#3 Jawbone MINI Jambox

This is one tiny and portable Bluetooth speaker with single aluminum enclosure and cute design. I personally love the MINI jambox. It sounds better and louder than the original jambox. It comes in two colors. Purple snowflake and Graphite hex. Both are visually stunning. It also features a built-in speakerphone and USB port to charge the source. The LiveAudio sound processing mode widens soundstage delivering better loudness and clarity. You can toggle LiveAudio by holding both volume buttons on the speaker at the same time.
