Jabra Solemate Mini Bluetooth and NFC Wireless Speaker System - Red

I went to PC World and Curry's to try all the speakers and the Jabra was the easiest to connect to and the sound was nice and full. They didn't have the Jabra in stock, so went to buy it on Amazon...saving myself about £10 in the process which was nice. I bought this device largely to be able to play music from my Samsung S3 and Nexus 7 while cooking, and also to take on holiday and to the beach. The device is so easy to use, however, that my 6 year old son connects this to his HTC desire and Nabi 2 and uses it for music, playing games, etc.To use: Simply press down the button in the middle for about 4 seconds.. a great booming voice says "Solemate is ready to connect..." and then turn on your bluetooth device and the Jabra will be found. Press connect on your device, and then in a few seconds the Jabra voice will boom..."Solemate connected." At that point, any sound which woudl ordinarly come from your devices speaker will now come from the Jabra.For some, it might be slightly annoying to have the large booming voice when you start to connect...but I laugh nearly every time and love it.The only tricky device to attach to the Jabra with bluetooth was a laptop (which were Windows 7 and 8), where I needed to go into 'Sound Devices' properties, and disable the usual speaker and enable the Jabra one--and also ensure that bluetooth was turned on for the laptop which is in 'Bluetooth devices', but phones and tablets (running a variety of androids in my house) all worked instantly and did not require any tinkering.

What a great little device - nice design, very simple to set up and operate. My technophobe partner had it up and running in no time!The sound quality is impressive too for such a small speaker.You're not going to use it at your party, but it's perfect for streaming music from a phone or tablet at a reasonable volume and MUCH improved quality over both.Great package and good value.

Have been looking at something like this for a while as a travelling device. Considered FOXL but this has better sound, UE boombox but this is cheaper, and Bose Mini - best for sound and quality in my view, but double the money and triple the weight, so on those two counts it's off radar. Back to the Solemate:+ it's small and light enough for packing in a suitcase (just)+ truly funky design - hand it to the Scandies, they know a thing or two about design+ rubbery grip all round and the grippy base+ love the way the accessory cable winds into the base+ best of all: audio is excellent, warm and bassy enough though don't expect a miracle, sparkly highs+ at £60 or so a good deal compared to the market options+ very simple controls+ paired effortlessly with W7 laptop, Android smartphone (Note III) and Android tablet (Xperia Z)- Jabra do a cheap but quite good waterproof carry bag for other products, I'd have appreciated some such for this little guy and would've paid the extra. As it is, no enclosed carry bag- sound can distort for some audio feeds, even when you turn down the volume at feed source- a truly annoying announcement every time you switch it on to let you know it's on (why?) followed by an equally annoying announcement stating it's now successfully paired. Both at full volume for god's sake and no way to switch them off in the menu.Aside from that last point - with which you just have to live - this is a delightful bluetooth mini-speaker that packs a punch way above its weight (literally), and offers stonking value compared to the others on the market. Absolutely no regrets.

This is the perfect combination of small size and meaty audio. It turns a wimpy phone into a decent music player or internet radio.The well balanced sound will fill a room and the battery lasts well - certainly longer than I've ever used it for, which has been all day if I'm decorating.I generally charge it up overnight at fairly sporadic intervals but have yet to run out of charge during the day.The construction feels so sturdy that I can't imagine it ever getting broken.

Great little speaker for the money. I paid sub £30 and the sound is very nice and can fill the room quite nicely. Didnt find it tinny in the slightest and easy enough to connect to my phone and echo dot. Rubber sole keeps it from dancing around at high volume which is a nice touch. Not exactly Bose quality but excellent for the price. A lot of punch for its size as well which was surprising. I would highly recommend this wee speaker.

This speaker has good and bad qualities. It's small, portable and loud but there have been some connection issues and for some reason if it's left connected to my laptop with nothing playing for a while, the sound then plays jerkily when I play something and it needs to be disconnected and reconnected before it will work properly again. However this does not happen when it is connected to my phone and if it were not for this it would be a good speaker.

I was a little skeptical that this could be as good as people were saying it was - but using a jabra speaker during the day at work, I was inclined to give this a go when I saw it was on offer. So glad I did - it's small, but it feels really solid in the hand, and has an excellent sound for the price. It might not give the greatest bass in the world when you really crank the volume - but for pretty much everything else - it's brilliant.

Cracking build quality and sound. Would be good at RRP of £79.99 but superb at £36 (now only £34). I did a quick survey and listen to comparable units and nothing in this price bracket gets close. Very easy to connect and off you go. The loud voice commands on the unit can easily be silenced by holding the - volume button as you turn it on (others have complained about these).It includes a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable in its base plate so you can connect your older iPods etc without bluetooth. It is simple to charge with the supplied USB cable to a computer or wall USB charger.In summary a remarkable sound for such a small device.

Muy versátil para llevar y amenizar reuniones de amigos, o escuchar música en los viajes o en otras estancias sin llevar cascos

Buon prodotto, peccato per la potenza, poco più che scarsa, del suono

Ma femme a adoré ce cadeau et veux même que je lui en rachète un pour le travail. Son très satisfaisant, même si basses peu présentes. Je conseille, mais attention au volume de la phrase de démarrage!!!!!

Arrivato celermente nella sua confezione pratica ed essenziale. Ho testato il Solemate subito con musica di vario genere e l'impressione che ne ho avuta e' stata subito eccellente, sia in ambiente chiuso che aperto. Suono pulito, nesun problema con i bassi e soprattutto versatile. La sacca fornita in dotazione, con cui lo si puo' trasportare, e' di una praticita' estrema in quanto protegge dalle intemperie il Solemate senza impedirgli di suonare tranquillamente. La sua estetica poi e' molto accattivante (il giallo si fa notare particolarmente) e il materiale sembra veramente solido. Sono veramente soddisfatto del mio acquisto, anche confrontandolo con prodotti molto piu' cari di marchi ben piu' pubblicizzati.

Il prodotto è arrivato in anticipo di 1 gg!!!! Pacchetto amazon e all'interno confezione sigillata originale. Prodotto come da descrizione. Funziona molto bene e la batteria dura a lungo. L'ho portato in vacanza smxin me in Puglia usato tutti i giorni per far ballare mia figlia e non si è ancora scaricato!!!! Suono potente per le dimensioni dell'oggetto anche da usare come sottofondo musicale ad una cena fra amici. Non distorce anche al massimo volume.
