| Bottom line | The Jambox is the most stylish portable speaker we've seen, with features and sound quality you won't find in comparable compact designs. | The Jawbone Big Jambox doesn't quite measure up to the Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile and it carries a premium price tag, but it's an impressively designed product that offers strong performance and speakerphone capabilities. | The Jambox is the most stylish portable speaker we've seen, with features and sound quality you won't find in comparable compact designs. | While the SoundLink Bluetooth Mobile Speaker II may no longer be in a class by itself, it's still near the top of the portable Bluetooth speaker category. | The JBL Flip's decent performance and attractive design make it a worthy Bluetooth speaker contender at $100. |
