Bluetooth speakers: What do you like? Models to avoid? - decay - 03-05-2013
looking at low-cost speakers, ran across this:
TekNMotion Air Capsule Portable Bluetooth Stereo Speaker
http://www.amazon.com/TekNmotion-TM-AIRC-Capsule-Portable-Bluetooth/dp/B009EPSJWS
or maybe this
HMDX Audio HX-P230GY JAM Bluetooth Wireless Speaker
http://www.amazon.com/HMDX-HX-P230GY-Bluetooth-Wireless-Blackberry/dp/B007R6HUFI/
can't really swing a Jawbone for $150 ... any models you folks own or have heard that offer a good sound for the money?

Not bluetooth. It's wifi.

I have a JBL Bluetooth speaker, for my 7th gen. Nano, suits me fine!

I'm picky about my music so I use the Bose speakers but they are very expensive. Bose Bluetooth speakers
Prior to that I was using the Monster ClarityHD Bluetooth Wireless Speaker which I got on sale for $50. It makes sound. It's fairly loud and doesn't distort easily. It also has an input jack which makes it useful with other devices including an airport express. I would say this is bottom of the barrel though and I was never very happy with it. http://www.amazon.com/Monster-ClarityHD-Bluetooth-Wireless-Speaker/dp/B003TFEHMU/ref=sr_1_34?ie=UTF8&qid=1362506376&sr=8-34&keywords=bluetooth+speaker
My father uses the Jawbone Jambox which sounds surprisingly good for it's size. I was it on refurb for $99 about a month ago. At christmas time it was selling for $130 at costco. I think for the money it's the best unit out there. http://www.amazon.com/Jawbone-JAMBOX-Wireless-Bluetooth-Speaker/dp/B004E10KI8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1362506641&sr=1-1&keywords=jambox+jawbone

I've had an iClarity for almost a year and am very pleased with it. My only complaint is that the light on the front is too bright. I put tape over it to tone it down, not an elegant solution.
$55 on eBay

Maybe a little whiteout over each led? Or use a silver or black sharpee.

My wife uses the Jawbone Jambox also. I was skeptical at first, but it puts out a surprisingly good, rich sound for the size.

Probably not exactly what you are looking for, but:

...great, great sound. Last week I went to a couple of Targets that had these on clearance for $50-$60 - you might swing by and see if that might be the case in your area - it would be a steal.
