I don't own this but I own the JLab "The Crasher" and the case is identical to the picture shown here. One of them is probably a rip-off of the other. Based on the good reviews on both this SimplyVibe and The Crasher, I'd go with the cheaper of the two which is this one.

I do not know the one you are talking about, but I have the SimplyVibe and it works great for me: in the car or in the house when I listen to books off my ipad.

IMHO the sound is pretty much the same as the hesh's sound, that is also similar to the crusher. I already have one of each and I think that the crusher is the best among them (If you like its bass feature, of course).

I have read the same thing, but both J&R Music and Amazon continue to sell this item -- is it an upgrade ... a NEW model ... or a close-out of the old potentially "defective" unit?

I had the same issue and returned them and got a less expensive fataly1. not quite as comfortable and in stero only. I run a sound blaster card with great 2. 1 and 5.1 plugged in back. It your choise.

Totally different. Those are portable, this is not. Sound is incomparable to those in a good way =)

Hi Alek, this is the 1st time I've been asked to share my experience with a product. Hope I can help you. Honestly I think the product is great. It is loud enough. But with our heater, humidifier and other environment noises and wanting to hear it two rooms away I sometime desire more volume to listen to lectures without having to move it to another room (just me as I get busy). The impact resistance feature and other great features..I plan on keeping it and using it quite a bit. My husband not really "teched", easily connected this bluetooth to the laptop and I only showed him once. Yes, I would recommend it highly..but if you are looking for mega volume/sound double watts to the 20...and you can handle the huge increase in price...check out the NEW BRAVEN 855s Black/Gray Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Speakerphone & Charger. I'm hoping to get that next when i can afford it and have it centrally located, but then have the Braven BRV-1 to use as well when it's for me personally. I don't think you will be disappointed unless you can desiring big, blasting sound. I'm thrilled with this product.

Hello! I got Valencia CL-160 couple of months ago. Honestly, I'd rather pay two times more and get a cheaper version of Cordoba or Yamaha. (I have Yamaha 3/4 and it sounds brilliant).The guitar is rough and sound like a piece of wood. Strings are too high and you can't adjust them because there is no key hole. Electronic part is very cheap - the sound is awful. As usual: you're getting what you payed. Sorry for such a negative comment!

Has a very similar sound. I just have a stock sound system in my car so not sure how it might sound with a more custom setup.

I thought the same thing, so I emailed 66 audio to see if they were indeed the same. They responded very quickly stating that the Soundbots were knock offs made to look like their product, but using inferior bluetooth and sound components. This appears to be true as these are BT 2.1 and the 66 audio ones are 4.0. One of the main complaints in the comments in these is signal dropping, while the 66 audio has very little complaint regarding that. I suppose you take a chance with whatever you buy when you can't try things out first, however, 66 audio claims that they are not the same, and that they are in fact currently in litigation with Soundbot over the issue.

Yeah, the jbuds do sound a bir muffled to me. Well compared to my other in ear headphones. Just not very clear. I dont know its hard to tell. Its not super muffled like covering the speaker, but it is lacking in i "crispness" u could say

Well let me ask you, what are you looking for it to do? It's no Boom Box or Bose. All I can say it sounds great out doors when I work. I am very pleased with The Crasher, for my self....if I want it to sound like an out door theater, I would buy three and put around my property. Everyone hears things differently, you know how many time critics are wrong! Good luck, buy it, you won't be disappointed, especially for the distance you can use it!

I am uncertain about the sound of the big jambox. However, I heard the sound of a small jambox and it does not compare to the pill. As I mentioned in a previous post, the pill is costly but worth the investment.

It has really, really, horrible onboard speakers. They are worse than the cheapest speakers you can plug into an mp3 player. I am not exaggerating. I think the only way to get it to play through better speakers would be to plug it into a receiver or TV. It is absolutely too cheap to bother trying to get it to play through good speakers; I ran it through my TV sound system and the sound was horrible. I beg of you, do not buy this! It is the absolute cheapest thing they could manufacture and still have it work. It is really toy-like. Save another 150 bucks and get something that works OK for around 250 or so.

I concur with exactly what jb said... I plugged it into an older Dennon recevier phono jacks and it sounded awful, as soon as plugged in to a aux input, sounded like it should. The only thing I don't like about it is that there is not a little needle lift/drop thingy :) I think the model that replaced the one I bought does have it.

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?

Even though it doesn't have BT 4.0, the benefits of 4.0 vs 3.0 do not impact sound quality from what I have read while researching bluetooth headphones. This is because streaming music is a high bandwidth activity and BT 4.0 improvements are in low energy low bandwidth applications. The Jaybird BlueBuds have excellent sound quality but run BT 2.1 + EDR. I'm wondering if it effects standby time though, but I don't really care about that with bluetooth headphones. The sound quality comes more from the codec used (aptX or jaybird's Shift) and the quality of the headphone itself. This headphone has aptX and a balanced armature driver, which is a very good combination. I'd definitely test them both out and decide for myself which are better.

Yes. I'm very happy with mine. Looks and sounds just like the JBL Eon. Plus it has bluetooth.
