Wireless Speakers

Wireless Speakers

Sound Quality: We listened to R.E.M., Jurassic 5, the Beatles, and Thelonious Monk to test a range of instruments and production styles.

Full volume sounded fine at 2 feet away. From across the room, quality was the worst tested. Bass had a hiccup tone. Jazz was like a telephone call on hold.

Portability: Is it easy to take this show on the road?

Weighing 12 ounces and measuring 1.5 x 2 x 6 inches, the Jambox is the most portable item. Its rechargeable battery is rated for 10 hours' sustained use.

Ease of Connection: These speakers sync with iPhones and other portable devices. But is it easy? As for range, a phone could control each speaker well past its audible listening distance.

Aces the setup—a voice from the speaker tells you it's connected.

Collision Test: To simulate a tailgating/picnic disaster, we pelted each speaker with a leather football to knock it off a 30-inch-tall table.
