So yes, while the Big Jambox is indeed bigger, it still weighs in at under 3 pounds (crazy!) making it a super versatile household gadget, whether or not you're just an audiophile like my husband. The Big Jambox is built on a different platform than the original Jambox, and has the capacity to fill an entire backyard with awesome sound--so perfect for summer dinner parties and BBQs. But you can also hook it up to your television and make movie night more like movie theater night.

They've added a few other handy features, like buttons on the top so you don't need your smart phone to control the songs, plus it can pair two devices at one time. And I love that it will remember up to 8 devices, so you're not stuck with the same person's playlist for the entire night.

If it's anywhere near as awesome and pretty as the original Jambox, it's going to be a fixture in our house, our office, and even our backyard. I am ready! -Kristen
