JAM Heavy Metal

Manufactured by an American company, the Jam Heavy Metal is a handy and useful Bluetooth speaker for the road. It is equipped with 2 integrated stereo boxes and has a fairly regular range of up to 10 m with which to connect to. In the case of your smartphone, it also supports functions such as hands-free, made possible by an integrated microphone. This market is obviously very crowded, and the sheer range of choice really makes it more confusing in a way, as you don't want to commit a lot of money on the wrong device. Oddly this gdget really closely resembles the more premium Bose SoundLink Mini II.

Pump Up the Jam Heavy Metal

So while it looks more smooth and understated than the likes of the JBL Charge 3 or the Beats Pill+, it's still very portable, with with outer dimensions of 20.1 cm wide, 6.2 cm high and 6 cm deep. Like a lot of its rivals it is best used while chilling outside, during sport or while having a picnic. Obviously, the integrated battery is a big help, giving you an operating length of up to 8 hours. Charging takes place with the enclosed Micro-USB cable to plug into your desktop PC or laptop, and should take about 3 hours.

Connections

Like most speakers, the Bluetooth technology used allows easy and fast connection to all compatible devices, whether it's your phone, laptop, or tablet. As well as that, devices can be connected simply via AUX-In, giving you an almost unlimited music collection available at any time. Thanks to its robust aluminum body, the Jam Heavy Metal is protected against possible damage such as dropping, although perhaps not as robust as the likes of the JBL Xtreme.

Summary

• A built-in microphone raises the model above a lot of competitors, so that it can function as an extension of your phone, allowing you to conference call. Phonecalls or recordings are so easy to do, while the the Jam Heavy Metal promises very clear transmission quality. The loudspeaker is a space-saving, cordless way to reproduce music even in confined spaces without the need for a bulky or extenseive surround sound system. Whether for working, showering or relaxing, the system can be used anytime, anywhere.
