The new Jam Rhythm comes at an affordable price. Moreover, this device has the ability to stream via Wi-Fi, which is a good plus.
However, the real attraction at this new speaker is that is can work with Amazon Alexa. This means that customers will be able to get informed through the speaker of the weather and traffic, or they can make online orders, or listen to music.
The new Jam Rhythm comes with an average size and customers should know that it works through Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth. Customers will be able to buy the new Jam Rhythm at the price of 99 dollars.
We must admit that it doesn’t sound expensive at all and the Amazon Alexa is a huge plus.
The new Jam Rhythm comes with a body that measures 7.4 x 8.4 x 6.3 inches.
This means that this device is relatively compact. To be added that this device comes in a black-and-gray color, but approximately the entire body is covered in a speaker grille. Behind the grille, the company added dual front-firing drivers that deliver a decent sound.
On top of the speaker, customers will find a rubberized panel that homes a couple of useful controls. We are talking about the volume, playback, and preset buttons.
The volume buttons can also be used for track navigation if people will hold the buttons longer. As many people already know, these combining volume and track navigation buttons are not very handy, because people can accidentally skip a track when they really mean to adjust the volume.
On the back of the speaker, the company added a port with inputs and outputs like a 3.5mm aux input, a Wi-Fi button, the connection for the included power adapter, and a port to allow air movement from the speaker’s drivers.
Unfortunately, other than the adapter, the company didn’t add other accessories inside the box. But, customers should know that the new Jam Rhythm works with the free Jam Wi-Fi app. This app can be found on both Android and iOS app stores. The speaker installation is also very easy, customers will just have to set up Wi-Fi streaming, install firmware updates and that is it.
Within the Jam WiFi app, customers will be able to stream audio from several streaming services, including Napster, Tidal, and Spotify.
Moreover, there is the support for Amazon Alexa. Customers will be able to use the app to ask Alexa a question. Another great thing about this app is that it can be used to connect eight speakers in a multi-room setup.
These speakers can be controlled individually, for example controlling the volume speaker by speaker. However, at 99 dollars per speaker, we don’t think that someone will buy eight Jam Rhythm speakers.
In the end, we must say that the new Jam Rhythm offers a good volume. At high volumes, due to the DSP feature, the speaker will prevent distortion. At moderate volumes, the speaker offers a nice and powerful bass.
