As such, it’s more likely to find favour in a smaller bedroom or kitchen than a living room; view it as an addition to your speaker options. But it is not the ultimate solution.

We’re happy to debate the phrase ‘room-filling sound’ (when was the last time you actually couldn’t hear even the smallest speaker when standing at the far end of your living room?) but what we have here is more like room occupying sound. And prepare yourself for slightly brash-sounding handclaps – especially when you boost the volume – along with a splashy edge to cymbal crashes. Nevertheless, for its money and for its size this speaker makes a decent fist of sonics. What Hi-Fi?, founded in 1976, is the world's leading independent guide to buying and owning hi-fi and home entertainment products. Our comprehensive tests help you buy the very best for your money, with our advice sections giving you step-by-step information on how to get even more from your music and movies. Everything is tested by our dedicated team of in-house reviewers in our custom-built test rooms in London, Reading and Bath. Our coveted five-star rating and Awards are recognised all over the world as the ultimate seal of approval, so you can buy with absolute confidence. The feature list, as you may guess given its teeny dimensions, is pretty short. An aux-in compliments the Bluetooth ability and – according to the web – offers up to 12 hours replay, compared with five hours max from a wireless connection. We have no issues with build quality. A fun-looking fellow, it’s well put-together, available in three colours, and feels as though it could cope with the odd accidental drop on to something not too hard.

You can have some fun, though, trying to squeeze more volume from the Classic 2.0. Experiment with the surfaces you place it on and compare results with it, say, sitting on a table versus nestling into an alcove. For it’s price the JAM 2.0 Classic is a dinky way to improve upon the performance of the speaker systems in phones and tablets.

The svelte chassis does include LED lights to let you know where you stand – flashing blue for pairing, flashing red for low battery and, according to the manual, grey for ‘ready to party’.
