I just bought the Big Jambox to use outside the coach (inside system already has a bluetooth adapter so I can strream from computer, iPhone or iPad). Doubles as a bluetooth speakerphone for the coach while under way. Plus sound is so good I find myself using this rather than the big built in stereo with large speakers and sub-woofer while traveling. Controls on the Jambox (Not available on the Bose) let you control the phone and the built in microphone makes for clear phone calls. The review by CNET says a slight edge goes to Bose on sound but the Jambox speakerphone feature pushed me in that direction. See below.


CNET Review of the Jambox

Street price $249.00

Hi Rich,
Yeah I agree these new devices are great! Plenty of options at all prices and features to choose from! I also find myself using it more than either the home or bus stereo! Go figure! Target here has the Jambox and about 12 other setups including the Bose so you can play! I read the CNET article also and went to Target thinking Jambox would be it for me as well but after playing for an hour listening to all kinds of music, I went with the Bose. I felt any of the 12 systems at all prices would be fine but I agree with the CNET review, better options on the jambox and price, but Bose was the class of field in sound and that's the use case I chose. I'd recommend to anyone thinking about any of these to go somewhere so you can " listen/ play" with all of them, then choose..... Definitely no right or wrong answer here.......just a matter of personal taste and price point! Plus as you said, in addition to music if you have a system like vmspec, GPS, phone,etc, you can bluetooth the computer or phone to the device and it can scream alarms, directions at ya, or use the phone in hands free mode while is is streaming music!
