About this deal

Small and cheap Spotify Connect speakers that we’ve reviewed over the past year or so have almost universally sounded quite poor. Here, we were pleasantly surprised. 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.

There are a couple of special features, too. You can turn the Jam Rhythm into an intercom, speaking into the app through your phone and out of the speaker. Party MC, perhaps? 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 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. It cuts out all the superficial fancy elements while retaining plenty of useful features and support for streaming services. Crucially, sound quality is strong too. Bass is impressive with the volume raised and balance is solid, making this speaker very easy to recommend to those on a tight budget. The bottom panel is natural MDF wood and held to the unit via screws, making it easy to access the internal components. The bottom panel also has drilled hole openings for ventilation and metal leg risers, which elevate the Jam Sound Stream turntable 2cm off the ground. The legs have rubber feet pads for grip with a 3cm diameter. There is a clear plastic cover (5cm high) to protect the turntable from impacts and dust. The cover hinges are made of plastic and have some flex when pushed which is a good thing to prevent it from breaking off. The Jam Sound Stream turntable cover stays lifted almost upright at a slight angle.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. On the other hand we were very impressed with what the Jam Heavy Metal had to offer, handing it five stars and praising its “impressive bass reach”. We called it a “well made, good-looking slab of metal," and it's a popular option given it tends to be half-price if you shop around. It’s also really worthwhile spending the time to look at the key differences between the two products. For that you can use our comparison table about which looks at the main features of both products to give you a clear idea of where one product perhaps benefits over another. When comparing the two it’s a really good idea to have an idea in your mind of the key features that you need from your Turntables as this will help you to narrow down the products that do or don’t meet your criteria. 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. Does it matter? The Jam Rhythm isn’t a speaker designed to be the focal point of your lounge; it’s a speaker for which you might consider unseating a few Bill Bryson books on your bookshelf. It’s small and it will blend in. It isn’t beautiful, but nor is it ugly.

Bluetooth / Built-in speakers mean 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 vinyl. 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. This Jam Sound HX-TTP200WDA-GB Belt Drive Turntable will bring you that nostalgic sound of old vinyl you’ve been missing so much.Built-in speakers make this turntable a very handy compact choice. It’s complemented by its classic, minimal wooden design that will not disappoint any living space. Pull out the full collection! The three-speed options let you play singles, LPs or old pre-50s pieces, so you’re sorted with all your vinyl. 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.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. The “favourites” button is the star. The blue LED next to it shows the current favourite being used 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 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. 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
