Awesome Little Bluetooth Speaker!

If you are looking for an inexpensive Bluetooth portable speaker... this thing rocks! It's the "Hdmx Jam", comes in a little jelly jar in several colors. Cost is 39.00 dollars at Bed Bath Beyond and can also be found on Amazon. You will be very surprised at the sound from this little jewel! Plays for about 4 hours on a charge, and charges via the included micro USB.
I wanted something that had a good sound but couldn't pay the hundreds of dollars for some of the wireless Bluetooth speakers out there. For the price, this can't be beat! Sounds as good as some of the top of line five times as expensive speakers. Hope you will give it a try, let me know what you think!

I tought embedded speakers were alerady good enough and provided a good sound..is this really better? is it worth it?

This is room filling sound, a lot more than the speakers in the note 10.1. Watching a movie, streaming music, even You Tube videos sound so much better. Just my opinion, I thi nk it's worth it, and wanted to pass along an inexpensive choice to others, but we all have preferences and you may not want a wireless speaker at all. A decent portable Bluetooth speaker usually runs in the 200.00 range and this one really surprised me!

I own a slightly more expensive BT speaker and use it for more "room filling" sound, as the OP put it, but IMO for everyday use the built-in speakers are great.

@, OP-Thanks may pick that up today!

I use the Belkin F8Z492TTP Bluetooth music receiver for my home stereo system, and that is what I call "room-filling sound". For 20 $ you get an adapter which can pair with up to 9 (!) gadgets. Sound is perfect,

Bose Soundlink mini Portable Bluetooth speaker

Hi all,
After a year of trying out different portable speakers - I tried the beats pill, Braven 625 (very good for ultimate portability....) and many others. I finally bought a Bose Soundlink Mini today. It is amazing! I cannot believe the sound from this little thing. While it does not have some of the extras others offer (Braven seems best in terms of will charge your phone, and can be used as speakerphone), it has the best sound I have heard from something so small.
This will not appeal to audiophiles or pimply teenagers who think they are audiophiles, but as a mini speaker that fills a big room with good clear sound it is great. Now my life is complete with my note 2, note 10.1 2014, anker wireless keyboard and this speaker. With this sort of technology now I can see myself going off grid with my camper van in the future, living with a solar cell and a kelly kettle for hot food
Just thought I would share this, there is not much I offer to the forum in terms of rooting or roms etc, I do intend to in the future as I am a google certified teacher and starting to use my note 10.1 as my main tool in the classroom to control my whiteboard......but at the moment if anyone else out there was like me and couldnt justify spending £150 on a tiny speaker then go for this one, its brilliant.

I have the same speakers, and they are great ...... for Bluetooth speakers. The sound is as good as I have heard from portable BT speakers. Can't beat them for the size.

I also have a Soundlink Mini.
Best bluetooth speaker in its class, hands down.

Sloty
Iv had a look at the speakers your talking about and they have an awesome sound but a price tag to match. I recently picked up a blue tooth / cord speaker from Aldi supermarket chain. It does all the things you've pointed out for $20 (sale price) and the sound is big and impressive with clear lows unlike what iv seen in other portable speakers. I snuck back and got a second.

I just picked up a JBL Flip 2 whilst in the states. Listened to the Bose and the JBL and you would be hard pushed to tell the difference. Also with the new Flip 2 they have done away with the need to have a plug in power adaptor which for me takes away the whole portable aspect of a portable speaker as you can now charge it through USB. Biggest bonus is it only cost me $95 which is half the price of the Bose.

Althought flip 2 is a good speaker, none can even dare to compare to the Bose! I wish i had it, i bought the UE Mini Boom, has the same features as the flip 2 almost the same price range, not the same sound quality, but good enough and pairs up to 8 bluetooth devices (2 simultaneous), 10 hour battery life (real), much smaller (fits on my beach toal pocket).

