Is this louder than the bose mini sound link or the big jam box? Good for a field or party?

I own this and the the big jambox. This is not louder than the big jambox, however it is more portable and is louder than the original jambox (which I used to own until I replaced it with this). Probably good for a hotel room party. A field? Probably depends on how large the field is.

Haven't experienced the Bose Mini. Unit may not be the solution for a large party in a field, but would do the job at most aprtment/home parties

Yes. Gets really loud for such a small boom box. Just be sure to have your iPod volume up and then turn it up. It's actually pretty loud. I was more than happy with it.

It's pretty loud for being how small it is. Depends how big the space is for the party. If you're in an apartment/condo absolutely. If you're in an 8 bedroom three story house, probably not...

Both are excellent! If you want more power get big Jam Box but the smaller Jam Box is good too. Read the consumer reports for more info and even though CR does not rate them well, I have both and l am very pleased with the quality. My daughter uses her Big Jam Box as her only audio source in her NYC Apartment.

This can get pretty loud for a small portable device, but the louder you play it, the shorter the battery lasts. I think it could easily drown out reasonable/ moderate background noise. It gets louder than the sleep sheep by cloud b.

Hi, Justin. I would stick with an external speaker. The BassJump is a base-reinforcement speaker that compliments the laptop's build in speakers. It works OK, but I think a separate, full range (and wireless) speaker is the way to go for training situations, which I also do as a career consultant. BTW, I just got the Bose SoundLink Mini and it is an awesome bluetooth speaker. Not cheap, but great performance for a tiny portable speaker. Fills the room with sound. You might want to check it out for your training.

I listened to this speaker at Best Buy today, and would say definitely not. The UE mini Boom was shockingly loud however, so you might want to give that one a try. I am not a speaker expert... I just listened to the speakers available at the store, and based on that, this is the best advice I can give.

That depends on some things. I'd say it SOUNDS louder because everything is closer to you, the player. It definitely is easier to blow (responds easily) and sounds nicer at higher volumes than my Holton TR602

Sounds way better than the big jambox in my opinion. Bluetooth is much worse than the Bluetooth on the jambox though.

Charles has a nice size volume. I have had a party and used it as the main source of entertainment. I have it located in the basement and I can hear it all the way upstairs on the second level. I love it also bought one for my brother and he loves it also.

Party? No. For that I would go all out and buy the Mini-Bose. It has distortion, but does not play loud enough to really hear it. Believe me, you do not want this one for a party. I got it for my kayak so I can play it while fishing. It is loud enough to hear then but I would never use it for a party or alike. Even in the garage while working I break out the Bose.

Yes. I played under a big pavillion in a public park for over 100 people and it was easily heard. I was pleasantly surprised at the loudness (and everything else about it also).

Honestly, I haven't taken it to full volume. Never needed to. If you need a TON of sound, a small Bluetooth set won't help you, no matter who makes it. This is for portable situations, not to entertain a bunch of folks for a party or anything like that. If your group is larger than about 6-8 people and/or you have a large space to fill, look to the next level up in size. I.e., bookshelf size stereo.

It is much smaller than the big jambox, slightly larger than the small jambox. I own the Pill and previously owned the small jambox. I think the sound is superior to the small jambox, but I can't comment on the larger jambox. I would imagine the larger speakers of the larger jambox would produce better audio than the Pill. Just depends on your preference - audio or size.

I don't have a decibel meter. But in terms of "keeping up" with a band it does very well as long as you plug an acoustic and mic DIRECTLY into the Bose L1 Compact. There seems to be internal compression/gate that allows you to get really loud without feedback. If you plan to entertain more than 100 people then I'd get the BIG Bose L1 with Bass Mod.

No, this is a quality speaker. It doesn't produce any noise. But I will reiterate as I said in my review: if you can afford it, the Bose SoundLink Mini is a better-sounding speaker (for $50 more).

I haven't tried UE boom, but I have tried Big Jambox. There isn't much difference in sound quality. Battery life is more in Jambox though. But the price difference isn't justifiable. TDK won't disappoint
