Hi-Res Audio Hijinx: Why Only Some Albums Truly Rock

FOR A MUSIC LOVER and musician who spent his childhood cradled by Mozart, schooled by Mick Jagger and comforted by Aretha Franklin, I haven’t been treating my music—or my ears—very well lately. On my daily commute into San Francisco, I listen to music that’s been digitally squashed, then ...

HiddenRadio Wireless Speaker: Brilliant Design, Mediocre Sound [REVIEW]

#SuryaRay #Surya HiddenRadio Bluetooth Speaker Originally a Kickstarter project, the HiddenRadio ($190) is a Bluetooth speaker an ingenious and attractive design. However, it doesn't sound as good as other wireless speakers available for about the same price. Click here to view this gallery. It's taken a while, but wireless speakers are finally a big deal. Cool, affordable designs like the Jawbone Jambox and better technology (pairing codes are pretty much over) have led to an explosion of cord-cutting speakers in the market. Despite the never-ending onslaught of wireless speakers, nobody has come up with a design quite as clever as the HiddenRadio. Looking like the lid of a gigantic roll of ChapStick, the HiddenRadio is wireless speaker with a literal twist: To turn it on and reveal the speaker, you simply rotate the top. It's ingenious, really, and it keeps the number of buttons and switches on the outside of the device down to a very manageable zero. Make no mistake, th… Continue reading...

Friday Favourite: Jawbone Jambox

I get very annoyed at unhelpful customer service or products that don't work as advertised so I thought it would be nice to write about some positive consumer experiences. Hence "Friday Favourite" in which I will attempt to say positive things about a product I own or a service I use.

First up is the Jawbone Jambox, a bluetooth speaker from the people that make the highly regarded Jawbone bluetooth headset.

I picked this up when I was in San Francisco because I didn't have any speakers in my little studio apartment. I originally intended to get the "classic" B&W Zeppelin but after trying it in the Apple Store it was clear that it would have been overkill for my studio. Jawbone had just released the Jambox so they had a demo display in the store and while the audio quality didn't come close to the B&W Zeppelin it was definitely good enough to fill my apartment with sound, it's wireless, portable and at $199 it's a fraction of the cost of the Zeppelin (you can pick up the Jambox for around £130 in the UK).

The device is a small black (other colours available!) rectangle with a rubberised top and bottom, the middle part is a metal grille which wraps around the unit. There are stereo speakers on the front (not that you're going to enjoy much stereo separation here) and bass is ported quite effectively to the rear meaning that if you want a bit of extra bass you can place it facing away from a wall (or even better, a corner but this can make the sound a bit boomy).

Something I hadn't anticipated is that this device has almost exclusively lived in my bathroom where it pumps out tunes while I'm in the shower. With the volume settings on my iPhone set to full and the Jambox to half it's still loud enough to be heard comfortably over the sound of the extractor fan and shower.

Another good use is to drag it down to the kitchen to provide background music while cooking (or more likely in my case unpacking takeout). The device also features a microphone and serves as a very competent speakerphone / conference unit - obviously calling on Jawbone's experience in building bluetooth headsets.

The marketing material shows hipsters using it as the sound system for a party which might be a bit ambitious but for every task I've thrown at the Jambox it's performed wonderfully.

If I had one criticism it's that the audible battery low notification doesn't always give you much time before the battery dies but with an indicator on the phone's screen it's hardly the end of the world.

I highly recommend the Jawbone Jambox for anyone looking for portable speakers, even though it's at the top end of the price range for this kind of device.
