Jawbone Launches The Mini Jambox

mini_jambox

Jawbone has launched a 9-ounce Mini Jambox line of Bluetooth wireless audio speakers. The speakers are small enough to be ‘always with you’ says the company.

The Mini Jambox comes with a free Jawbone application for iOS and Android, that lets users customize the speakers and curate playlists from smartphones or mobile devices. The speakers are equipped with a Type-1 compliant speakerphone for conference calls, and can be updated with LiveAudio – Jawbone’s three-dimensional listening experience.

What is inside the Mini Jambox?

Mini Jambox is crafted from a single piece of extruded aluminum that makes up both the framework and the face of the speaker. Inside the aluminum encasement, a rigid, airtight enclosure creates an acoustic cavity for producing sound.

Inside its nine-ounce package, an airtight enclosure features two neodymium drivers and a passive bass radiator. A built-in, rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivers up to 10 hours of continuous playback and 75 hours of standby time on a single charge.

Mini Jambox – Availability

Mini Jambox is priced at $179.99 and comes in nine designs (Red Dot, Silver Dot, Graphite Facet, Blue Diamond, Aqua Scales, Purple Snowflake, Yellow Dot, Orange Dot, and Green Dot).  

Jawbone first launched the Jambox series of speakers in 2010. Last year, the company launched the Big Jambox, which, as the name so subtly hints, was a bigger version of the Jambox speakers.
