DNP Jawbone Big Jambox review

It was back in February when we first caught a glimpse of a beefier version of Jawbone's Jambox, thanks to some less-than-stealthy ninjas at the FCC. Today it's officially here. Dubbed Big Jambox, this $300 Bluetooth speakerphone and "smartspeaker" is unsurprisingly a supersized -- yet still portable -- version of the fistable new-age ghetto-blaster that the company first introduced in 2010. Naturally, there have been some tweaks to go along with the bigger footprint, but all the core functionalities including Jawbone's MyTalk apps and noise-canceling microphone know-how are in tow. It leaves us ready to answer a few questions now that we've used it extensively for a few days. Does it follow the old adage that bigger is better? How will it fit into your lifestyle compared to the Jambox? And most importantly, is it worth the asking price?
