I have both the small Jambox and the BeatBox. Although I think the
Jambox sounds slightly better for music having a bit more bass response,
I actually use the BeatBox daily and not the Jambox. You get a ton of
volume with absolutely no distortion, and you also have controls for
prev/next and play/pause which the Jambox doesn't have. These controls
are a must in my opinion. I would never buy another speaker without
these controls.
Best,

I'm looking to purchase a portable bluetooth speaker for use with both
my iPhone 5 and my Victor Reader Stream. I don't want to spend over $100
and although it would be nice if the speaker could double as a speaker
phone and allow me to answer calls, that's not a strict requirement. I'm
mainly interested in sound quality including acceptable volume without
distortion. The unit will have to have an auxiliary 3.5mm jack to enable
me to attach my non-bluetooth Stream but most units I've reviewed do
have this jack. To recap, the main things I'm looking for:
1. Good sound quality with acceptable volume without distortion.
2. Portability. I want to be able to move this around easily and take
it on the road too.
3. External 3.5mm auxiliary jack.
4. Ability to use the speaker while it's charging.
5. Ability to use the speaker with more than one bluetooth device would
be a bonus although not a strict requirement.
6. The ability for the speaker to act as a speaker phone and allow the
user to answer incoming calls would also be a nice feature.
The models I'm considering are:
1. JBL Flip Wireless Bluetooth Speaker - $88.99 plus $8 shipping at
Amazon vendor.
2. Logitech UE Mobile Boombox - $87.79 at Amazon.
3. BeatBox by Desaia - $70 plus $7 shipping from SpeedDots.
I realize speaker recommendations are highly subjective but I'm hoping
by listing what I'm looking for and the models I'm considering, someone
who has actually heard some of these models can provide some suggestions.
Thanks in advance for any help.
