Plus, the unique design means it clips onto your sun visor in the car for hands-free communication.<\/p>\n<p>The sound quality from the speaker is decent, much better than a lot of more expensive devices (though I&#8217;d still prefer a Jambox for audio fidelity), and it can actually go quite loud. Not room-filling or anything, but plenty loud for private listening. But the main advantages are the fact that it acts as a very good Bluetooth speakerphone, charges via micro USB (and can be charged with your external Z10 charger), can go weeks without a charge and has a 3.5mm headset jack, which essentially makes it a Bluetooth receiver for use with a stereo or headphones.<\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/01\/30\/blackberry-bluetooth-mini-stereo-speaker-review-price\/bb-speaker\/' title='bb-speaker'><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/01\/30\/blackberry-bluetooth-mini-stereo-speaker-review-price\/speaker-4\/' title='speaker-4'><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/01\/30\/blackberry-bluetooth-mini-stereo-speaker-review-price\/bb-speaker3\/' title='bb-speaker3'><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2013\/01\/30\/blackberry-bluetooth-mini-stereo-speaker-review-price\/bb-speaker2\/' title='bb-speaker2'><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The hardware accessory market is a place where it&#8217;s hard to compete with platforms like iOS and Android, and that&#8217;s likely why BlackBerry is taking an early interest in doing things itself.
