Trying to decide whether to buy the Jam Classic or the Jam Plus. I only intend on using one speaker at this time. Thoughts?

I bought 1 Jam plus first and then purchased the 2nd. 2 speakers really enhances the sound quality and fills a big room . The Bluetooth features sync with my Galaxy 4 is a real convenience. I'd go with the plus. The stereo sound of 2 paired is really fantastic.

Get the plus. You can decide later on to purchase a second one to link with it. Totally worth it. I have a classic as well and the plus is newer model and sounds better. Its a little bigger and louder, and longer battery life.

I think that the plus model will be best. It has better sound quality and if you, later on, want to add more sound you can do that by just buying another one. I bought a jam plus speaker but I'm not that pleased with it. Guess you could say in a audiophile. It lacks base and distorts a lot. Might be a defective model. I found the JBL micro 1 or 2 to have better audio quality. More base i think. If I could reverse my buy i would have bought that. But still your choice. Goodluck

Can't say how the Classic sounds. I have 2 of the Jam Plus. I have them synced together. They sound good and the flexibility to move them around until you find the best sound is your best bet. I wouldn't do any other way.

Yes you can use the wire with the jam plus speakers as well. I've tried it and it works great just used the splitter cable or a single cable work as well.

I went to JBL's Website and compared the white and black On Tour speakers. They were exactly the same. I think the reason the white model is more expensive is because it matches the ipod in color. Maybe they think ipod users would be willing to pay more to match their system.

Agree with Patrick. I use my simplyvibe to play music or video from my iphone. I simply connect to the speaker via bluetooth, and then stream music all day. It doesn't matter if you play music from your phone, ipad, ipod, (itunes) or any other device. I also, through bluetooth connectivity, play music from Pandora and Slacker. All said, this is a fantastic speaker for desktop use at home or office. It has great sound from such a small device. The battery last for quite a long time as well. I hope this helps you. I am getting ready to purchase a second speaker for my girlfriend to use at her office. Agree with Patrick. I use my simplyvibe to play music or video from my iphone.

Hi David. 40wpc is fine for these little guys. I bought another pair for my brother and he's driving them with one of those little all in one systems. You would be very hard pressed to find a better speaker for the money. If you can swing it, go for the bamboo! :)

If you are still tracking this thread I will add my 2 cents. I read all reviews and use them to sway my purchase so it's time to give back. I own all 3, yes I get crazy at times. The thought was to try all 3 and then return 2 of them. I have decided to keep all 3 because they are all solid overall. My breakdowns on the 3 are as follows: #1 - Overall volume, room filling, bass etc... the award goes to Lansing im-237. It's the biggest footprint of all 3 as well so you'd expect it to top out. #2 - iTour - Was the last purchase of the 3. Overall it is less enveloping then the Altec, but it is also more compact which is a big plus when it comes to portability. And, it doesn't require batteries which add's to its green factor. It's not that far behind either as far as overall soundstage goes. #3 The X-Mini II - (I have a set of 2) coupled together come in 3rd. This is no slight though. If it was based on cool factor they would be #1. As far as build, they are as solid as the Altec, and are built better than the iTour sadly. Even with 2 though they don't sound as big as the other 2 but they are really cool looking for what it's worth. They are the most adjustable as well, they have an individual volume so you are not stuck having to unlock your ipod to adjust. They sound very good as well but come in 3rd based on performance solely. As many reviewers have stated, all of these have to be viewed through the lens that these are micro speakers and you need to keep expectations as such. Overall, I endorse all 3. If you are looking for the biggest sound, get the Lansing, it's also the biggest. If you want the biggest sound with the smallest footprint get the iTour. If you want the coolest looking, solidly built and still good sounding, get a couple of X-Mini II's. Hope this helps.

You can buy two and play them both but it won't be stereo sound. You need to get the Jam Plus model to have a left and right stereo. These little speakers are phenomenal. I have also purchased two additional sets for Christmas and birthday presents.

I looked at this specific ad and it says that it is only one speaker and that if you want a pair, you must put two of them in your cart. The seller also points out that it is an older version. I would ask them why they feel that is a good thing. Maybe they feel the quality of the older version is worth more or maybe they paid this much and hope to get their money back. I know if I had two speakers for sale, I would want to sell them as a set. It is always best to ask the seller.

The Klipsch Quintet III system is way better than the Energy Micros. I know they are not the same as the classic, but I was offered the Energy Micros since the classic was discontinued. After comparing the two systems, there was no question that I had to return the Energy Micros and pay the associated "restocking fee."

Hi Holly, This particular model can not be paired together. The model you are looking for to pair is the JAM PLUS. I'm pretty sure Amazon sells them. The only real difference is that the PLUS are not rugged or water proof. I hope this is helpful.

I am no expert. I am using a pair of 10+ years old Jamo bookshelf speakers. I am happy with this setup.

I did a complete professional review of this product. May I suggest that you take a look and get a full look at this speaker. I liked it so much that I bought additional ones for gifts. You can find the review here: http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/review/kinivos-wireless-bluetooth-speaker-is-compact-and-feature-full

I own both .. the Jambox is clearly the better of the two, deeper bass and better quality on the treble, but the Crasher is decent and at least when I bought it, cost about half of what the Jambox costs. CHeck out the Oontz, too It got great reviews and has a very good price.

I, too, had to choose between the RC Micro and the Classic. I worried the the RC Micro's were too small to provide a full sound. I ended up choosing the RC MIcro's. Here's why: 1. I scoured the different audio forums to get the opinion of people who knew more than me. In the AVS forum (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1153061), I found a posting by a member who posted frequently and who seemed to be highly respected by other forum members. This is what he wrote, "RC-Micro are smaller, with higher build quality and better drivers (than the Classic). They will have a more "refined" sound. The sub is a little better also. Whether it is "worth it" is strictly up to you and how critical you are in your bedroom listening. If you can afford the extra and are seeking the maximum sound quality from the smallest possible package, the RC-Micro will be great. If you aren't super critical and will only be doing casual, moderate volume listening, the Take Classic will probably be fine." 2. I called the tech help at Energy Speakers (they're very helpful, by the way). I told them I could buy the Classic or the RC Micro for the same price. Their tech guy said absolutely take the RC Micro's. 3. They sound better, they look better. I'm really happy with the RC Micro's. Hope that helps!

I recently bought the mini and really like it. I have no experience with the larger Jambox. As it it's smaller than the Jambox, I think the biggest difference will be the capability of generating sound in the bass range, because you need the larger physical dimensions to generate strong low frequency sound. Despite its size, I think it has great bass for music which is where I think it matters most. The features I really like are the compact size - take it anywhere, and the talking battery level.

I would say get a JBL eon powered speaker. My Behringer puts out muddy sound, and the same music or live instruments sound a lot better with the JBL that my friends have.
