Bluetooth: Built-in Bluetooth® capability for easy pairing with your favourite JAM speaker.

The Jam Rhythm is a great speaker for those who just can’t justify the expense of a Sonos Play:1.

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.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. 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?

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. There are some quirks in the software, too. However, for a brand-new budget multiroom speaker family, the Rhythm works well. The bass goes deep, too. If you’re able to crank up the volume every now and then, the Jam Rhythm is worth dancing around the house to. However, like most speakers using a traditional driver setup such as this, it does need to have some power behind it to really open up. 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.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. 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.

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 Speakers: 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's. 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. 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.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.
