The JLab Shaker is an awesome little Bluetooth speaker. It's small, yet packs a good punch. The Shaker doesn't sound like a $400 Bluetooth speaker, mainly because it isn't. Yet, it doesn't sound like a $70 speaker either. It's great sounding for what it is, and what it is is a $70 Bluetooth speaker and microphone, with a twist.
The Shaker isn't your average speaker, it uses something called "Vibration Technology," which is very nice and makes the speaker sound much better than without it. You can use the speaker in one of a few ways, on a wall, on glass, on a hard surface, or just holding it in your hand. Holding it in your hand isn't the best way to listen to it, because it can't shine with the Vibration Technology. The best way to use this speaker is honestly on glass or on a hollow drywall, well, wall.
I have used this Shaker for many different things, from in construction as we renovate my basement, to in the car driving from Nashville to Chattanooga and using it as a Bluetooth speaker for my phone.
The charge time is very good on it, I was able to get a few days of moderate use from it on a single charge. The charging cable is very unique, it is not only a USB charging cable, but it also doubles as a 3.5mm headphone input/auxiliary jack so you can even use it with non-Bluetooth devices! See below for our video review.
All in all, the Shaker is an awesome device for the price, and sounds fairly good. It has the microphone, which is just an added bonus. If you're looking for a good speaker that doesn't break the bank, check out the JLab Shaker!
