00:00:07.399 --> 00:00:13.559
so the jam boox got a fair amount of flak when I did my video about it for

00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:17.480
being expensive because it's a Bluetooth speaker that acts as doubles as a

00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:23.160
speaker phone it's got like you know bass and treble

00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:24.760
and all that stuff this is a less

00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:29.080
expensive alternative this is the Twist speaker with rechargeable battery it is

00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:33.879
basically a speaker and speaker phone plus like

00:00:30.599 --> 00:00:35.320
base and treble and stuff so slick wants

00:00:33.879 --> 00:00:39.680
me to get the packaging off it in a hurry because it's pretty shiny so we're

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:45.000
just going to undress this Bluetooth speaker in a big way and Slick's

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:49.320
apparently tired and wants to sit down cuz he's trying to move that like stool

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:53.520
over here uh so let's see what the manufacturer has to say for themselves

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:58.199
um sorry stick there's nothing I can do it is Wireless okay

00:00:56.199 --> 00:01:01.879
a2dp Bluetooth for wireless music streaming with a 30 foot range it is a

00:01:00.239 --> 00:01:05.320
speaker phone with a built-in microphone an advanced noise cancellation for

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:09.759
wireless speaker phone calls bold sound two speakers and one passive subwoofer

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:13.720
auxiliary input which is Handy rechargeable battery okay offers up to 5

00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:17.119
hours of continuous play time now I can tell you guys right now that that is

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:21.680
significantly less than the jam boox however if you were paying like you know

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:28.600
if you were paying per minute of play time then um The Twist is still a better

00:01:24.880 --> 00:01:30.600
deal however you also lose the size

00:01:28.600 --> 00:01:34.280
advantage that something like the jam box has so here we have a fairly large

00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:41.640
speaker that is actually apparently supposed to go this way not the other way and uh here we have a significantly

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:46.920
smaller one and just for good measure I

00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:49.840
am going to do the iPhone comparison yay

00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.840
here you should get the top down

00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:57.240
view so now you know how big they all

00:01:53.960 --> 00:01:58.320
are um I don't know slick wants me to do

00:01:57.240 --> 00:02:04.479
this there you go so let's go through the pairing

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:07.640
process together and see just how uh

00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:09.959
just how awesome the Twist speaker

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:16.840
is settings Bluetooth so probably you just

00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:19.680
like press and hold the thing right a

00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:22.239
it's not charged oh it's not on oh there we go okay well why don't we take an

00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:27.160
actual look at the unit itself so we've got controls here bluetooth volume up

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:30.440
volume down power and like something pick up the phone play pause put down

00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:35.040
the phone uh you've got what appears to be ah

00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:39.239
there's your two speakers there's your passive subwoofer so it looks like this

00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:41.959
is actually kind of empty space I don't feel a whole lot in there or maybe

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:46.720
there's the battery there whereas most of the business end of uh things is in

00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:50.040
this particular twist so there's the twist there's the like not as Twisted

00:02:48.760 --> 00:02:54.760
parts for when you put it on the table so it doesn't roll um has kind of a soft

00:02:53.519 --> 00:03:00.599
touch feel to it kind of like bit Phoenix

00:02:56.519 --> 00:03:04.200
cases so let's press on see what happens

00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.200
here and it's not

00:03:05.799 --> 00:03:12.460
charged dancing makes more sense when there's

00:03:14.959 --> 00:03:21.760
music so the pairing process took a matter of like seconds even for slick

00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:26.360
who had incidentally never paired anything over Bluetooth to his phone

00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:33.000
before this is Slick's phone um mine's out of battery from tweeting too much

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:38.360
honestly we're both really impressed uh for a fraction of the price and like 1

00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:47.840
over three is a fraction I think so for a fraction of the price the twist is

00:03:41.640 --> 00:03:51.799
louder and clearer with better more

00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:55.840
um more Punchy base than the jam boox by

00:03:51.799 --> 00:03:57.280
Jawbone so uh it loses the compactness

00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:03.280
okay so remember it is significantly bigger it loses the Uber battery life

00:04:00.760 --> 00:04:06.879
so that's kind of a big deal to a lot of people if it was me I'd probably still

00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:13.079
go with the jam boox assuming they were the same price um however they're not um

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:17.880
and I think he said there was another yep yeah I know the one uh wait no I

00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:20.680
don't know the one well yes I do another

00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:24.639
one so this isn't even as loud as it goes however that was as loud as we

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:27.880
could get it comfortably and maintain the clarity of the base it does start to

00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:33.680
distort eventually but not like the jam boox

00:04:30.280 --> 00:04:37.400
it's empty in the valley of your heart

00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:40.560
the sun it rises slowly as you walk away

00:04:37.400 --> 00:04:42.880
from all the fears and all the fults

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:46.400
you've oh there we go bit of a delay there um so thank you for checking out

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:49.919
my unboxing and first look at the Twist speaker don't forget to subscribe to

00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:53.800
Linus techtips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos oh

00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:59.360
wait one more thing and what's another thing that's great about it is that it

00:04:54.919 --> 00:05:01.919
charges by mini not by stupid micro USB

00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:04.880
which is is more fragile and less accessible there I have fewer micro

00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.160
cables and I think most people probably do as well
