The Jambox

The Jambox replaces all of those half-baked solutions, and then some. There are no docks and no wires — though a stereo cord is included for those who wish to remain tethered — and the company claims its range is at least 33 feet. That, along with its compact size and rugged, high-grade rubber exterior, means it can travel with you not only to every room of the house but also to the Hamptons for the weekend or Stockholm for a business trip. (The company has included a soft-sided carrying case to make packing it a breeze.) Inside, you’ll find high-precision manufacturing more than a decade in the making: tightly machined rare earth magnets and a 30 percent glass-infused plastic that creates rigidity to increase the airtightness of the device, which in turn keeps it from losing quality on the bass and treble ends.
