OontZ XL: The poor man's Jawbone Big Jambox

2013-08-16
I'm David Cardona executive ad for cnet.com and I'm here with another Bluetooth speaker this one is a little bit bigger it is the un's XL from Cambridge sound works Cambridge sound Works has been making some smaller speakers that are very good values and this large one is also a good value it's got a nice understated design as a soft to the touch finish and it has the requisite buttons on top it allows you to control playback it also has a built-in speakerphone as well as USB charging capabilities you can charge another device using the internal battery on the un's XL this does get about 10 hours of battery life you can do better if you don't play your music that loud but this is really kind of a poor man's big jambox and $100 it competes with some decent smaller speakers such as the JBL flip however this sound on the speaker is bigger it does offer more bass what I do want to emphasize is this doesn't sound great it sounds good it just doesn't measure up with a speaker that cost 250 or 300 dollars such as the jawbone big Jambox or the Bose Soundlink Wireless those speakers are better sounding speakers they offer more clarity and they're just better speakers however if you do want to get better sound than some of these small speakers the un's XL definitely has better sound I'm David Carr know and that's the ins XL from Cambridge sound works thanks for watching
