The Jabra Solemate is built as if it is
some camping equipment or an original part of a Hummer. With rubber teeth on
the bottom and a sturdy grill on front, this small boom box is both heavy and
sturdy.
A lot of thought seems to have gone into
the design. Below the rubber sole of the boombox is a groove to hold the 3.5mm
cord, in case you don’t want to use Bluetooth or the USB to connect this
device. Yes, you read it right. This device has all of the above options as far
as connectivity is concerned. But in its soul the Solemate is a Bluetooth
device. It takes about a minute to pair the boombox to a phone or tablet, and
once done you can even take calls on it. On top, flanked by the volume buttons
is a call answering button which you can use to answer calls. Ideal use case
scenarios would be users keeping the phone away while at home or in office and
using only the Solemate to take calls.

Though small, this device has a decent
sound output coming from three front facing speakers. It is louder than what
you would expect it to be, but that means it is not all that subtle when you
want it to be. So we suggest you use this to pep up a party or to pump life
into a long drive, but not to play the best of soul music or jazz. It is just
not made for that kind of notes. But then the same set of specs becomes a boon
if you are trying to watch a movie or a game on a smaller screen.

The battery life is good enough for about
10 hours of music after a full charge. The one drawback is the weight. While
the 610 gm gives it a robust feel, it is just too much for a device that you
can hold in your hand and intend to carry along on your travels.
