Deal Alert: Jawbone's BIG Jambox Available On Amazon For $249.99 (That's $50.00 Off)

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Accessories, Deals

We first heard about the Jambox's larger sibling, the BIG Jambox, just over a year ago. At the time, it promised to be bigger (of course) and better than the original, offering a bigger battery, a wall power adapter, and "unbelievable sound". If reviews are to be believed, the Jambox managed to deliver good sound and power, while maintaining the unique design language of its smaller counterpart.

If you're in the market for a Bluetooth speaker, the BIG Jambox is a decent choice, and Amazon's sweetened the prospect by putting the device on sale for $249.99, down $50 from its usual $299.99 price.

Jawbone Jambox Getting A Remix With Over 100 Color Combinations

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News

It's no secret that we love the Jambox from Jawbone. We've given several away in past contests, and many of us here at AP readily cite Jawbone's portable speaker as our favorite among the category. One area where the Jambox has always been lacking, however, is color choices. Sure, you can get it in black, red, blue, and gray, but sometimes basic colors just aren't good enough.

Good news for those who agree with that sentiment - beginning next week, Jawbone will offer the Jambox in over 100 different, user-definable color combinations through its Jambox Remix site. For the same price as the existing Jambox, users will be able to completely customize the color scheme of the Bluetooth speaker, including grill and top/bottom cap color.

[Lightning Review] Geneva Model XS Portable Bluetooth Speaker: Really Cool, Just Don't Ever Buy It

Posted by David Ruddock in Other Reviews

The portable Bluetooth speaker market is rapidly heating up, and one of our favorite designs in recent memory in the super-portable range was the Geneva Model XS. It's sleek, minimalistic, and so retro. Unfortunately, one crippling design flaw (along with some strange control choices) means this $250, almost art-like speaker / clock-radio just doesn't work in the real world.

The flaw? The hinge on the outer case is made of like, paper-thin plastic. That's it. So, when I was first playing with the Model XS and figuring out how its interesting folding mechanics functioned, I dropped it - from a staggering height of about one foot.

Jawbone To Come Out With New, Larger JAMBOX Bluetooth Speaker Called... BIG JAMBOX

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in News

Jawbone's popular JAMBOX Bluetooth speaker is going to be getting a younger, but much larger sibling dubbed simply BIG JAMBOX soon. This information comes from a recent FCC filing (via WirelessGoodness) which doesn't seem to reveal much of anything past the new name. However, armed with this knowledge, I was able to dig up an earlier report by iLounge which caught wind of something they called JAMBOX BIG back in November. Researching further, I stumbled into upcoming product listings on Amazon for the Graphite Hex and Red Dot variants together with a number of interesting tidbits to go with them:
