 And you can't have access anymore by a bluetooth. I tried that with this small one, so let's listen to a little bit of music, so blurred lines I just hit the play button from the epilim iPad, Mini it's playing right now, music. This is not the maximum volume, but let's do something a little bit cooler, so this has a little bit more bass. Let'S go all the way up to the maximum

 Maybe then we have you use B port with which one you can charge your tablets or smartphones, and something like this for, for example, up to three times, and they have a headphone and Jack here. I'M also here an on and off switch and some status LEDs. So you can see if you need to charge it or if you aren't connecting mode right now, for example, with Apple iOS, it's still not possible to and connect my NFC, but actually NFC would be possible here just by holding it right there. And then you are connected on top

 We will have two speakers actually here so the stereo sound here we have a handle with which one you can carry it around and which is of course also quite nice, and it's still ranked, as you can see on the bottom again, a rubber feet and a Diary, connector, cable, three-and-a-half millimeter to three and half millimeter, which is quite good to just and plug in your devices directly, which has actually also priority. So if somebody's playing and over bluetooth music and you plug in your cable, then that will have priority. And you can't have access anymore by a bluetooth. I tried that with this small one, so let's listen to a little bit of music, so blurred lines I just hit the play button from the epilim iPad, Mini it's playing right now, music

Jabra Solemate Max Hands On

 Soundlink mini and the Sounlink 2 tie for first place. While the mini is about $70 cheaper, it doesn't come with a built in case, and the output volume does not get very high, so I give it equal value. 2. The Sounlink 3, is $30 dollars more than the Soundlink 2, but doesn't have a built in cover ($additional $40 value to get one now) and it doesn't improve much over the Soundlink 2 other than a longer battery life

  NFC ------ 1. Jabra has NFC, which means some cellphones can connect to it with a simple tap. That's great. 2

 No extra work needed. 2. All 3 Bose speakers act the same way. Connection and pairing is easy, but most of the time when you want to connect again (a day later, or after disabling bluetooth to save on cell battery for a bit) you need to go to the speaker and click on the bluetooth icon to again make it available to be connected to

 2. The Sounlink 3, is $30 dollars more than the Soundlink 2, but doesn't have a built in cover ($additional $40 value to get one now) and it doesn't improve much over the Soundlink 2 other than a longer battery life. 3. The Jabra is close to $400, and at that price point its hard to justify over the competition given that it doesn't have any advantage over them, except if you truly value rugged design and will be taking it to a lot of beach trips

Comparing to Bose Mini, Bose Soundlink 2, and Bose Soundlink 3

The Jabra Solemate Max is a powerful, rugged portable Bluetooth speaker that delivers a solid audio experience across most genres, though deep bass can be an issue.

The Solemate Max is NFC-compatible to make pairing with certain smartphones and tablets easier. The NFC zone&nbsp;is located on the right side panel, along with a 3.5mm aux input, a micro USB port for direct playback from your computer, a USB port for charging other devices, and a Bluetooth on/off switch. The bottom panel&nbsp;has a ridged rubber, sneaker sole-like surface like other Solemate speakers to prevent the Max from moving around on tabletops

99 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window)&nbsp;are both solid options, but their lower prices and more portable designs mean a trade-off with the Solemate Max's power. If you don't care about portability, and just want the best Bluetooth system in this price range, the Marshall Stanmore&nbsp;and the Soundcast Melody($874.99 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window) (which is technically portable, but even bulkier than the Solemate Max)&nbsp;are both great options. At $400, the Jabra Solemate Max is a solid performer and built to be taken on trips and withstand some minor abuse

Jabra Solemate Max Review

 The company says that you can get up to 14 hours of music playing time or up to 130 days of standby time, and as I mentioned, you can even use the speaker itself to charge up your cell phone while you're listening to tunes. Ok enough talking about the speaker, let's hear it play some music. What I've got here is my iPad air and I'm gon na finish up the review by playing a part of the track called hot heat by Topher Mohr and Alex Elina, okay ready here we go. The volume right now is that about 50 %

5 millimeter cable, which I'll show you in just a moment. Alright, let's get this out of the way right now. This is a big speaker. This is not one of those tinny sounding Bluetooth speakers that barely sound louder than the speakers on your laptop, the soul-mate max is a party machine that basically allows you to

 I was able to find this Earl from which I was able to download and successfully install the Jabra sound app before we listen to some music coming over the speaker. I also want to point out that you heard the speaker talked to us a few moments ago, telling us that the speaker was now in bluetooth, pairing mode. The speaker talks to you in other ways too, for example venery full. You can change the voice from a male voice or a female voice, or if you don't like your speaker, talking to you, you can turn off the voice instructions altogether and what's charged

Hey wait a minute. Listen to this, that cool sound that you just heard is the new Jabra soulmate max. You might not have heard of the company Jabra, which is a worldwide supplier of headsets and headphones, but the soulmate max is a new addition to their line of wireless speakers. They say this speaker is designed for indoor and outdoor sound enjoyment

Review: Jabra SOLEMATE MAX Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Speaker

 It delivers decent sound and battery life, has a strong feature set and excellent design. While it's meant to work as both an indoor and outdoor speaker, I personally favor it as an outdoor speaker. By that I mean its rugged, water-resistant design and meatier bass make it more appealing for outdoor use, where the volume and girth of your music can be more important to the listening experience as sound disperses in an open environment. As a result, if you are looking for a speaker that you plan to take outside a fair amount, the Solemate Max is certainly worth considering, especially if its price comes down

  At 5.8x13.8x5.8 inches (HWD), it's really quite a bit bigger than its little brother, and on the inside sports two woofers, two tweeters, and a rear bass radiator

Back in 2012, Jabra released the Solemate, a compact Bluetooth speaker with a distinct, footwear-inspired design and decent sound for its size.

18 pounds. It seems sturdily built and is shock, dust, and water resistant.  Obviously, due to its increased size, the Max plays much louder, offers much fuller bass, and just sounds bigger and richer overall than its smaller predecessor. My only gripe with it is that while it sounds good for a compact Bluetooth speaker, it isn't quite as clean sounding and detailed as it should be considering its $400 price

Jabra Solemate Max review: Jabra's slick Solemate Max stumbles on price

  * The Bluetooth connection works very well. I had no trouble connecting to my lap top, Bluetooth enabled phone or tablet.  * The sturdy, rechargeable battery. It’s a lithium ion battery and should give you about 14 hours of listening pleasure

 What a shame, since I’d love to use these permanently with my computer. If you do wish to do that, you have to be sure to turn them on and off every time.  * The sound seemed dull, with emphasis on the bass range. The sound is much better if you download and install the Jabra Sound App with Dolby sound enhancement so you can control the Solemate with your phone or tablet

  * The sound seemed dull, with emphasis on the bass range. The sound is much better if you download and install the Jabra Sound App with Dolby sound enhancement so you can control the Solemate with your phone or tablet.  * They are somewhat heavy to be lugging around. They would work best if you’re carrying them a short distance to your patio or someplace like that

Cool toy

 What was a bit surprising to me about the speaker is that it does not include any sort of a bag for carrying it. This is a portable speaker, it's a mobile speaker, more than a polar bull speaker, because it's really big and it's really heavy. But it is a speaker - that's designed to be taken with you. Hence the handle here, but there's no carrying bag

 You can get chorus devices for speakers for about this or less as well, but if you like the design, if you want something you can use at home and on the go, if you tend to use bluetooth a lot with your audio and if you love Jabra, Sound this is really a neat option. One other thing worth mentioning: you do get the Jabra app I'm going to cover the code over, so you can use Jabra zap with the speaker, which will give you enhanced audio as well. So that's something that you have to take into account when you're thinking about whether or not you want this speaker and whether or not you want to spend the money that the speaker costs. I happen to love the soulmate design and I happen to like Jabra audio

 So you cannot use this for a while and still know that when you pull it out and turn it on you're going to get a get good audio here on the front, you've got the grills with the jobber name right in front. You can actually see the speaker's through the grill. If you look closely enough and a nice style piece here through the grill, you can actually see the Jabra name as well here on the bottom. It'S actually falling off because it wasn't put in properly

 What is really a little bit different is that you have a nice angle here. So when you place the speaker on a flat surface, the speaker's are actually pointing up a little bit, which is really nice. It actually points to the speaker's the sound up away from the surface. It'S on and up toward you for a bigger sound here on the back

Jabra Solemate Max Bluetooth Speaker

 I never noticed this before I compared it to the Sony. I have to actually turn the volume up on the iPod or the Jabra for those type of songs. The Sony always keeps a consistent volume level. The Sony is not as ruggedly built as the Jabra, though, and has no carry handle, only a soft travel case

