    Jumbl Bluetooth 4.0 Hands-Free Calling & A2DP Audio Streaming Adapter/Receiver - Black

    • The Jumbl has a superior skip button to the Smart Bean, which will cut out the first few seconds of a song when I skip
    • I had purchased the smart bean bluetooth before and it worked much better and less expensive
    • The Smart Bean has never disconnected on me
    • The smart bean remedies this because you can adjust the actual devices volume and helps increase bass response dramatically.
    • The buttons on the Jumbl get a little confusing for me this way, while the layout of the buttons on the Smart Bean make more sense for me clipped to my bra straps.-Sound quality: The Jumbl gets a little louder than my Smart Bean, but it has inferior sound quality
    • The Smart Bean has also survived the washing machine without being affected at all, but I'm not about to put my Jumbl through the wash to see if it's just as durable
    • The Smart Bean will also dial the last person you called if you don't hold down the button long enough when turning it off, and I haven't run into this problem with the Jumbl
    • I can usually get around 8-9 hours of use while the Smart Bean only lasts about 5 hours.-Connectivity
    • This is the main reason why I keep both my Jumbl and Smart Bean charged and on me at all times at the gym
    • The sound has a background buzzing quality to it, and the bass is unbearable at higher volumes.-Clip: I would say the Jumbl has a slightly tighter clip than the Smart Bean, however the clip of my Jumbl tends to get messed up when I stretch the clip too far because there's a peg and hole type situation going on in the back which can get knocked out of place and be a little fussy to fix.-Extras: the Smart Bean comes with a male to male jack, which I appreciated
    • I recommend the smart bean
    • The Jumbl also takes longer to connect to my phone than the Smart Bean
    • Just get a smart bean.
    • Jumbl has a slightly better range; I can't walk too far away from my phone with the Smart Bean on without the sound cutting in and out.-Button functionality
    • However, I do like how the Smart Bean has a voice announcing when the device is connected, when it's turning off, and when the battery is low
    • wish the battery life was better, but can't complain as that is a very common issue with these BT devices.
    • Really disappointing as I use it to sleep with and would like it to last 8 hours, minimum.
    • Works as excepted.
    • The sound is not as good as when they are plugged in directly, But having the option to switch any of my headphone into wireless mode is great.
    • It worked as I expected it to.
    • The clip on the back had me worried as I use it on my motorcycle, but I just clip it to my
