How does the sound compare to the small Jawbone Jambox, which I'm using now as a speaker bar?

Only heard a Jawbone at the phone store.I thought the Jawbone generally had to at a higher volume to get a good mix sound (treble and base).This is still a small speaker set in a nice form factor but do not expect too much.It does fit nicely in front of my monitor.

I haven't used the Jawbone Jambox, but I'm perfectly pleased with my Jawbone UP24. As for this Durherm Powerful USB powered blah blah blah....it's awfully cheap. At $35, it looks, feels, and sounds like it should be $5 at a flea market.

volume is comparable...the sound isn't as rich (little bass) overall, for what want it for, it works great....but a have a bose Bluetooth speaker for serious music listening...this one works great for lower volume background music for work time.

I do not have a Jawbone jambox, but having heard them before I do not think the Durherm unit would have as good a sound quality.

The mini jambox is the size of a large cell phone and is good for inside. Good for casual listening. The Jambox is the size of an 8-pack box of soda and pumps out alot of volume. Great for poolside or parties.

I currently have two iLive sound bars - the most recent is the ITP 280B. Had it for a month and used it a couple of times - so far so good.

Klipsch has bigger speakers 12" and has deeper bass resonance when placed on hard floor. It has better bass tonals than JBL dancehall speakers. My neighbors complained to my landlord when I saw Jurassic Park when it was coupled with my Bose 901's. I literally saw the water disturbance on my cup of water.

Honestly, I can not compare as I have not tried the other. Obviously, it has lots more power. As a previous audiophile, I can tell you that although "sound bars" are convenient they do not compare with real amplifiers and reals speakers. I can tell you I am happy with the sound, and the digital input works well with my 60 inch 1080p 3D TV. My only complaint is when you use digital input you have to use the rinky dink remote that came with the sound bar to control the volume. My advise is don't skimp on sound it is just as important as the picture when it comes to watching movies. Honestly, I can not compare as I have not tried the other.

I have been happy with the bass from the Boston unit given the context of what it is. I have only listened to the soundlink mini from Bose, but not directly compared the two. The bose unit is good but in my opinion the Boston unit is a better value at $150. It does fill the room with sound well and should work great in a 12x 12 room

It is better than the Jambox. The Big Jambox is much bigger and goes much louder then the FoxL V2.2

Well, JBL is definitely not portable in the sense that it requires being plugged in. Bose is pretty much top of the line, so I'm not sure what you are looking to improve on over the Soundlink? Maybe a higher model Bose?

When I looked at the different models it seemed that the main difference was the number of inputs. If your only using it to play music you will only need one input, so I would say the smaller model would work for you. Just check to see if there's any difference in the power of the speakers.

Nope for me too! See John's answer--the sound bars are good if a bit on the pricey side....for possibly more kicks at a bunch less dough grab one of Logitech's powered 2.1 systems...you'll get an e-z way to connect them to your TV [mini earphone jack], 2 satelite speakers and a nice little subwoofer. These are usually on the bright boomy side but I find them nice for contemtorary music. I did mention prices, right? I paid under 40 bux for my last set of logitech's...I'm not sure about these soundbars other than they were very costly at one time. So, do the math and spend well--Happy & Merry

it's surprisingly good! i have a small jambox that sounds nice but it blows it away. i also have the bigger soundlink bose that i paid $300 for and it's only a small step ahead of the mini on sound, clarity, and bass! i hope this helps!

I think that the plus model will be best. It has better sound quality and if you, later on, want to add more sound you can do that by just buying another one. I bought a jam plus speaker but I'm not that pleased with it. Guess you could say in a audiophile. It lacks base and distorts a lot. Might be a defective model. I found the JBL micro 1 or 2 to have better audio quality. More base i think. If I could reverse my buy i would have bought that. But still your choice. Goodluck

I primarily wanted to listen to podcasts while taking a shower. I found that very few Bluetooth speakers were loud enough for that, however the JBL Charge was plenty loud enough. The Mini Jambox was not loud enough and I had to return it.

Not much. I bought the Jamz bluetooth speaker for around$30, am much happier with that.

THis is a Jambox (medium) later they made the Big Jambox and recently they offer the Mini. I had to check out their website to get data

I've never compared the two sorry): but this speaker I've purchased has done wonders! Very loud and sounds great without being obnoxiously too big. Best part is I call it my portable Bluetooth speaker and bring it everywhere with me haha

No! This is the worst portable speaker I've tested. I have the beats pill and the jvc portable Bluetooth speaker. For the money and the sound quality the jvc is by far the best. The jam box is average but definitely better than the foxlv2. Hope this helps
