Logitech Mini Boombox
CNET rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 (Very good)
The good: Designed to augment the sound of tablets and smartphones, the Logitech Mini Boombox is a very compact--and cute--Bluetooth speaker that has a built-in rechargeable battery, speakerphone capabilities, a line input, and touch controls. Its sound is impressive for its tiny size.
The bad: The Mini Boombox can't handle heavy bass at higher volumes and the glossy finish is prone to showing scratches.
The cost: $86.16 to $99.99
The bottom line: The Logitech Mini Boombox Bluetooth speaker doesn't sound quite as good as the Jawbone Jambox--or look quite as slick--but it can play loud and has identical features for about half the price.
