Yes you can carry it in your arm but its portability is more of a room to room type and not a "go hiking" with type.

I have bought both the Jawbone Jambox and the Bose Soundlink for my daughter's birthday tomorrow. She will be 33, so I want a gift befitting of her age and social scene. I like the Jawbone because it is very small and easy to put in her purse but I like the Bose because of the reputation of Bose products. The Jawbone was about $80 less then the Bose. I have been reading reviews and there seems to be similar problems with the blue tooth aspect of both products. But I get the feeling the sound quality is close even with the Bose being much bigger. I see in your comment that the Jawbone can also act like an external speaker and mic which is good for as you say for conference calls etc. I don't see that anyone has responded about the Bose. I think based on the reviews it might be pretty even between both products and in that case I want the smaller unit with the big sounds. I wish I could play them both side by side, but if I open the packaging it will negate taking one of them back. Also Bose never gives you any specification to compare with other products on sound quality because they always say it is in the design not just the specs but it is hard to compare without specs.

Hi there, I bought the earphone/head-set for travel purposes (plane and rail) - in noisy environements the music quality is good, the ANC is good as well. But I do not have any experience ie with the Bose stuff since I was looking for something at resonable price. The mechanical quality is fair - the head-set function seems to be broken already- maybe a loose contact. kind regards, Dieter

In back there is a mini-USB jack (not micro) only. There is no audio-out. One option:I occasionally use it when playing via Bluetooth to a Bose Soundlink II. It holds either my iPhone or Ipad without tipping over and sound quality over BT is pretty darn good.

I use it on my phone in my pocket so I'd image there would be extra cord if it's connected on your arm, I'd probably tie up the extra myself, these sound great and are super light

This headphone is a bit bulky. Not the best one for travelling. The headphone does come with a travel pouch, but its not compact to carry. Running is a no brainer no.

I was on the fence for both these products, the Soundlink and the Jambox but after MUCH decision making, I will be going with the Soundlink because music quality and loudness are more important to me than portability. Yes both are relatively small but the Jambox would be perfect for someone who is on the go a lot and needs something that easily fits in any backpack or purse.

I am listening to mine right now via BlackBerry tooth. I have had it for well over a year and use it most every day. My son gave me a Jam blue tooth portable speaker for Christmas, and, while nice and a little smaller, has a shorter battery charge and less audio volume and quality. However, I was under the impression that Monster had quit making the Clarity.

the clip just has more features I think they sound about the same but I won't lie to you I think when I connect this to my micro wireless they sound better then when I connect this to the clip, in other words Micro probably works better with another micro andclip probably works better with another clip just in case you were considering daisy chaining! I partly think this in the micro wireless probably get a smidge louder than the clip

Yes to carry case & wireless remote control if you get the 4GB model. No to headphones. Sound quality is excellent

Hi JC the sound quality is not affected by the holder and you can be rest assured about that. We finally used some headphones as "The Wheels on the Bus " played repeatedly, did start to create an issue!!!!! I started hearing it in my sleep.

Honest truth, this not a volume-producing musical device. For that you're simply going to need a larger Bluetooth implement. I would describe this as a "personal audio device," very useful for carrying around the house, playing some tunes for a few friends so you can all hear the same thing without doing that gross thing of sharing earbuds (really!). But for these uses it really is excellent. Crank it up all the way and it might provide acceptable-quality sound reproduction maybe 10-12 feet away. But with interference from other sound sources, like passing trucks or other people's music? Don't count on it. I'm very happy with mine, but I own two serious vintage stereo systems, and two modern ones that are "moderately serious," so I wasn't looking for blam blam boom.

Yes, I highly recommend this device, I've been using this for over a month now. I travel a lot so it comes everywhere with me, combined with a mini bose speaker I have a mini cinema everywhere, anywhere you can find a wall. I also suggest getting a small tripod as well.

You have to carry the device with you all the time on the right side. The earphones do not have a very long range. The bluetooth system is not very strong in the device.

I own both the XS and the M50. Personally I use the XS for travel and the M50 at home. They both have a great sound but the M50 is flat and doesn't add anything to the music (which is good for mixing and recording). But the XS adds a warm signature to the music, it also boosts the bass a bit too. The M50 is bigger and may take up more space in a bag, and the XS is really tiny. The XS on the head is pretty comfortable, but after wearing it for an hour it gets a little sore on my ears (but after an hour it is understandable). The M50 however, makes the top of my head hurt after around 30-45 minutes, and I have to take it off due to the pain. It's really weird but I think the cushion placement in the headband is a little flawed. They are both outstanding headphones, up to you if you don't mind a bigger fit or a smaller conforming fit.

I have had both headphones. I did not notice any difference in sound quality. I preferred the K551 for portability. They are both great headphones.

Good question ? I,ve had mine for a couple of years now , I've placed it on various surfaces , this device is quite heavy there-for it will not walk & no vibration . (P.S.) : its quite a "niftee" package & the sound is great ! hope this brief is help-ful ?
