What's the difference between this one and the mini one (70 dollars cheaper) besides size? Is it really a crucial difference?

The Mini connects via Micro USB so its more likely to snap than this. But those cables aren't expensive and are easy to come by. If you are new to controllerism, though, I suggest saving the extra 70 because the smaller buttons can be a bit harder to learn on.

I think there is no difference. It depends on the price. You will be able to choose better one for you. Good luck.

Yes it is! I like the mini more, its more portable. To carry around, travel, lighter, etc.

All depends on what you ae doing, for camping I like the smaller one. It is easier to pack.

From reading the description i can't really see a huge difference between the two, but I have the portable one and love it and would highly recommend it.

I recently bought the mini and really like it. I have no experience with the larger Jambox. As it it's smaller than the Jambox, I think the biggest difference will be the capability of generating sound in the bass range, because you need the larger physical dimensions to generate strong low frequency sound. Despite its size, I think it has great bass for music which is where I think it matters most. The features I really like are the compact size - take it anywhere, and the talking battery level.

I have both. Both are solid performers. The G drive is much louder than the mini.

I can't speak to which one exactly because I've just just used the mini pro 2. I had the opportunity to borrow same several times before purchasing and was so satisfied that I committed the funds to purchase my own. The double heads are very comfortable, the long handle is perfect for the hard to reach areas and the long cord is a plus (sounds silly to mention the length of the cord, however when one is moving the apparatus around the length of cord never restricts the movement). There are 3 speeds for a choice of vibrations. I have chronic upper back problems and I could not live without the thumper - unless I want to spend my time and money at the physical therapist.

Haven't used the regular one, but the compact one works great... Can't imagine there's any difference.

I wonder why the less expensive one is less expensive...are the differences in feel, materials, quality and/or size?

As has been already answered, I believe it is simply that the Mini is smaller in size.

In my personal opinion the original is better. The mini seems flimsy compared to the original and as the name suggests it is indeed mini. The original can be used longer because it is larger, the mini is best for smaller and much younger babies. Our original still fits our 7 month old who is 22lbs and in size 12 month clothing; she still has room to spare. That said however, if you have very limited space the small is the second best option. I feel the mini still offers a good option, I would have purchased the mini had the original not been available. The original is slightly smaller than a play pen, and can be used as such.

I would skip the micro. The only real difference is that the brake on the micro is made of plastic. It's much more durable on this one. My son was three when he got this and did wonderfully on this one. Two years later it's still his favorite thing to ride.

From what I've read, the little one sounds exactly like mine, the one for $132. I would buy the cheaper one. I use it every day and love it!!

I also don't think there is a difference other than the size. I love it - hope you do also!

Mini should be fine but if you want extra room or if you have another case on your phone then I would go with the bigger, or rather, small because the mini will be snug. Hope this helps.

I think the only difference is the name brand. I went with the cheaper one just in case I didn't like it. Turns out, I really like and it was a good buy.
