What is the difference between this discontinued model and the Jambox Mini? Does one or the other have better sound (i.e. frequence response)

Not to worry about frequency response, for its size it sounds great by my desk, my bed and my garage

Better sound in the discontinued model, and it is bluetooth. Not sure why it was discomtinued.

I own both as well, the mini sounds GREAT for it's price, almost nothing to envy towards the SL III, however, the latter is more siutable for bigger spaces, so, if you are new to the bluetooth-speaker world, and on a budget you might as well start with the Mini. If you got the extra 100 bucks, go with the SL III. It's bigger, sounds louder and doesn't have that extra bass that not everybody might like. SL III gives you the purest sound.

This one is featured with 40 Watts RMS ... New model says 20 Watts RMS.They really both sound absolutely great. The ONLY meaningful difference to me is that, the newer model has integrated Bluetooth, the older model does not.You have to decide how badly you want that Bluetooth function and ask yourself if it's worth the $150 extra (give and take) you're going to spend. I've got the old model in July of this year and it really achieve what I need. I listen to music from my tablet, my Ipod and connect it to my laptop to watch movie. I simply connect my audio cable every time. Long story short, they both sound formidable. One has Bluetooth. One doesn't. This one is featured with 40 Watts RMS ...

I have bought both the Jawbone Jambox and the Bose Soundlink for my daughter's birthday tomorrow. She will be 33, so I want a gift befitting of her age and social scene. I like the Jawbone because it is very small and easy to put in her purse but I like the Bose because of the reputation of Bose products. The Jawbone was about $80 less then the Bose. I have been reading reviews and there seems to be similar problems with the blue tooth aspect of both products. But I get the feeling the sound quality is close even with the Bose being much bigger. I see in your comment that the Jawbone can also act like an external speaker and mic which is good for as you say for conference calls etc. I don't see that anyone has responded about the Bose. I think based on the reviews it might be pretty even between both products and in that case I want the smaller unit with the big sounds. I wish I could play them both side by side, but if I open the packaging it will negate taking one of them back. Also Bose never gives you any specification to compare with other products on sound quality because they always say it is in the design not just the specs but it is hard to compare without specs.

Depends on what you want to do. Hotone Wally gives you more control with the tempo control. The JamMan does one thing and does it very well. Simple operation with no electronic noise or artifacts. I would try both at your local music store and decide which is better for you. After all, all these pedals offer good value these days. The real question is what is better for you?

It is much smaller than the big jambox, slightly larger than the small jambox. I own the Pill and previously owned the small jambox. I think the sound is superior to the small jambox, but I can't comment on the larger jambox. I would imagine the larger speakers of the larger jambox would produce better audio than the Pill. Just depends on your preference - audio or size.

There are three different sizes with the mini jambox being the smallest. I would assume that the power ratings would be different as well.

I'm not sure but I bought my first one for like forty something bucks well had it for three months and I work construction and people thought I had a boom box. Because they're loud and the sound qualities amazing!! So when it broke I though I well I'll buy one of these cheaper ones for twenty bucks of so at Walgreens and it was garbage no where as near as good so I returned so then bought some other kind bit cheaper at best buy and still didn't match the sound quality as the Jam. So I returned it then checked here on amazon and saw this the Jam extreme and love it too it's got hook on clasp to clip to my tool belt or something plus has heaven duty rubber case so when drop it's tough. So hope this helps. It's a awesome product this is my third one and I stand by it hundred percent.

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.

I have read the same thing, but both J&R; Music and Amazon continue to sell this item -- is it an upgrade ... a NEW model ... or a close-out of the old potentially "defective" unit?

I personally when other reviews myself, so that's what heard. Everyone seem to think it was better then the Bose mini as well. I couldn't respond to that because the Bose mini I got did not work. Seems like every thing I buy from does not work properly and I have to it back. I hope this helps you.

The only difference I can find is that the 'Classic' is a Mono Only speaker and can only work by itself. The 'Jam Plus' on the other hand can work on Mono or can be paired with a second 'Jam Plus' speaker and the pair can then be linked to your music source providing true stereo sound. I bought my wife one for Xmas and liked it so much, I bought myself one for the office. When I'm outside on the barbecue, I pair them and link the pair to my smart phone and launch my favorite playlist which I hear in clear stereo sound. I hope that answers your question.

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.

The Mini Jambox is what it sounds like a classic Jambox, made smaller. The mini comes clad in a rigid anodized-aluminum case, with strips of rubber at the sides that roll under the bottom edges to act as feet.

I would say def not loud enough for a party. Unless it's like 3 people in a smaller room. The sound is clear though. Not a ton of bass. Can't compare it to the jam box though. Never heard one. Hope this helped.

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.

No, it is smaller. This product is similar in size to the Jawbone JAMBOX Wireless Bluetooth Speaker. Note the lack of the word BIG
