Looking to buy a speaker to sync with my phone or tablet when watching movies, listening to music, etc. I see Amazon has a bunch but wanted to see if any of y'all had experience with one and could give me a review.

Get the JBL one that lights up! It's the coolest!

Soundlink or UE Boom.

Those also happen to be two of the more legitimate audio companies in the mix.

Jawbone big jambox

On sale now for 250.

Only complaint I have is that it sucks the battery down a lot faster using bluetooth as opposed to direct wire connection.

I started this thread a while back and settle on the JBL Charge, just got it in and it's great, especially for the price. $120

sucks the battery down

I've not had this experience. I had it out by the pool for probably 7 hours using bluetooth the whole time and still had 65% battery life left. I really enjoy the big jambox.

I've got a braven and love it. For whatver reason the one I got (forget the model) only the re color on amazon was on sale for $75, the others were $150. Winning.


ETA I landed on the braven after initially wanting the jawbone and reading a lot of online comparisons. Braven is a better speaker for the same price IMHO

I agree and the battery issue is not enough of a negative where it would deter me from suggesting its purchase.

But, for whatever reason, mine sucks battery quite a bit faster using bluetooth vs wired connection.

I will also add, if you are looking for volume, the big jambox is loud enough outside to make the neighbors complain.
