About this deal

Only a synthetic edge to the mid-range betrays the perhaps humble quality of the hardware, but I’ve heard far more expensive speakers suffer from similar issues. The “favourites” button is the star. The blue LED next to it shows the current favourite being used

There are some quirks in the software, too. However, for a brand-new budget multiroom speaker family, the Rhythm works well. Built in Speakers -All you need to do is add vinyl. Straight out of the box this turntable is ready to add the sound to any of your vinyls. What’s better JAM Sound HX-TTP200WDA-GB Belt Drive Turntable or Jam Play Stream HX-TT500BWD Belt Drive Bluetooth Turntable?The bottom panel is natural MDF wood and held to the unit via screws, making it easy to access the internal components. The bottom panel also has drilled hole openings for ventilation and metal leg risers, which elevate the Jam Sound Stream turntable 2cm off the ground. The legs have rubber feet pads for grip with a 3cm diameter. There is a clear plastic cover (5cm high) to protect the turntable from impacts and dust. The cover hinges are made of plastic and have some flex when pushed which is a good thing to prevent it from breaking off. The Jam Sound Stream turntable cover stays lifted almost upright at a slight angle.

The Jam Rhythm’s wireless reliability wasn’t perfect during testing either, but seemingly only because it didn’t get on too well with our Netgear Nighthawk X4S router, which has caused problems with other smaller-brand wireless speakers in the past. This speaker’s standard setup procedure is simple and clearly explained – and if you have any issues, the speaker also supports WPS pairing. It’s very easy to set up, unbox it, plug it in, remove plastic protections and turn it on, DONE. The volume range is larger than I thought and at max is quite loud. I like how it has a level for the needle so you don’t need to lift the needle yourself and scratch your vinyl. RCA Output: Want to grow the party to speakers that do not have Bluetooth, no problem! We’ve got you covered with the RCA output. Bluetooth / Built-in speakers mean all you need to do is add vinyl. Straight out of the box this turntable is ready to add the sound to any of your vinyl.RCA Output– Want to grow the party to speakers that do not have Bluetooth, no problem! We’ve got you covered with the RCA output. This Jam Sound HX-TTP200WDA-GB Belt Drive Turntable will bring you that nostalgic sound of old vinyl you’ve been missing so much.Built-in speakers make this turntable a very handy compact choice. It’s complemented by its classic, minimal wooden design that will not disappoint any living space. Pull out the full collection! The three-speed options let you play singles, LPs or old pre-50s pieces, so you’re sorted with all your vinyl. More useful, you can also set four favourites. These are accessed using the “favourite” button on the top panel. They might be radio stations, Tidal albums or Tidal playlists. You can’t use them for Spotify albums or playlists, though, because Spotify isn’t fully integrated into the app. RCA Output / Want to grow the party to speakers that do not have Bluetooth, no problem!

You can rest the Jam Rhythm on its side, or sit it upright – there are discreet rubbery feet on two sides to stop it from slipping. The logo on the front turns swivels to ensure it’s the correct way up to match the speaker’s placement. You can alter the sound output to suit: upright mode switches to mono, while the Rhythm plays a stereo feed on its side. There are a couple of special features, too. You can turn the Jam Rhythm into an intercom, speaking into the app through your phone and out of the speaker. Party MC, perhaps? The only issue I would have is the louder volumes can be a bit tinny and have the standard static noise, however, this only happens at the louder settings and lower volume this isn’t an issue. If this issue affects you can plug in external speakers via the RCA output so you can get better sound at louder volumes which is great. Bluetooth– Built-in Bluetooth® capability for easy pairing with your favorite JAM speaker. So you can grow the party and amplify the sound, with a range of up to 30-ft/10-m you can seamlessly connect to any Bluetooth compatible speaker.

The sound reproduction is clear, clean and naturally warm sounding. There is good instrument separation between the left and right channels, thanks to the location of the built-in speakers - 30cm apart. The JAM Sound Stream+ Turntable is a belt drive turntable so, the motor that rotates the platter is driven by a belt, which creates far less noise vibration than a direct drive turntable. On the downside, belt driven turntables aren't as durable because the belt will have to be replaced at some point; whereas with a direct drive turntable you don't because there is no belt - the platter is directly attached to the motor; hence the name "direct drive". Getting wirelessly stereo-paired speakers to play together without perceptible delay is one of the main multiroom technical challenges. The Jam Rhythm does handle this, but you can actually hear it stumbling over the sync at the start of every streaming session. For the first second or so it’s as if the speakers are wildly out-of-sync before eventually lining up in what is the sound equivalent of the speaker tripping up on its laces.

We didn’t find the Jam Classic to be the most captivating of performers, noting that if your aim was to boost the audio of your smartphone, “the JAM Classic 2.0 does enough. Just.” Three stars was our indifferent verdict. Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. To fill a room you might also want to consider getting hold of two Jam Rhythm speakers, since the sound sweet spot is a little narrower than some. The Jam Rhythm is a dinky wireless speaker. There’s no shortage of rivals in this class; top alternatives include the Sonos and the less impressive Bose SoundTouch 10.Does it matter? The Jam Rhythm isn’t a speaker designed to be the focal point of your lounge; it’s a speaker for which you might consider unseating a few Bill Bryson books on your bookshelf. It’s small and it will blend in. It isn’t beautiful, but nor is it ugly. Small and cheap Spotify Connect speakers that we’ve reviewed over the past year or so have almost universally sounded quite poor. Here, we were pleasantly surprised.
