2012-07-10
what's up prizefight fans I'm Brian Tommy and this is a prize fight between two of the top bluetooth wireless speaker it surprised why I put out between the Bose Soundlink wireless speaker and the big Jambox by jawbone our judges for this fight are senior editor Donald give'em Hal Bell and myself Brian the thong song Tom that will take both judges scores and average them out to the nearest tenth each round the final prize my score will be an average of all rounds using the same system it's a four around Throwdown showdown first up is design Bose brings a very safe design to the table with silver accents on the edges that won't really Wow Donald thinks his toaster has more personality but the leather cover that flips into a stand is a nice touch with its slimmer body Jawbone's big jambox brings back its familiar design with a bigger form factor that still brings a modern sense of design and is one of the most unique looking speakers you'll see the big Jambox strikes first with the floor and the Bose Soundlink gets a two point five next round is sound in science now if we're talking speakers sound quality matters the Bose Soundlink creates a great sound for its size but it has a flatter sound and its highs just aren't as distinct bottom line we really expected more now the big jambox can get a lot louder but the sound starts to break up a little at full blast it has a fuller sound range with crisper ahyes that sound better side-by-side with the Bose it's live audio feature also creates a simulated 3d audio experience that enhances your music and it made my listing more enjoyable now neither of these will ever replace a home stereo system but Jawbone's big Jambox takes another round with a 3.5 and the bose sound lead gets a 2.5 so after two rounds the big Jambox leads by more than a full point next round is features the Bose Soundlink is really a simple straightforward device you can play your music over Bluetooth or with the auxilary cable provided and that's it it has the built-in Cover stand standard buttons for volume up and down and bluetooth pairing but I wasn't lying when I said it's simple now the jawbone big Jambox chills it when it comes to features there's playback over Bluetooth and an auxilary input plus we're fans of the physical track skipping and play and pause buttons on the speaker itself but the jam box can also act as a speakerphone when connected over bluetooth for phone calls hey what's up baby it's Brian Brian tom from Cena and it can be loaded with specific audio and dialing apps and there's unique integration with both Android and iOS devices this is a feature freak of nature and the big jambox gets a 4.5 and the Soundlink gets a 2 jawbone takes begley but there's still one more round left to go the final round that decides it all ends value both of these speakers retail for 299 dollars which is really pricey for speakers at this size and the sound quality you're getting the reality is that they're solid Wireless options at half the price but in this price fight the jawbone big Jambox manages to squeeze everything possible into its modern blocky body and ultimately gives you more bang for your buck with better sound quality and more features and functionality jawbone takes the final round with the 3 and the sound link gets a tune so let's average out all four rounds and in a prize fight that we thought would be much closer jawbone won every single round of Bo's and the big Jambox takes this battle 3.8 to 2.3 and is your prize fight Ritter I'm Brian Todd thanks for watching I'll catch you guys next time on another prize fight
