I was on the fence for both these products, the Soundlink and the Jambox but after MUCH decision making, I will be going with the Soundlink because music quality and loudness are more important to me than portability. Yes both are relatively small but the Jambox would be perfect for someone who is on the go a lot and needs something that easily fits in any backpack or purse.

The Bose is far louder than the Jambox, which isn't all that much louder than many phone speakers. I own a Jawbone, am considering the Bose.

I dont know about the jawbone.But i have the Pill and It works good for me the quality of the audio is very good although if you have an Iphone you have to use the aux cable that come with it because the bluetooth will cut the audio in and out.Now if you have an android the bluetooth works great.

Yes. The connection is the standard 'micro USB' plug (not to be confused with the 'mini USB' plug), and it fits in the socket on both the Jambox and the Jambox Mini. Since standard AC power is available essentially everywhere, this is a good adjunct to the smaller Jawbone speakers. Go for it.NOTE: Size-wise, this is the same plug used for charging many cellphones; power output level of this device may not be compatible; unless input-output levels are the same, there is the potential to fry anything that is not a Jambox.

I use the MPow in exactly this way. It is plugged into a switched outlet on the back of my Sony Receiver (using my home theater speaker system). Switching on the receiver powers the Mpow along with the amplifier. My Andoroid Smartphone always finds it and connects to it as expected. If I another bluetooth has priority (such as hands free phone earpiece), I can take a call and then automatically fall back to the Mpow. Despite a jumble of devices and wires behind my stereo equipment (and the close proximity of Wi-Fi and cordless phone transmitters), it streams beautiful music without any distortion or background noise. In my opinion, it is an exceptional cords free cable with support for flawless Apt-X. I use the MPow in exactly this way.

I returned this last Dec. I did not BT speakwrs that only worked with my smaetphone.However, I purchased a Sony BTX500 BT speaker from Costco. It is awesome and better than the Bose Soundlink.

ok...I am not sure what you are asking for. The speaker is bluetooth, so you use your cell phone to dial any number and the speaker rings and has a built in microphone for talking. It works really well. You also have a mute button and volume controls built in that work perfectly and wirelessly to your phone. I was impressed and absolutely love it.

I have a cordless phone and cell phone and have used both in the same location as the speakers. Nothing has happened to either phones reception or sound. Also have not had any issue with sound from the speakers. I mute the speakers when using either phone where the speakers are. When using the phones and not in the chair where speakers are, I do not mute the speakers and have no issues with phone or speaker use. Others use phones in the same room and no issues. Have not noted any issues at my Father-in-law's, who also has the speakers, when cordless and cell phones are used. So no issues and nothing happens as all devices continue to work normally.

It works pretty good but if your using like your cell phone or something. The cell phone or whatever device your connected by Bluetooth works better if it stays near the system. It works good but its best when the devices are in the same room or general area. Hope that helps some!

Totally.... Hoy need to press the bluetooth button 3 seconds and when the bluetooth light starts to oscillate, you can pair any bluetooth gadget with your soundlink

No, there is no BT or WiFi functionality. It is strictly a dedicated noise cancelling headset with audio play through from a hardwired source. It can be used as a headphone connected to a cellphone but there is no ability to make outgoing calls from the Bose headphone.

Sorry, but I don't know if Bose speakers would work but I have successfully connected to a variety of BT devices and see no reason why a name brand like Bose would not work also.

I have a android phone, and bose works like you are in the front line. That's how good bose is. I am glad it bought it because for music you think you are listening to a live concert. Thank you

It depends on your phone....most smartphones will route audio to the Bluetooth speaker when your Bluetooth is engaged.

I did not use Bluetooth. And I do not intend to. I have several BT devices and NONE work 100% reliably, so to save the headache of trying to pair them all the time I did not even bother to pair the JAWBONE. So i used the old reliable jack instead... I know it works 100% of the time and saves me headache and time... Sorry I wasn't able to help.

Depends on the bose model you buy. The first model only linked with wifi the sound link 2 only links with Bluetooth!

Not connected to the same source. Each speaker connects to a BT device independently of each other, in other words if you sync one speaker to your phone the other cannot be connected at the same time. I also tried to connect one speaker to my phone by using the plug and the other using BT, but it only allows one output (either plug or BT not both). I ended up giving my second speaker away.

Hey Joel - You can only connect one of these 'Mobile' speakers with a bluetooth connection, unless you connect two with the aux cable (connecting to one with Bluetooth). I LOVE my mobile speaker from bem, this thing rocks and is so LOUD for such a small speaker, amazing to hear the amount of sound this littler speaker puts out. Bem does have a product called 'speaker trio' which has 3 larger speakers with one bluetooth connection to the base. I hope this helps, I am very pleased with my purchase.
