Is there a difference between a "vibration" Bluetooth portable speaker and just any Bluetooth portable speaker?

Vibration uses the furniture it's standing on as a speaker also. Especially metal file cabinets. Stand alone speakers don't uitilize the surface they sit on. You get a tremendous sound advantage using vibration speakers.

Vibration speakers use the surface you put the device into and make it part of the sound by vibrating it, I find that wood makes a nicer sound like study table, I put mine inside an office cabinet and you can really appreciate the base, hope this helps.

There is definitely a difference. The "vibration" Bluetooth will turn any thing you put it on into a speaker. I was amazed at what a powerful sound was created with such a small device. After I received mine, almost every one of my friends that saw it, had to have one, and got themselves one. Great little device, I really enjoy mine. Harold

If you like great sound in a simple device, this is it! In my experience similarly priced regular Bluetooth portable speakers sound "tinny". Not so with this vibration speaker. It's fun to be able to change the sound, by changing what you place it on or in. Experiment...you will be surprised.

I listened to this speaker at Best Buy today, and would say definitely not. The UE mini Boom was shockingly loud however, so you might want to give that one a try. I am not a speaker expert... I just listened to the speakers available at the store, and based on that, this is the best advice I can give.

No there is no speaker built in. It does not have "blue tooth".I wasn't aware when I bought it. There is a package with a portable included available at Amazon.

It's similar to a phone on vibrate. It's more audible if left on a hard surface.

Not much difference. The vibrations are given in factory specs put you use a battery. Being a scientist I would say that at the beginning of the battery life you will have more vibrations per min thus you are dealing with a variable all the time. It is very hard to test the vibrations per/min thus we take the factory specs.

I am listening to mine right now via BlackBerry tooth. I have had it for well over a year and use it most every day. My son gave me a Jam blue tooth portable speaker for Christmas, and, while nice and a little smaller, has a shorter battery charge and less audio volume and quality. However, I was under the impression that Monster had quit making the Clarity.

yes, it's portable since it has a battery option. this is oneawesome little speaker....surprising what rich sound canbe achieved from such a small unit. if you're lookingfor a terrific speaker at a very inexpensive price don'thesitate to grab this one....I listened to many speakersthat cost 2 to 3 times as much & they just didn't measure up to this little jewel.

I don't know. I returned the speaker because of less than desired or expected sound quality.

No, but there is a speaker now out called the Jawbone that is wireless via bluetooth and rechargeable. You might try that.

This is not a comparison of the two products but an add-on to the previous comment. I bought the JBL for my 33 year old musician son. He has bought the speaker to our house several times and says the bass is unbelievable for a small and very portable speaker. He LOVES it!

No, a properly functioning vibration will shake just like a cell phone on vibrate does. To me sounds like your vibrate motor does not have a weight installed.

I own this device, a SoundLink Mini, SoundTouch 20 & 30. I can honestly not detect any difference in sound quality between the Mini, Air or 20. So between the Mini and Air . . .I choose the Mini to take outdoors because 1. Replacement is cheaper should something happen to it and 2. it's completely BlueTooth so doesn't need to be within range of my WiFi signal to work.

I don't think so. It appears to be self contained and out of reach, much like an iPad battery. I personally wouldn't worry about it too much for a speaker at this price point.

Sounds like you are comparing the one with blutooth and the one without. The one without should cost less and require you to plug the supplied cable into your source device (phone, discman(!), laptop, etcI don't recall the spec on the iPhone 4 but if it has blutooth you could connect to the more expensive JBL speaker wirelessly.

No, Bluetooth feature is just for "incoming" sound to device. In other words to play sound from phones, tablets, etc etc...

No, this is portable for in house and garden with outlets. It truly is powerful and not a bluetooth brick that, soundwise, can't compare.

Check the packaging really carefully, you may have trashed it by accident (it's very small). Don't worry! Firstly, you can easily use any bluetooth device with these speakers. Or, if you really want a Creative bluetooth dongle, I could sell you mine