  Compared to theSony SRSBTX500 Portable NFC Bluetooth Wireless Premium Speaker System , which I also have, this Jabra is slightly shorter and heavier. The sound of the Jabra is also more a treble sound, while the Sony has more bass. (Once again, however, what your equalizer is on greatly affects the sound.) The one shortcoming of the Jabra is the volume gets lower when playing songs that are softer, and songs that are older ones remastered

 The Bluetooth even talks to you while connecting. I just turned it on, went to my phone and turned on the Bluetooth and chose the "device list" setting, and the phone quickly found the Jabra. I then used another phone to call my phone, and the ringing came in loud and clear over the Jabra speakers. If you use your phone as an alarm clock, the alarm clock sound will also come in loud and clear over the speakers

When I first saw the picture of this Jabra stereo with a handle, I thought it was going to be very lightweight. Thus, I was surprised when I first picked it up and realized it weighed over five pounds. But in my opinion, any electronic product that is heavy is well-made! It's also versatile when it comes to connecting devices. There's Bluetooth and it is extremely simple to connect with Bluetooth

Built To Go . . . .

 Option 4: Find a free USB slot on your PC and plug in the micro USB cable. This way you can set the Jabra Solemate Max as the default audio device under ‘Sound and Audio devices’ in your operating system. I have a set of Logitech speakers for my desktop, but adding the Jabra Soulmate Max ramped up the sound quality for watching Netflix movies and Torrent downloads.  All in all, it’s an attractive, ruggedly built speaker system with fantastic sound and so portable

 Option 2: Enable NFC on your mobile device. Locate and gently tap the NFC zone on themobile device against the NFC zone on the Jabra Solemate Max. Option 3: Use the cable located in the bottom of the sole to plug directly into a 3. 5mm audio jack

I received the Jabra Soulmate Max Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Speakers for an honest review. Here’s my report on it.  Out of the box it’s a sturdy, handsome unit with a durable grey metal mesh and black trim with a rubberized carry handle at one end for easy transport. On the opposite end is a charging LED, the On/Off/Pairing switch, a 3

Superb sound and so portable. Great for indoor or outdoor use

 But I have a Bose wireless speaker that's a couple of years old and I just expected better out of this, particularly because it has more speakers. It just sounded a bit muffled, not terribly and not enough to say, "Don't buy this," but the sound quality is not going to knock your socks off.  I did like the ease of connecting it and the little automated voice prompt to tell me I was connected. I like the look of it

 Is it worth $400? I'd like to say yes. If it sounded a little better, I'd be saying YES! I'd challenge the overall resistance it has to the elements, but assuming it's rugged enough to take outdoors frequently, if that's your gig, I do think it's worth $400. Beyond that, maybe, wait for a price drop.

RTINGS

The best Bluetooth speaker that we've tested is the Sonos Move. This well-built model has built-in Alexa and Google Assistant capabilities, and it does an incredible job responding to your voice even if you aren't very close to it. While it isn't as small and portable as the Sonos Roam, the Move has a built-in carrying handle, so you can easily move it from room to room or take it outdoors.

Overall, it has a balanced, neutral sound profile suitable for listening to many different types of audio content. There are bass and treble adjustments available in the Sonos S2 app to help you customize its sound. You can also use it to pair two Sonos speakers together to create a stereo pair or amplify your music across a large, crowded party. It lasts over 10 hours off a single charge, which is suitable for long listening sessions, and it has an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance, so it's certified for protection against direct contact with water for up to three minutes and dust for around two to eight hours.

Unfortunately, while it can get pretty loud, compression artifacts are present when you play it at max volume, which can be disappointing if you like to use your speaker at crowded parties. Also, it has to downmix stereo content to mono when using it on its own, which doesn't sound as immersive. It offers a versatile overall performance that can please lots of different listeners.

The best outdoor smart speaker we've tested is the Sonos Move. This smart speaker offers fantastic voice assistant support with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in. You can activate your assistant with your voice, and it can hear you from far away and in noisy environments. You can even mute the speaker's mic when you no longer want it to hear you. Also, there's a hollow part at the back of this battery-powered speaker that acts as a handle, so you can transport your favorite music with you wherever you go.

