| Bottom line | Info unavailable | The JBL Charge is a nice compromise for those who want a better-sounding portable wireless speaker but don't want to make the jump -- both in terms of size and price -- to something like the Jawbone Big Jambox or Bose SoundLink. | The JBL Flip's decent performance and attractive design make it a worthy Bluetooth speaker contender at $100. | 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 Jambox is the most stylish portable speaker we've seen, with features and sound quality you won't find in comparable compact designs. |
