job won't put tiny Bluetooth wireless speakers on the map with the jam box but sound matters is the company that provided key audio components for the jam box while quietly selling its own well-received speaker the Fox l like the mini jambox which also apparently uses some of sound matters technology the new foxhole - 7 is a very slim speaker that's only 3/4 of an inch deep it's thinner than the mini jambox but longer and can be propped up vertically using the included convertible case stand or lay down flat so the speaker fires upward like the jam box it doubles as a speakerphone and works well in that capacity overall it's a really nice little speaker that comes in a few different colors and obviously travels very well and I like the fact that it comes with a case something that jawbone didn't include with the jam box mini as far as connectivity goes there's an audio input for non bluetooth devices and a port for connecting Salamanders optional fox ello palm-sized powered subwoofer you can charge the device via micro USB or an AC adapter that offers faster recharging battery life is rated at 12 hours for wireless streaming which is better than average for this type of speaker for its size the dash 7 sounds quite good and plays as loud as the larger foxhole v2 however like the mini jambox it does have its limitations you can only get so much bass out of a speaker this size and it just doesn't sound all that great with bass heavy material and complicated rock tracks especially when you crank the volume it will distort with certain tracks also it's hard to keep propped up on the stand when you raise the volume because the speaker does vibrate and will slip away from the magnetized case it's strongest with acoustical tracks where it comes across most clearly and also does well as a mini sound bar for movie watching on a tablet or laptop the only issue I had with it is the price as it stands it'll cost you around $220 while the mini jambox can be had for around 50 to 60 dollars less despite the mini sleek look I think the dash 7 does have some design advantages I like its rounded corners and it's a little lighter than the mini while feeling almost as sturdy in the end both the mini jambox and the Salamanders fox will - 7 are very much about the convenience of having a tiny relatively decent performing speaker that takes up the little room in a bag there are better sounding $200 wireless speakers such as the ue boom and bose soundlink mini that are about twice the size and weight and they're the better choice if you want better sound however the dash 7 is right there at the top of the micros wireless speaker class I just think it should cost a little less I'm David Carr Noi thanks for watching
