The Jam Titanium bluetooth speaker is a well priced, solid all round performer that is difficult to fault. It is not the best looking speaker out there (though the other colours do look nicer than this one in my opinion) but it makes up for that with its good sound quality, nice feature set and ability to take the control of the music playing experience away from the smartphone.
Yes the fact that it can “only” skip forward and back, play and pause does mean you will need to have the playlist set up in the first place, but this is more control than most portable speakers will give you. The same went for speakerphone calls, which when answered via your handset give you the ability to end them via the speaker if needed.
There are of course speakers out there that do more than the Jam Titanium. There are speakers that have their own apps, wireless updates, smart-bluetooth remote-on and higher audio quality, but they are invariably more expensive.
This bluetooth speaker comes with solid audio quality at the top and low-end and though it might be a little weak in the middle, it more than makes up for that with its feature set which even outstrips some much more expensive models. The only major down point for this reviewer was in the way it looks, but that is so much a matter of opinion that it barely counts as a negative.
All in all, the Jam Titanium speaker is a solid choice for anyone looking for an affordable bluetooth speaker that will deliver most of the features of much more expensive models, without breaking the bank.
The Jam Titanium is available straight from Jam Audio for £50.
