Wireless Speakers Comparable to JBL ON Tour

2014-11-29 Thread Samuel Wilkins
Hello everyone, Does anyone know of any good wireless speakers that have a sound comparable to or better than my JBL on tour speakers? I have been considering the Jawbone Jambox speakers, but I was wondering if theyhave the same quality as the JBLs?

Its actually slightly smaller too than the Jawbone Jambox but far better sound and even more rugged. I think both Jawbone Jambox and Soundlink MINI are around the same price, think the Jawbone Jambox may have been slightly more expensive. On 30 Nov 2014, at 1:15 am, Samuel Wilkins

Well, just to be a devil's advocate, here is a very unfavorable review of the t7. This is basically why I don't put much faith in reviews, unless I know the reviewer and know his/jher taste is like my own, so I can be reasonably confident I will like what they do and dislike what the do.

The t7 sells for $349 in the U.S. on Amazon. Of possible interest is the fact that the special aptx technology that it uses to improve the bluetooth sound is not available on Apple devices and is apparently not likely to be, since Qualcom owns the company that invented it. Mary

I like the sound link 3 ok. I heard it with the less expensive Bose mini sound link, which was impressive for its size. But in the end, I spent the extra $ because of the fuller sound of the 3. It can be a bit too warm at times, and I think it definitely helps to have the speaker elevated to close
