what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy and today we're taking a look at the jam box from jaw bone this is the original jam box and the reason I mentioning that is because they recently released a brand new version which is larger than this one entitled the big Jambox how creative of them anyways this device here will allow for you to wirelessly pump out your tunes over Bluetooth from any device really that supports it so whether that be an iPad a tablet a smartphone a laptop or a portable audio device now if your device does not support bluetooth for wireless streaming you can still use this jam box by using the included 3.5 millimeter cable so that will hook up to super old iPods etc and so if you're still rocking the original iPod you're good to go let me know down in the comments if you're still using a super old iPod actually just let me know what you guys use for music on-the-go right now I'm interested to find out so anyways let's get back to the unboxing the very first thing I want to show you guys here is this little carrying pouch / sleeve it's made out of like a felt sort of material and it's pretty flimsy and pretty finicky so I probably won't end up using it myself sliding the jam box in and out is a little bit of a headache so I'm gonna put that to the side and probably leave it there next you've got the micro USB cable obviously very useful in charging the device and they've actually included an extra one so you've got two one that is very short and one that's a little longer so you can pick whichever one is suitable depending on distance you are from your power source next you've got the power brick with the fold up style prongs to make traveling easier and then you've got the 3.5 millimeter cable as I was talking about earlier you're gonna use this with older style audio sources or if you just don't want to use bluetooth for whatever reason that'll work out of any regular headphone jack now jawbone claims that this device will give you 10 hours of music playback when you're not tethered to the wall so the built-in battery will hold a pretty significant charge and it will also allow you to be up to 33 feet away from your audio source when using it so it's perfect of course for things like parties for traveling if you want to take it to the beach or on a picnic you guys go on picnics right anyways about the device I think it's really pretty to look at I think it's an awesome design you have this diamond-shaped pattern around the entire exterior of the device along with the perforated metal there aren't too many buttons on here which also helps it look streamlined and nice looking you've got one button for answering and ending phone calls a minus and plus button of course those are to adjust the level of volume you can also adjust volume from your actual source as well on this side here is where everything else is you have your port for your 3.5 millimeter cable micro USB to charge it and your power switch is also there which also acts as an LED indicator to tell you about the status of your jam box now here's a quick size comparison against the Galaxy Nexus and as you'll notice while it's a bit chunkier from a high perspective it's not much taller meaning you could definitely pocket the jam box if you had to and hooking it up to your device to play Bluetooth music through it is dead simple just go into your preferences the jam box is like automatically discoverable in fact there's even audio feedback when you first boot it up there's a woman's voice stating that the jam box is ready to be paired so pretty convenient really easy to set up at least in my experience having done it with a couple of devices I hooked it up to both my Galaxy Nexus a MacBook Pro a couple of other devices I can't even remember but didn't have any problems with that at all one thing to mention if you do hook it up with your computer make sure to select stereo output because mono sounds terrible something to remember now one more thing to talk about is these LED indicators they'll tell you what the device is doing if it's flashing white then it's trying to connect flashing red the battery is low and white red means that you're charging the battery so anyways one little complaint is if you play bass heavy music in my case I say dubstep or hip-hop or something like that the device does tend to jump around the table a little bit as you're seeing right here now this is not a huge issue because all you have to do is flip the jam box upright and it'll it won't move around at all anymore now some people might not like that solution but it's really on a spectrum of of usage scenarios where you'd have super bass coming through this thing and you know it might it might at that point jump around but what do you expect I mean for such a small device to produce that much bass there's got to be some vibration associated anyway guys if you enjoyed this video please do like and favorite it as it
