Introduction

Jabra are an up and coming consumer audio brand, having branched off from professional audio solutions. Jabra are not entirely new to us, we’ve taken a look at a few products in the past such as the Bluetooth stereo headphones and the premium REVO headphones, both of which had a great design, however app wasn’t particularly good and tied you down to if it you wished to make the most from the headphones. Today we are looking at yet another wireless product from them, the Jabra Solemate Mini Bluetooth speaker.

More and more devices are becoming wireless, no thanks to the latest low power Bluetooth version and more energy efficient batteries. Jabra have been quick to jump on the portable speaker train to product one of their smallest and most powerful speakers yet. We’ve had a fair few portable speakers in to review so it will be interesting to see how it stands in a very soon-to-be crowded market.
