In the two years since the Jawbox Jambone came out, other options have hit the market with varying new features and improved specs. But although some of the new challengers are legit, the Jambox remains the original Bluetooth speaker to find the right mix of attractive design, ease of use, and quality. Brian Lam over at the Wirecutter has a soft spot in his heart for this speaker, and Wired's Mat Honan likes its big brother's sound quality.
It's a great Bluetooth speaker, and it allows you to free your (questionable) music choices from your headphones and play them anywhere, like the beach, or the park, or shorter trips like your patio. Plus, since it connects to your phone through Bluetooth, it will outlast your current smartphone; no Apple connector update is going to make this speaker obsolete. Amazon's got the Jambox in four different colors today for only $130, which is the lowest price on the internet and the lowest price ever seen for the Jambox (except for a few hours on Black Friday.)
