welcome to my unboxing of a product that I'm actually pretty interested in this
0:11
is the Jawbone Jam Box it comes in a variety of different colors this one is
0:14
Blue Wave because it has it's blue and it has like kind of a wavy design on it
0:19
so let's talk about all of their claims about it this is just going to be a peer
0:24
unboxing for this one guys I'm going to be doing an updated video on my NCC
0:28
Channel where I'm going to take a closer look look at this and actually try it in
0:31
the various scenarios where Jawbone says that it's going to perform very very
0:36
well but we're just going to stick with what's here what's neat about it and uh
0:40
that there so they say killer audio and I've the rumor the word on the street is
0:46
that the audio is actually surprisingly good given the form factor and given the
0:49
four hours of battery life you can get out of it remember four hours depends on
0:52
the volume we're listening at updatable and intelligent so yes you can update
0:56
the firmware so they can actually add features in the future and uh back last
1:00
year they actually added a feature that made it perform significantly better so
1:03
it looks like they're very serious about this blast wireless high-fi audio from
1:06
your phone MP3 player tablet or laptop so anything with Bluetooth first
1:10
intelligent speaker software updates and spoken battery status okay you can also
1:13
see the battery life on your phone if you want which is kind of neat uh Party
1:17
jam blast Tunes movie Jam enjoy big three to sound on any screen size game
1:21
Jam bring games to life with High Fidelity talk Jam you can conference so
1:25
it actually works as a speaker phone as well which is kind of cool feel the
1:28
power of Earth shaking bass in the palming your hands so according to their
1:31
claims this is 0 decimal to 120 did I say decimals I meant decb so whisper
1:36
refrigerator City traffic motorcycle Jam boox at 85 DB which is pretty impressive
1:42
if they actually achieved that so let's go ahead and get it opened up because
1:45
the last side just says what's included in the box and since we're going to open
1:48
the box we don't need to look at that
1:51
very nice retail Box by the way kind of reminds me of the Razer Mamba like the
1:56
crystal uh crystal top like having the
2:00
uh the product sort of hovering there in
2:04
space all right here we go so inside
2:08
here we find oh wow that's an amazing
2:11
retail package and I've unboxed a lot of products this is a very very nice uh
2:16
nice box black Pages inside got all your
2:19
instructions power up get connected get listening get talking personalize an
2:22
update and it's all in English no it's not okay there's french on oh okay
2:28
Spanish on the other side there you go okay cool here's your charging cable using
2:33
micro USB 12 in or 1 foot or 30 cm
2:37
whichever you prefer there's other more different one really 60
2:43
in do they really include just like two different sizes of USB cable whatever is
2:48
better for you look at that they do it's
2:51
exactly the same thing just shorter or longer cool thanks jobin all right then
2:56
we've got oh that's kind of a schmexy looking uh
3:01
stereo cable once again that's a 60-in cable gray on one side blue on the other
3:05
side to match your jam box okay cool
3:10
then we have a charger so that's just a USB to uh to
3:16
AC okay can take off the label cuz we know
3:19
what that is okay and finally a carrying
3:23
case so you can throw it in a bag or in your backp uh backpack or whatever else
3:27
without damaging it oh that's actually quite nice
3:30
I wonder if it's it's got something in here so I wonder if it's like magnetic
3:33
or something I don't actually know that so if that's not a feature then I'm very
3:37
sorry for getting your hopes up but uh
3:41
maybe that's a suggestion for like jam boox V2 that they do it that way if they
3:45
haven't already done it that way this time okay so let's see we got some tape
3:50
here which is going to allow us to remove this got some tape here which is
3:53
going to allow us to remove this we've got some clips here that are going to
3:57
allow us to remove that and we have extracted Ed the jam box from the retail
4:02
packaging so I do want to try this out
4:05
just because I'm curious so let's go ahead and throw that in there fits
4:09
snugly but not uh not too difficult to
4:12
put
4:16
in and it is magnetic hey hey look at
4:19
that so the whole thing is like super protected you can go ahead and open it
4:24
up and slide it out not too difficult
4:27
that'll probably get easier as time goes on okay and there it
4:32
is so what is it it's basically just a
4:35
Bluetooth speaker with that they claim can achieve up to 85 DB so you can have
4:41
a very different listening experience than you're used to whether you're
4:45
playing games on your tablet you know you just put it near you and you have uh
4:49
your game audio coming out of there whether you're listening to music so you
4:52
walk into your kitchen or whatever you put down your jam box you want to listen
4:56
to music on your phone instead of draining your battery to to high hell
5:00
uh you can just stream it over Bluetooth to this guy and then charge it up later
5:04
um I think that pretty much covers
5:08
it input wise so we've got your power as
5:11
well as your power off we've got your stereo your charging so you don't have
5:17
to do it wirelessly maybe this is power I
5:21
actually don't know give me a sec okay so clarifying A couple things up to 10
5:25
hours of battery life rather than 4 hours that I said before so I have no
5:28
idea where I pulled that number out of once again though depends on the volume
5:31
you're listening to and the content so you got your charging spot here you got
5:35
your stereo Port here this is power and pairing so that's why it has a number of
5:39
different positions and then up here that is your talk button so you can use
5:44
that to answer or end a call that's volume down and that's volume up so
5:48
