The sound quality is a definite improvement over what you get with the speakers on a typical phone or tablet, although not quite as rich or deep as more expensive speakers. It easily fills a room with sound, and only at higher volumes does the quality start to suffer a bit.

Conclusion: We're mixed
You won't confuse the HMDX Jam with a high-end Bluetooth speaker like the Jawbone Jambox or Braven 650. However, at about $40, it's one of the cheapest Bluetooth speakers currently available. It's also small enough to take with you to the park, pool, or beach. It gets loud enough to fill a small room, and the sound quality is adequate for casual listening, though it does tend to distort a fair amount at higher volumes. Still, it's a good speaker for its price, and is perfect to take places where you may not want to bring a more expensive Bluetooth speaker.

This is a great little speaker if you dont need full sized speaker sound. Works well as a kitchen/garage/backyard portable unit
