Would have to say that I prefer the Jambox over the Bose. My husband have the Bose and I used it quite a bit, but prefer the Jambox. Having the ability to control some features from the unit is nice. If I could blend both units, it would be the perfect unit. I would have to say that the Bose is the step child.
