Jawbone Unveils Wireless BIG JAMBOX Bluetooth Speaker

Jawbone today introduced BIG JAMBOX, a new portable wireless speaker designed to deliver powerful, rich sound experiences in large indoor and outdoor spaces.

BIG JAMBOX wirelessly connects to any Bluetooth enabled device to stream high-­‐quality music, movies, games and phone calls.

At just 2.7 pounds, BIG JAMBOX pumps out rich, loud sound that is disproportionate to its diminutive size. Under the hood, an airtight enclosure features proprietary neodymium drivers and two opposing passive bass radiators. Advanced digital signal processing and dynamic equalization technology ensures all audio – from music to movies to voice – sounds great both indoors and out, at any volume. A built-­‐in, rechargeable lithium-­‐ion battery provides up to 15 hours of continuous playback and 500 hours of standby time on a single charge.


BIG JAMBOX is also a high-­‐quality, Type-­‐1 compliant speakerphone. It features a newly designed omnidirectional microphone for 360-­‐degree sound input, with improved echo-­‐cancellation and full duplex communication for crystal-­‐clear calls from the office or home.

With simultaneous multipoint Bluetooth connectivity, you can pair multiple Bluetooth devices to BIG JAMBOX, allowing friends to easily take turns as DJ. Listeners can control the music from their smartphone or tablet, or by using the buttons on BIG JAMBOX to change volume and pause, play or skip songs.

BIG JAMBOX features Jawbone's exclusive LiveAudio technology built-­‐in to the device, which allows listeners to immerse themselves in three-­‐dimensional sound. Jawbone is collaborating with artists and producers on music, games and other audio formats that leverage LiveAudio to bring even richer sound experiences to life.

The device also connects to Jawbone's industry-­‐first MyTALK software platform to download audio apps, software updates and customizable features for your speaker. Personalize the voice that announces battery life and caller ID, or customize the Talk button to activate a favorite feature. As new updates are released, BIG JAMBOX will become even smarter over time.
