Jawbone, the company behind the first major portable Bluetooth speaker, is taking its Jambox down a notch—in size that is. The company on Wednesday introduced the Mini Jambox, a portable speaker that is about the same size as a can of Red Bull, and designed to amplify sound from your phone or the cloud wherever you are. The scaled-down speaker features "two neodymium drivers and a passive bass radiator" offering high-quality sound in a compact nine-ounce package which can "literally fit into your pocket," Jawbone said in a statement. Priced at $179.99, the Mini Jambox is available for pre-order today on Jawbone's website and will be hitting major retailers nationwide later this month. It comes in nine different color options, including: red, silver, graphite, blue, aqua, purple, yellow, orange, and green.

The Mini Jambox sounds great as did all the Jambox speaker systems. However, Jambox is no longer in business. Access to the update software, app, and other software is no longer available.

I have had a jawbone mini jam box for three years now and it still holds charge and sounds just as good! These things can last forever and keep the same quality. It has accompanied me on many beach trips!

Brought as present but did here it great build quality but lacking in power the person who received it was happy so all good

The Mini Jambox is small - about the same width as an iPhone, and about an inch longer, very convenient.

I love these Mini Jamboxes! I've bought almost a dozen now... It is a piece of art, so not impervious to scratches and damage to the beautiful aluminum case... so keep it indoors and if in a car or anywhere else, I'd recommend a case. Just those $11 cases on ebay will do...

I am very satisfied with this speaker as it provides a large volume of sound for such a small device.But I'm writing this review for the model number issue of this device. Staples site states that this device has the model number of "41276SPR", but the model ID engraved at the bottom of the device...

The Jawbone Mini Jambox makes quite a first impression.

Great design; Good battery life; Handy app

Hard sound; Lacks scale; Poorly organised; Dynamically flat; No NFC; Pricey

The mini jambox has outstanding sound. Its modern design is fun to look at and the color is luscious (I have the red). I especially like using the jambox with my cellphone. It picks up my voice very well and I can easily hear the caller.

Compact Design; Easy To Use; Great Sound Quality

Jawbone did a lot to establish the wireless-speaker category with its Jambox , capturing tons of market share in a short amount of time. Since then, though, the category has gotten massively competitive, with impressive offerings from the likes of Beats and Bose .
