Ok so we have the bed with the bluetooth speakers in it but my husband couldn't get it to sinc with the bed speakers. We put a regular bluetooth speaker in the headboard and it works great so maybe it's the bed speakers. Either way it's great because now I don't have to listen to the TV screaming at me (he's a little hard of hearing).

The Bluetooth does not synch with my iphone so I have had to use the wire connection. That worked fine for sometime but then I took the speaker for a vacation and the point where we put the wire to connect to the iphone broke. So now the speaker is only playing the role of a paper weight.

Its a basic blue tooth system, which is what I wanted. Not alot of power, so probably not something you want for a larger room. I'm thinking of moving it into the bedroom. Some issues with blue tooth streamed music "skipping" every once in a while, but it could be my phone, the distance, etc

My wife has hearing problems so we have a conflict watching TV.  If it's loud enough for her, the rest of us are getting our ears blasted.  But, if it's just right or even a little loud for us, it's not loud enough for her to make anything out.

I came up with the great idea of a portable blue tooth speaker that she could have next to her with the volume turned up for her while the TV is at a lower volume for the rest of us.  Her favorite seat is in a reading corner in our living room so this would work perfectly.  Or so I thought.

There is a slight lag in the signal so there is a serious echoing going on.  You hear the TV and a split second later, the sound from the portable speaker.  Works for her since she can't hear the TV but for the rest of us we can hear both sources and the echo is unbearable.

I'll be trying another transmitter and hope I get better performance.

Also, it isn't working from my TV microphone jack.  It does come with the red and white audio jacks though and that is working perfectly.

On the plus side, it synched immediately with the portable speaker and I have the usb line plugged in to my TV and it is running while plugged in.  I assume it is charging but haven't actually checked to make sure. .

I bought a Jawbone JAMBOX from onesaleaday.com. I don't know if my speaker has a defect but the volume on it is nonexistent. Listening to it in a small kitchen or bathroom is pointless. My Logitech UE version of the same has a much higher volume. I can't imagine they're all like this but if they are wow! Look elsewhere.

So I used the speaker last night as I have it on the headboard so I could listen to music while I sleeped  I purchased it for the auto shut off but when I woke this morning the blue light was still on and flashing so the unit did not turn itself off. Not sure if defective or not,  I also thought volume on speaker would be independent of phone but it is not, that being said it looks nice but not really what I expected, still may return as auto shut off was it's selling point to me, I hope manufacturer reads and gets back to me.  After an experiment I found the unit does turn off after 15 minutes however it has to have terminated its Bluetooth connection that's not how it is stated on the website or in the instructions it just States the unit will turn off after 15 minutes of inactivity so I suggest the manufacturers change that on their website and in the instructions otherwise if the Bluetooth connection remains even if there's no activity for 15 minutes the unit remains on now how much battery drain that causes I'm not sure but I'm sure it's insignificant for that I will give the unit four stars vice 3

We have to stick something up against the plug to get it to connect to the bose speaker which is why I rated it low. It works fine when it is connected.

This bluetooth portion of the speaker only pairs with a phone, and isn't very loud.  I am thinking about returning it.  Not what I was looking for, at all. Also, I don't know who wrote the manual.  As others note, this is only 8 watts instead of the advertised 12. The speakers are not very loud. *  This started working with my computer two weeks later, and the sound is now better.  Not sure what was going on with it.  But it is okay now.

I got the bluetooth speakers. Turn it on, and switch to bluetooth mode, and from there on it will scream in broken English: "bluetooth mode has been on" every time you turn it on.

The second time I tried to use it, it played music for about 20 minutes, then sound became intermittently glitchy. After another 5 minutes, it got stuck beeping and will not respond to any buttons/commands. I literally can't turn off a speaker that is just beeping non-stop (see my video). Looks like it's going to be keeping everyone up tonight.

I bought a Play:1, a Play:3, and a PlayBar and set them up in 3 different rooms. The app often cannot find any of them, and when it can find something it finds a random single speaker instead of all 3. This problem happens on multiple phones, and their feedback is to reconfigure the speakers, which only solves the problem for a short time.

As for sound quality, the speakers that are part of my TV are better for watching TV and movies, but the SoundBar is better for music.

**update** my speaker randomly stopped playing music. It turns on, pairs with my phone, makes a little veep sound when the volume is turned to max or min., it changes songs but yet no music actually comes from it anymore. I've tried to reset it but seems to do nothing. I'm very disappointed. It's not like I used the speaker everyday, maybe like 3 times a week for a couple hours each day and it's less than 2 years old 

I love this little speaker. I also have the Magicbox  ll speaker, which is also great. But this one does have more bass and the volume seems to be a little louder. I use it in my room and it's perfect. Holds a charge for a long time. Compact and can be taken anywhere.

I LOVE this speaker. Sits on my headboard at a low volume so I don't disturb the rest of the house

Please look at this as an alarm clock with a bluetooth speaker included. I judged this based on the fact that it is an alarm clock with bluetooth speaker. Things I like: fairly compact, monotone clock face (great for next to the bed - especially while you are sleeping), 2 USB ports for charging, and pleasant alerts. bluetooth functionality. Things I didn't like - buttons on top with a couple flush with the unit, controls not very intuitive, speaker (its JBL - it should be good).

Great alarm clock  4/5 stars - .5 stars for less than stellar controls and -.5 stars for the speaker (you expect more from JBL).

When you look at the picture it looks like a full speaker is in there, but the speaker it comes with is actually smaller then what's pictured. I'm going to upload a picture of what I'm talking about.

I thought it was a fluke that someone noted an audio book had a noise, but this was one of the major reasons why we purchased this item.

You can not play an audio book on this device with out the noise but my phone audio books plays fine on my friends UE BOOM Bluetooth speaker..

Wish there was info on how too fix this problem somewhere. Some Bluetooth speaks have updates available..

I was NOT provided  a discount with purchase of this product and my honest and unbiased opinions above are my own and were not influenced in any way.
