The Bottom Line The iHome iDM11 doesn't sound quite as good as the Jawbone Jambox, but it's a better value at less than $70. The iHome iDM8 is a good portable Bluetooth speaker for the money; we just like its step-up brother, the DM11, a little better. The Jambox is the most stylish portable speaker we've seen, with features and sound quality you won't find in comparable compact designs. 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.
