Re: Extremely small, clip-on bluetooth speaker
Hi Sieghard. I also think a speaker that can be attached to a backpack or a coat would be a very good solution. I have the new mini jambox jawbone speaker and for now I have put it into a fromt pocket on my bag, and I can hear it. I am working on a solution, so that I can attach it to the strap on my shoulderbag. Best regards Annie. Den 24 Jan 2014 kl. 05:43 skrev Sieghard Weitzel : > Thanks, Ed.

RE: Extremely small, clip-on bluetooth speaker
Thanks, Ed. I had a look at this speaker and found th emanual which showed slightly different dimensions than Amazon. I just measured my original Jambox as a comparison and the Philips speaker is about an inch and a half shorter, it's about half an inch taller and more or less the same thickness. The difference in length is about 25% shorter, but the weight is shown only as 120 grams whereas the Jambox weighs almost 350 grams, so almost 3 times as much. In conclusion I would say the size is such that the Philips could be used as a portable speaker mounted on a backpack strap or so, but it's too big and heavy to be clipped on a piece of clothing. It also only has 1.2 Watts output power and there is no volume control on the speaker, you have to change the volume using the iPhone's volume buttons and it's also only Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, not Bluetooth 3.0 let alone 4.0. It's inexpensive, but I think I will continue to keep watch for something truly small and of clip-on size. Failing that I will, at some point in Q2 of this year, hopefully get my Soundband headset which is probably a much better solution anyways.

Hello Sieghard, Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner on this speaker. The speaker is a Philips Bluetooth speaker sbt10whi/37. I have used it since X-mas on my iPad and it works very well. It does have a microphone and buttons on it to use with the iPhone for phone calls. It has a very good bass sound. I purchase mine from Walmart for around $19.95 at Christmas time. . There is a little rubber tab out the side where you could put a clip on it to fasten to your collar.

Re: Extremely small, clip-on bluetooth speaker
I am quite sure he was talking about the Phillips sound shooter. I did purchase this speaker from Phillips, but I found it was too big and too heavy to use as described. Yes, it did sound fairly good, but did not meet my requirement for portability for the purposes we were discussing, I. E. Navigation apps.
