Jam Classic Design
These little speakers in a way look like a Jam jar, and they come in attractive jam flavor colors such as blueberry, apple, apricot, blackberry, strawberry, and grape. There are no specific details from the manufacturer about what is inside the jam jar. It has fun packaging and is seemingly geared towards younger listeners who can easily carry this around wherever they choose to listen.
Sound Quality
Speakers in this class will no doubt disappoint those who are looking for quality sound. Kids and non audiophile types are likely to be pleased. This speaker has decent sound, not much bass, but the sound is a bit surprising given the smallness of the speaker and the fact that is in mono mode. These certainly are loud enough but may distort your music at high volume levels, especially with bass heavy tracks.
