Jawbone has a reputation for good Bluetooth audio products, and the Jambox Mini follows in that tradition. Incidentally, the 'personality' used by the Jambox is useful here as well, since it confirms that you've muted and unmuted the sound, and also reports the phone number that is calling. Tracy Mayor, who helped test the device, reported a bit of tinniness and described an occasional glitch as though the sound was 'about to break up without actually breaking up.'

The Jambox works reasonably well as a speakerphone: The audio quality is adequate to allow you to understand the other party with reasonable clarity. Or you can just leave it off and enjoy the audio as is. If you want maximum audio quality from each of your tracks, you may find yourself reaching for the LiveAudio button on your mobile device on a per-song basis. For example, the a capella version of 'My Lagan Love' gained greater brightness, as did the vocals on 'Spinning Wheel' - but in all of our other music samples, having the LiveAudio active seemed to boost the treble and make the audio tinnier than otherwise. The technology may be a real help when you are playing music files that use the technology, but for most other tracks, it's hit and miss. That being said, we found the LiveAudio feature more of a hindrance than an advantage. There was none of the slight muddiness that we found with some of the other speakers. The sound was clean, with good range from the basses to the highs, and you could distinguish the instruments in the orchestral numbers and the separate voices in the chorals. The Jambox is a fine speaker with superior sound it came in slightly better than the UE Boom and easily surpassed the other speakers in this roundup, with the exception of the Soundbook. The app also offers an agenda (which it picks up from your Google Calendar) and its own playlists I didn't find these particularly useful, but some users might.ДЄnd you can use it to enable or disable the feature that Jawbone calls 'LiveAudio,' which optimizes sound to create a 3D effect (at least, with music that has been recorded using the technology, although Jawbone says that the feature also improves traditional stereo recordings). The app also lets you switch your speaker's personality without having to connect it to a laptop (or, if it's irritating, you can disable the voice altogether). The app is actually rather handy it offers reminders for which combinations of the buttons do what (two presses of the play/pause button will redial the phone, for example, and you can program the press-and-hold to either do a voice search or dial a specific contact).

Jawbone also offers mobile apps for iOS and Android devices. And, as with Jawbone's headsets, you can upload different personalities - a mobster, a 'bombshell,' an arcade game - to announce when the speaker is on or off, when it's paired, and so on. For instance, you can pair two speakers so that you have them playing as either left/right speakers or as what Jawbone calls 'Unison' speakers (both playing the track). The Mini Jambox comes with a lot of interesting features. The left side of the device offers the power button, a pairing button, the microphone (the Mini Jambox can also be used as a speakerphone), a micro-USB port to power the unit and a 3.5mm stereo input. On top is the play/pause button, along with plus/minus buttons for volume decrease/increase. Other styles include Purple Snowflake and Aqua Scales, for example. It comes in nine different colors and several different speaker patterns for example, on the review model (which was described as Silver Dot), three rows of circular indentations decorate the front (where the actual speaker is) and the back of the device. The Mini Jambox is a small rectangular block that resembles nothing so much as an undersized brick.

The company was one of the first to come out with a reasonably sized but high-quality portable Bluetooth speaker called the Jambox its current model, the Mini Jambox, is well within that tradition. While Jawbone is increasingly identified with its Up health-monitoring wristband, it was originally known mainly for its audio products.