It's well-built with an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance that certifies it for protection against direct contact with water for up to three minutes and dust for around two to eight hours, meaning you can take it outside with you without needing to worry about it getting a bit wet. With its room correction feature turned on, it has a well-balanced sound profile suitable for listening to a wide variety of audio content. You can also tweak its sound to your liking using the bass and treble adjustments featured in its companion app.

Unfortunately, there are some compression artifacts present at max volume that degrade the quality of your audio as you bump up the volume. Also, although you can create a stereo pair by connecting it to another compatible speaker, it has to downmix stereo content to mono when using it on its own, which isn't as immersive. If you're looking for a smart speaker you can use outdoors on your patio or by the pool, this versatile speaker is still a solid choice.

The best versatile Bluetooth speaker for bass that we've tested is the Sonos Move. While it doesn't produce a bass as deep as the Denon Home 350, it's battery-powered and has a built-in handle to help carry it, making it more portable. This well-built smart speaker also offers outstanding voice assistant support with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in.

With its room correction feature enabled, its sound profile is very well-balanced, making it suitable for listening to a wide range of music genres. Its Sonos S2 companion app features bass and treble adjustments you can use to tweak its sound to your liking. Its battery can also last over 10 hours from a single charge, which is great for long listening sessions, though this can vary depending on usage.

Unfortunately, while it gets decently loud, there's a lot of compression at max volume, which affects the clarity of your audio when listening at louder volume settings. It downmixes stereo content to mono, and its room correction feature is also only available with iOS devices. However, it's still a great choice if you're looking for a versatile speaker that can produce some bass.

The Sonos Move is the best smart waterproof Bluetooth speaker we've tested. This well-built Bluetooth speaker is rated IP56 for dust and water resistance, meaning it's certified for protection against direct contact with water for up to three minutes and dust for around two to eight hours. It offers outstanding voice assistant support with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in and can understand you from far and in noisier settings. With its room correction feature enabled, it has a neutral sound profile suitable for listening to a wide variety of audio content. You can also customize its sound to your liking using the bass and treble sliders featured in its companion app. That said, it lacks a thumpy and rumbling low bass.

While it's on the larger side, this smart, battery-powered speaker comes with a built-in handle, so you can easily take it outdoors with you to your poolside. However, if you're looking for a smaller portable waterproof speaker you can easily throw in your backpack on the go, you might want to look at the Sonos Roam. The Roam doesn't get as loud as the Move and doesn't produce as deep a bass. Its battery also doesn't last as long.

Sonos is an American company that manufactures high-end audio products like smart speakers and soundbars. Many of their speakers have built-in support for Alexa and Google Assistant, which is helpful if you like issuing voice commands. They often have well-balanced sound profiles that are well-suited to playing music. The companion app, Sonos S2, has bass and treble sliders, which lets you adjust the speaker's sound profile to your liking. Many Sonos speakers are for home use, with wired-only designs. The Sonos One Gen 2 and Sonos One SL can even be used as satellite speakers in some Sonos soundbar setups, like the Sonos Arc.

The Sonos Move is the best Sonos speaker we've tested. While it isn't as small as the Sonos Roam, this battery-powered speaker is still incredibly portable and comes with a built-in carrying handle to help transport it. It's rated IP56 for dust and water resistance, meaning it withstands direct contact with water for up to three minutes and dust for around two to eight hours, so you don't have to worry about it getting a bit wet when bringing it outside with you. Alexa and Google Assistant are built into this speaker and can hear you from far away and in noisy rooms. With its room correction feature enabled, it has a very well-balanced sound profile suitable for listening to lots of different types of audio content. You can also tweak its sound to your liking using the bass and treble slider featured in its companion app. However, while it gets pretty loud, there are compression artifacts that degrade the quality of your audio as you bump up the volume. That said, this well-built smart speaker's versatility makes it one of the best Bluetooth speakers we've tested.

The best Bluetooth speaker with Alexa we&rsquo;ve tested is the Sonos Move. This portable Bluetooth speaker comes with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in, which you can use while connected to a Wi-Fi network. It has no trouble understanding your commands from far away and in noisier rooms, and you can mute its mic when you no longer want the speaker to listen to you. It&rsquo;s battery-powered and well-built, so you can easily move it from room to room or take it outside with you. Its battery life can also last over 10 hours from a single charge, making it great for long listening sessions, though this can vary depending on your usage habits and chosen volume levels.
