About this deal

Bluetooth: Built-in Bluetooth® capability for easy pairing with your favourite JAM speaker. With a range of up to 30-ft/10-m it can seamlessly connect to any Bluetooth compatible speaker. We didn’t find the Jam Classic to be the most captivating of performers, noting that if your aim was to boost the audio of your smartphone, “the JAM Classic 2.0 does enough. Just.” Three stars was our indifferent verdict. The Jam Rhythm’s wireless reliability wasn’t perfect during testing either, but seemingly only because it didn’t get on too well with our Netgear Nighthawk X4S router, which has caused problems with other smaller-brand wireless speakers in the past. This speaker’s standard setup procedure is simple and clearly explained – and if you have any issues, the speaker also supports WPS pairing.

The sound reproduction is clear, clean and naturally warm sounding. There is good instrument separation between the left and right channels, thanks to the location of the built-in speakers - 30cm apart. The JAM Sound Stream+ Turntable is a belt drive turntable so, the motor that rotates the platter is driven by a belt, which creates far less noise vibration than a direct drive turntable. On the downside, belt driven turntables aren't as durable because the belt will have to be replaced at some point; whereas with a direct drive turntable you don't because there is no belt - the platter is directly attached to the motor; hence the name "direct drive". Only a synthetic edge to the mid-range betrays the perhaps humble quality of the hardware, but I’ve heard far more expensive speakers suffer from similar issues.Getting wirelessly stereo-paired speakers to play together without perceptible delay is one of the main multiroom technical challenges. The Jam Rhythm does handle this, but you can actually hear it stumbling over the sync at the start of every streaming session. For the first second or so it’s as if the speakers are wildly out-of-sync before eventually lining up in what is the sound equivalent of the speaker tripping up on its laces. The only issue I would have is the louder volumes can be a bit tinny and have the standard static noise, however, this only happens at the louder settings and lower volume this isn’t an issue. If this issue affects you can plug in external speakers via the RCA output so you can get better sound at louder volumes which is great. You can rest the Jam Rhythm on its side, or sit it upright – there are discreet rubbery feet on two sides to stop it from slipping. The logo on the front turns swivels to ensure it’s the correct way up to match the speaker’s placement. You can alter the sound output to suit: upright mode switches to mono, while the Rhythm plays a stereo feed on its side. Bluetooth / Built-in Bluetooth® capability for easy pairing with your favourite JAM speaker. With a range of up to 30-ft/10-m it can seamlessly connect to any Bluetooth compatible speaker. Jam Audio is fast becoming one of the most interesting lower-cost speaker companies on the market. The Jam Rhythm is a great speaker for those who just can’t justify the expense of a Sonos Play:1.

Built in Speakers -All you need to do is add vinyl. Straight out of the box this turntable is ready to add the sound to any of your vinyls. The Jam Rhythm is a dinky wireless speaker. There’s no shortage of rivals in this class; top alternatives include the Sonos and the less impressive Bose SoundTouch 10.To fill a room you might also want to consider getting hold of two Jam Rhythm speakers, since the sound sweet spot is a little narrower than some. Bluetooth– Built-in Bluetooth® capability for easy pairing with your favorite JAM speaker. So you can grow the party and amplify the sound, with a range of up to 30-ft/10-m you can seamlessly connect to any Bluetooth compatible speaker. The Jam Rhythm is a full Wi-Fi speaker, capable of multiroom audio antics, Spotify Connect streaming and even a direct connection to Tidal. It doesn’t have Bluetooth, though, so you can’t stream the audio from your phone games to the speaker. There is an aux input, so it isn’t a closed system such as the Sonos Play:1. More useful, you can also set four favourites. These are accessed using the “favourite” button on the top panel. They might be radio stations, Tidal albums or Tidal playlists. You can’t use them for Spotify albums or playlists, though, because Spotify isn’t fully integrated into the app. There are some quirks in the software, too. However, for a brand-new budget multiroom speaker family, the Rhythm works well.

RCA Output / Want to grow the party to speakers that do not have Bluetooth, no problem! We’ve got you covered with the RCA output The “favourites” button is the star. The blue LED next to it shows the current favourite being used