Well in all fairness thats opinion. I have spent many years using B + W speakers with other hi end hifi equipment so I am used to high quality audio and in my opinion the gulf is not that big. Certainly not double the price wise. What swung it for me is using them as a portable speaker. What good is a portable speaker that when it runs out you have to find a power socket to charge it. They realised this with the first JBL flip and with the Flip 2 replaced the need for a power adaptor with a simple usb charging port. So with my portable battery I can have music playing all day well away from a power source. But as I said its completely each individuals opinion which I fully respect.

Portable speaker ?

Im looking to buy a wireless portable (mid range portable and too tiny) speaker. Which one do you guys suggest in terms of sound quality (ofcourse), pricing and latest connectivity options (Wi-Fi, NFC)?
Found three selections: Bose Soundtouch 20, Sonos Play 5 and Sony SRSX7

I have personal experience with two models: X-mini II and JBL Micro wireless. I didn't own them, but they were sold as iphone accessories where I used to work. Both are worth the money, X-mini is louder and with a little bit distorted sound/bass when at full volume, while the JBL is somewhat more cultivated and clearer.
But overall the X-mini was sold 3:1 vs the JBL. You can also chain the x-minis

Thanks. I checked them out but they are smaller than what im looking for.
The size of Bose Soundtouch 20 is fine by me. Im not looking for a pocket portable, but more like something that can sit on your pc desk or bed table without occupying much space and looking modern.But it seems the three devices i mentioned in earlier post are the only ones with all latest connectivity options. The JBL authentics L8 looks great too, but pricey. When i went shopping i saw a lot of portable speakers which i couldn't recognize so i had to come home and check online what the heck is going on in the portable speaker world. It seems most portable speakers are bluetooth ones only, and does not have Wifi, NFC, etc.

So you are ideally looking for an optionally battery powered docking station with speakers

Which one is it ? http://www.creative.com/letsgowireless/products.aspx
I see they only support bluetooth and not wifi.

The Libratone live also good enough as the Bose Soundtouch 20.
And then i came across the sound bar types which comes with wifi, DLNA, etc, and i wonder how is the sound performance in comparison.

bluetooth Apt-x HD in-ear headphones 8+ hrs battery?

Do these earphones exist? Every headset I've seen with apt-x HD has only 2 or 3 hrs battery life.

i.Tech ProStereo H2 (10 hours).
Sony WI-H700 (8 hours).
Audio Technica ATH-DSR5BT (8 hours).
Yeah, they're not cheap.

What's this rubbish lol?

This doesnt have apt-x. Also what brand is this?

These claim 6-8 hours run time. Can't say I've ever tried to use mine for that long but I've been pretty happy with em. The same company makes pretty similar ones with a larger battery also, if you don't mind having a neck band they even have a set that claims to run for 16 hours. Charges with micro USB, but no way to change the battery when it kicks the bucket is the only downside.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZYX6Y1T/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use the LG tone pro whatever hbs-820 for work. when I'm not making long phone calls to co workers to pass the time I'm always streaming music on them. The site says they're Qualcomm aptx comparible and they sound clear and accurate. New, I'd get two days of use out of them, year later if everyday use, probably a day, I'll solder a new battery in when I'm bored.
If you do get anything over the neck one like those, I recommend it have retractable earbuds, the magnetic ones fall off easily and flap around, it's the worst.
My 2 cents also, if it's quality audio you want, if it has a battery on it, it's gonna be pricy. If they're earphones yeah, you'll get the low frequency but will it as bold as you want it to be? I've heard homemade headphones that sound better than over priced "audiophile" branded ones (some Asian hobbyist make headphones, idk how, i found it online). But lastly aptx/aptxhd is just a high quality signal, you can put trash speakers to any high end tube amp (or whatever the kids rave about these days) but they'll still sound like trash.

