JAM Rewind Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, Portable, Dynamic Sound, Rechargeable Battery, Retro Design, Built-in Speakerphone, Works with iPhone, Android, Tablets, Cassette Design, HX-P540RD Red

I have a bit of an addiction to Bluetooth speakers right now. It started with the Jambox...and got worse when they discontinued making the original/medium Jambox. I've been looking for a replacement speaker that I'll be able to buy for friends as gifts (that won't be too lavish...because that makes people feel awkward when you spend TOO much on them...believe it or not).I first saw/heard this speaker at Wal-Mart and had my eye on it ever since. I didn't buy it immediately for two reasons: 1. It was priced a bit too high for what I felt the sound quality was worth. 2. They didn't have them in stock. I managed to find one used on Amazon for about $45 (about half the full-price cost). I don't feel like this speaker is worth the $100 full-price tag, but they're definitely worth the $45-$60 price that you can find them for on Amazon (as of the time I write this).- The battery life is decent. Not the best...but maybe 3-4 hours.- The bluetooth range is appropriate for the listening experience. You're not going to want to get too far away from this thing anyway - it's a "close-up" speaker.- The sound quality is very good. Not FANTASTIC, but very good. You'll have to do a side-by-side comparison with a better speaker in order to be disappointed by the sound quality...but just listening to it with fresh ears I don't feel there's anything to be desired. I don't expect fantastic bass from a tiny speaker like this, and as a result I'm pleasantly surprised by the amount of bass it puts out (for the size).- It's relatively portable. Easier to carry around without the funny cassette case.- It's has a cute/nostalgic design that anybody who remembers rocking Milli Vanilli on cassette will appreciate.Overall, I use this speaker as a backup to my Jambox...and sometimes I use it when I'm in a place where I want good sound quality, but don't want the sound to travel very far, or if I'm in a room that echoes (i.e. if I'm showering)

Best bluetooth speaker I have ever used, and I've tried a lot. So tiny yet the sound is GIGANTIC.It's also better than a lot of the speakers that plug into computers, etc.I had two tiny issues which really just demonstrate this speaker's great bass: 1) the bottom is slippery on some surfaces and heavy bass can make it slide forward til it falls. So just make sure it's propped in a safe position. 2) The back speakers vibrate so don't lie it down on it's back.Also, it should have a hole in it somewhere for hanging from things. (Like the Jam Thrill does, though the Thrill is twice as big...this much smaller Rewind has much better sound so I don't mind attaching my own hanging device.)(It does come with a cute little bag that can be hung from things but I haven't tried turning it on while in the bag.)Bottom line: I am in LOVE with this speaker. It is dy-no-mite in a very cute package. I will probably buy more.

So for how small this speaker is I was surprised by its sound quality and strength. I bought this for a gift but tried it out before I gave it to my nephew and I may end up buying one for myself. Had a nice touch of bass with the extra speakers on the back, and overall good speaker. I paid 15$ for the speaker an it delivered on every angle you would want for a affordable compact speaker. Also I loved the retro cassette look to it as well, only thing I did not like was there was no aux cable included but as much as I liked the speaker I can't take a star off for that.

Outstanding small speaker. I like everything about this speaker. The outside is a rubber type material. Top buttons have a firm click to them, with a blue blinking light to indicate it is playing. The voice prompts tell me when I am at maximum volume, or when paired. The case (like an old cassette clear plastic case) is nice for travel, and the little space in the bottom holds the short charging cable. Very good volume for its size, although I will say that it works best in a living room, car or other similar sized space. I had it in an outdoor cabin, and once in a large room that could seat 100 people, and it sounded way too quiet in both places, even at max volume. Sound is good on medium and high tones, weak on bass. Very faint, "static" sound on the occasional song. Size is about 40% larger than old cassettes were. Good for jacket pocket, but maybe not for pants pocket. Battery life is close to 8 hours. I like it so much, I want to buy the other colors too!

My first impression when seeing this was what a great gimmick, looks like a Cassette Tape and it even comes in a hard clear plastic packaging. However when I opened to setup with my iPhone the sound that comes out of this device is Amazing!! Powering on you hear the Bass and Treble of the speakers clear and crisp. The female voice letting you know that the power is on is fun and amusing. Syncing to Bluetooth was easier than sinking to my car. Even when you use it several times, as soon as you power on the speaker it will search for you phone and sync automatically. The sound playing any type of music is Amazing!! The deep base the clear voice makes this speaker in my book the closest thing to a Bose system and a quarter of the cost. I HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a Bluetooth speaker with great sound and easily portable.
