You'll find Bluetooth speakers everywhere these days, and at every size and price point. Sure, they might have started life as the poor relations to king-of-the-hill Sonos and Apple's AirPlay family, but as we found the last time we looked at the market...

The 487,000th time I caught myself cupping my hand underneath my phone's speaker so my friends could hear a YouTube video, I finally came to grips with the idea that the speakers on my phone, my tablet, and my laptop are an affront to the music I listen t...

Bigger isn't always better, right? That's a rather old adage, and while it stands true for many things, gadgets included, it's anything but the case for Jawbone. And good thing, because their Big Jambox, which costs $250, sounds vastly better than the fir...

Let's face it: The audio ability of most smartphones and tablets is pretty bad. You can, of course, hook up a pair of headphones or earbuds, but what if you want to share the sound? Or simply don't want to isolate yourself by shutting out the rest of t...

The new Big Jambox amps up the concept with 2.2-inch drivers; dual 2.2-by-3.8-inch passive radiators instead of the Jambox's single 1.2-by-2.4-inch radiator; and 18-watt-per-channel digital amps replacing the Jambox's 4-watters. It's also much more massiv...
Although I stressed before that the Big Jambox isn't just a bigger version of the Jambox, in many ways it is. It has the same winning ergonomics, the same great functionality, and the same unmatched styling. For my taste and travel habits, I prefer the s...

The Big Jambox doesn't replace Jawbone's original Jambox , but instead it offers more oomph with the same attractive brick design for $100 more. In other words, the Big Jambox was created to achieve a single task, filling up large spaces with jamming imme...

Last year, headset vet Jawbone stepped into the wireless speaker market with the Jambox ($199.99, 3.5 stars), a portable Bluetooth speaker that doubles as a speakerphone accessory. Now, the company is taking the idea and making it bigger with the Big Jamb...

It was back in February when we first caught wind a beefier version of Jawbone's Jambox, thanks to some less-than-stealthy ninjas at the FCC. Today it's officially here. Dubbed Big Jambox, this $300 Bluetooth speakerphone and "smartspeaker" is unsurprisin...

Jawbone’s JAMBOX personal speaker put music and hands-free calls in your backpack, messenger bag, your briefcase and on your nightstand. Now, with the BIG JAMBOX by Jawbone, it’s time to take your music out into the backyard, poolside or park and do so...
At $299, the BIG JAMBOX isn’t cheap, but nor is it as expensive as some of the style-focused AirPlay speakers we’ve seen for Apple devices. It doesn’t compromise on sound, either, either in terms of volume or audio quality; Jawbone positions it as a p...

The Jambox is back. But now, little baby’s all grown up.The Big Jambox from Jawbone (yes, the hands-free headset people) builds upon the success of the company’s original Jambox portable speaker, keeping the attractive no-frills design, but wrapping it...
Big, clear sound. Tight package. Controls for skipping tracks, changing the volume and answering calls are right on top. Over 12 hours of play time on a rechargeable battery. Solid Bluetooth performance. Under three pounds. Eight rubber feet keep it from shimmying around...
Price makes you think too hard. Size matters: requires an external method of conveyance, and it won’t squeeze into your travel carryon. Bass is clear and not flabby, but it could pack more punch. Needs the wall wart to charge quickly. Spatial enhancement feature is meh.