I use these, they are fantastic and cheap. I really don't know what I'm missing out on when I see those $120+ kind... these are aptX supporting...

confused? OnePlus bullet wireless 2 or BLAUPUNKT BYW01

Hi, everyone.
Saw the bullet wireless 2 and it sounds impressive on paper but recently I saw a true wireless earbuds Blaupunkt BTW01
I want you guys opinion about these two earbuds, by reviews on Amazon or some other sites, Btw01 take around 2 hrs to full charge and last for 6 hrs which is kind of disappointing compared to one plus, but it has better balance in high and low with punchier lows compared to OnePlus.
So, above are on papers and reviews. What do you guys think, which one should I go for.

If you're looking for a truly great sounding completely wireless earbud, check out the NuForce Move. They are up for preorder on Massdrop.
https://drop.com/buy/drop-nuforce-move-wireless-in-ear-monitors
They aren't the typical "OMG Moar BASS" sound that has sucked out middle frequency response and uneven and elevated treble. They do have plenty of bass, but don't sacrifice vocal or instrument clarity to get there, as they have a more neutral sound response.
I listen to blues, rock, metal, and electronic music, and I'd recommend these.
Otherwise, you have the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless and RHA TrueConnect which are also well reviewed. I haven't heard the RHA, but the Senns are pretty nice.

if the nuforce are preorders have you heard them before?

I haven't heard them, but ears I trust have done comparisons to IEMs I have heard or owned, so I do have a very good frame of reference. Specifically, the Massdrop Plus earphones and CA Andromeda. I owned the Plus which were very good (and which I lost/had stolen at the San Diego airport) and I can confirm were smooth operators. In this post he compared the Move to the Plus IEMs:
https://superbestaudiofriends.org/i...ce-move-wireless-iem-review.7867/#post-258593
I've preordered mine based on those recommendations because I've been a member at SBAF for a long time, am friends with quite a few of the senior members, and I trust their ears enough to make blind purchases like this.

The Anker Zolo Liberty sound good, charge fast, case is easy to carry. I love them. I got them on an Anker promo for $50, but I think they're easily worth more than that.

Yeah. I've loved them so far. Picked them up for 100 bucks. More than worth it.

Right now one of the best TWS earphones you can get are these pairs:
https://us.creative.com/p/headphones-headsets/creative-outlier-air
They specifically go well with Qualcomm SD845 & SD855 devices because they
are made with Qualcomm's QCC302x series chips which utilize Qualcomm TrueWireless Stereo Plus technology, Qualcomm® Broadcast Audio technology, Qualcomm TrueWireless™ Stereo technology, Qualcomm® aptX™ audio technology, Qualcomm® cVc™ audio technology and Low Latency technology.
They are power efficient and carry 7 to 9 hours of listening with a single charge and these pairs also
support ACC natively which is nice if you ever own an apple product down the road and above all, they
only cost $79 Bucks right now for a limited time, I think.

I'll get mine in a week, I'll let you know. I like the 10 min charge time

Bump: For users looking at buying the OnePlus Bullet 2
The OnePlus Wireless are a pair I own and they may not sound the best but they were really convenient to use. Just remove the magnetic housings from one another and boom you were immediately connected to your previous device. The series 2 are a triple driver situation which should make things sound better and more than likely only improving on the aesthetics/design.
True Wireless Headphones(TWS) have gotten really far and the convenience alone helps break the bridge between wireless and wired usage. The sound of nearly all true wireless headphones in the $99 range are not going to compete well with the bullet 2s but from my own personal use. The first time I heard music through a decent pair of TWS, I just had the largest smile come across my face. It is incredible listening to music with nearly nothing in or around your head/neck area. Even now with over a 100 pair of headphones I find myself looking for my Airpods or Liberty Airs. Just my 2cents

Those look pretty good too...Thanks I'll look into them and go from there. The Creative ones may still win because of the USB C port being everything seems to be moving that direction and it's nice to not have to deal with multiple connectors and cords.
