If the JAM Trance Mini was just another Bluetooth speaker I would have passed it by. But it has some nice things going for it. The full name the company gives it is: JAM Trance Mini Wireless Lightshow Speaker. An LED light show! I like that part. Although many of the 36 LED light party programs that synch with your music will seem similar, I found the Equalizer setting is the best choice if you really want to see the lights move to the beat of your music. The light show is the biggest difference between this and other small Bluetooth speakers. This also features a microphone so you can use it as a speakerphone and of course wireless connectivity with any Bluetooth device in a 30-foot range. If you have a device without Bluetooth, there's an AUX in jack too. Not quite so common are 'voice prompts' ...this speaker tells you what it’s doing (powering on, connecting, etc.). It has a rubberized exterior which JAM says is designed for protection of the device. Battery life is okay. Charge for 3 hours to provide up to 5 hours of play time with lights, about double that without the lights. (But why would you want that?) Best of all, the sound is really decent for it's size and especially for its price. MSRP is $39.99, but I saw it on the Wal-Mart website and the BH Photo website for $29.99!
