rewards credit. I listen to the radio daily for news and I can hear it all over my apartment in the morning when getting ready. Listening to music on here is incredible. I was debating between this and the Beats Pill but I listen to mostly rock, folk, metal and related genres with very little pop or hip hop and the Beats Pill was extremely basey. The Jambox sound is much better for the type of music I listen to. I also plugged it into my TV last night to watch a movie and it was awesome. Very little complaints so far but I only have it for about a month or two so we'll see how long it lasts for. My only complaints is that it would be great if it came with a remote because when I tried changing the volume on my TV it wouldn't change on the Jambox so I had to get up and do it manually on the box. I also wish that it would give you a warning when your battery is running low so you can plug it in before it immediately dying on you. Otherwise I'm so glad I upgraded!

I had owned the Bose SoundLink for just over a month, but returned it and bought the Jawbone - Big Jambox instead (thanks Best Buy for your generous return policy). There are plenty of online reviews comparing the two - the price is identical and they are both Bluetooth speakers. Which sounds better? That's a toss-up. Some say the Bose (better bass), some say the Jambox (better treble). For most people it's too close to call, if my experience is any indication. And since the price is the same, it comes down to features and design. I returned the Bose because I realized it was lacking in features compared to the Jambox. I'm so glad I did. I love being able to pause and skip from the unit instead of from my iPhone. The battery life is also better by several hours, and I prefer the design of the Jambox. Plus you can have two devices paired at once (though they can't, of course, simultaneously play). And the Jambox gives voice alerts ("The Jambox is fully charged" for example). Both of these units are great, but for features and design, the Jambox is the obvious choice.

I originally had the first Jambox and I loved it, except it wasn't as loud as I thought it would be. When I got the e-mail about the release of the new Big Jambox, I immediately had to get it. Purchased it online and received it today and was amazed. Sound and clarity of the music was AMAZING compared to some of the wireless speakers. Live Audio function was also great to get more of a surround sound feeling! I was debating whether to get this or the Bose Soundlink, but decided to go with the Big Jambox because of the live audio and also the ability to have two way communication just in case you were to receive a phone call. Overall satisfied with the purchase!

I listened to a few different speakers in the store after doing extensive online research including the smaller Jambox, the JBL flip, the Bose Soundlink the Beats Pill and the Big Jambox. Since I did NOT want to spend $300.00 on a bluetooth speaker and was hoping for something more portable, I purchased the JBL flip for only $100.00. I was happy about my purchase until I got it home, paired it up with my cell phone, walked only 8 to 10 feet from the speaker and it started cutting out on me. If you are going to keep the Flip right next to or very close your audio source, it is a really nice, clear sounding speaker. From what I read online, I was not alone with my bluetooth connection problem. Upon returning the Flip, I re-considered the smaller Jambox, but the sound was muddy at higher volumes. I also looked at the Logitech Mini Boombox and the Jabra Solemate, which was enticing with it's cool little outdoor speaker bag included and rugged, portable design. Unfortunately, neither were loud enough for my needs. My salesperson suggested going with the BIg Jambox and I am very glad I did. The Big Jambox totally rocks and the live audio mode is simply superb sounding, at least to my ears. It also has a nice balanced sound, not too much treble or bass, but enough bass to sound good. When I got it home, I paired it up easily, with no bluetooth issues. Works with my Android phone, IPad Mini and Macbook Pro. I was so surprised at the distances I could go away from it that I even went on to my back porch with the speaker, shut the sliding glass door and left my phone inside with the excellent results. Bottom line, get this speaker if you can afford it. Sure, it's not the most portable one of the bunch, but it exudes quality, sounds great and has a great form factor. The packaging is nice, lots of accessories are included (wish it came with some sort of a case, though). Today I bought a case for $50.00 to be able to take it to the beach! EXCELLENT product!! With the Big Jambox, you definitely get what you pay for! Very highly recommended!
