2012-10-26
what's going on folks this is clayton youngberg with android authority calm your number one source for all things android today we're going to be doing a head-to-head comparison between the jawbone jambox bluetooth speaker system in the brave and 625 s speaker system now as many of you may know these are both bluetooth speaker systems both of them are great quality they're both are the same price range and they have similar specs but they are marketed to different niches so we're going to go ahead and show you guys the detailed comparison between both of them give you a demo and then let you decide of course so anyways we'll just go ahead and take a look at the brave and really quick as you can see it is surrounded with this nice rubberized coating it's all along the edges right here we have our nice brave and branding right here and then we have a nice steel grill where you can see the speakers in each on the bottom we have just the same exact setup these are a little bit raised right here so you get a nice sort of solid feel when you stand the braven up in its upright position like this looking on the side as you can see here we have our call back button which is actually our speakerphone button this is also what will hold in order to sink our Bluetooth device this is our power switch we get a audio confirmation that the device has actually booted up we also have a micro USB in and we have a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack in as well as a volume rocker then on the other side we do have our USB out because this supports charging you can actually plug in a mini USB cable and charge your Android device then we have our headphone out and our battery level check now also what comes with the braven is a nice little accessory we have this flashlight can simply plug it in here and we have a nice light so anyways there's a lot of cool features with the braven of course the braven is marketed towards more of an outdoor niche of users this is going to be something you bring on bike rides and stuff it's really durable really rugged and it with stands a lot of damage and a lot of just up being tossed around and stuff like that and that's where it differs from the jawbone jambox so anyways this is the jawbone jambox and before we compare the two I will just show you the outside of the jawbone jambox as you can see here we do have a nice mesh grille and we do have some rubberized top and bottom coatings here that we can actually remove if we peel up as you can see it did give a little but it's not too loosely fastened it is fastened on there pretty tightly now anyways we have our power switch for the jam box here on the side much like the braven so you can see we simply move it up and we get audio confirmation on the jam box as well then we have our 3.5 millimeter headphone jack in and our micro USB in and you can see on this side there are no outputs or inputs on the jambox getting a nice side to side profile view here we can see that the braven is a little bit taller and in fact just a little bit wider and the weight on the braven is coming in at a 330 grams and the Jawbone's weight is 347 grams so the weights are not too different from each other they're both the same way although that will have to say that the jambox feels a little bit heavier than the braven anyways on top the jambox we do have our volume up volume down in our blue jersey ready connecting device come on button sort of interrupted me there but anyways we'll go ahead and demo both these out these are both bluetooth units and of course on your Android device you can simply connect via bluetooth but for the sake of the video and ease of use i'm going to go ahead and actually connect via our headphone jack also because i think it has a little bit better audio quality when you do something like that so first off we'll go ahead and plug into our brave in 625 s another important thing to mention the brave and 62 5s is coming in at 170 nine dollars with most retailers while the jam box is coming in at two hundred dollars so these are both pretty steep as far as price but i would have to say that the braven is a little bit more of a value and just by the looks and stuff i kind of like the brain a little bit better but let's go ahead and do some sound tests you guys aren't left in the dark knowing what these two awesome bluetooth speakers sound like you sounds really really great go ahead and turn it down just a little bit go ahead and manipulate our controls as musics playing as you can see there i was turning the music down using our volume rocker just like that the bass and treble is really nice has a nice clean mid as well but the base is just really heavy you can feel it vibrate in your hand and you can say the same with the jawbone jambox which will here in a minute but go ahead and listen to this for just a second sounds great anyways while the phone is still actually playing hopefully it will play will go ahead and plug into the jawbone jambox and also you can already notice the difference we have a little bit more of a filtered sound with the jawbone jambox I'd say we're getting a nicer sound with the braven but the job on Jay box is doing a very nice job the base is really heavy on this as well I can feel it in my hands so anyways guys some important points between the two of them the braven is going to be more marketed towards the outdoor enthusiasts a little bit better as far as durability we have this nice rubber coating protects from Falls it's also a little lighter than the jawbone jambox the jawbone jambox is more for an indoor use it's a little more expensive as well the braven is a little bit bigger but like i said it's more durable and in fact it is lighter than the jawbone jambox now I can find both of these online at the respective retailers through Amazon will provide links as well we're also going to be given away one of the brave ins and I'll have to say that the braven does have a little bit better sound quality than the jawbone jambox and to a test that will just do one find a little test here so as you can see the volume is just a little bit better on the braven so we are getting a little bit of feedback here towards the end but as far as all the stuff that we've actually broken down you guys the audio quality I would have to say goes to the braven weight category goes to the braven as well and so does value and I'd also say that the durability does too but if you like the look of the jawbone jambox and it's something that really tickles your fancy I'd say go for it it's a great system has great bass mids trebs all the whole nine yards as far as anything audio files will want out of either of these systems so anyways guys go ahead and check one out for yourselves pick one up if you need a nice Bluetooth speaker system and thanks for watching the review guys this is clean youngberg with android authority calm
