| Bottom line | The iHome iDM8 is a good portable Bluetooth speaker for the money; we just like its step-up brother, the DM11, a little better. | The iHome iDM11 doesn't sound quite as good as the Jawbone Jambox, but it's a better value at less than $70. | The Creative D100 speaker plays music wirelessly from your Bluetooth-compatible music player with impressive low-end range from its dual 3-inch drivers, making it a worthwhile addition to your next outdoor get-together. And although it doesn't have a remote control or speakerphone functionality, the price is right for this portable speaker and it earns our recommendation. | The Logitech Mini Boombox Bluetooth speaker doesn't sound quite as good as the Jawbone Jambox--or look quite as slick--but it can play loud and has identical features for about half the price. | The Jambox is the most stylish portable speaker we've seen, with features and sound quality you won't find in comparable compact designs. |
