I have one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Harman-Kardon...=1-1&keywords=harmon+kardon+bluetooth+speaker
Harmon Kardon Onyx Studio with the rechargeable battery. It's sort of expensive, but it is by far the best sounding speaker I've ever had. It goes quite loud without any distortion, and sounds so nice compared to most everything else I've tried.
Downsides are no line in (aux) input, so it's bluetooth only, and only lasts about 5 hours on a charge. This is definitely my favorite speaker by far though, and well worth the $199 IMO.

I have too many Bluetooth speakers. Everything from the Logitech Mini-Boom to a Peachtree Deepblue2.
For short business trips my favorite BT speaker is the Denon Envaya Mini DSB100. It's really amazing for the size how good this speaker sounds.
For longer term engagements, I bring my Denon Envaya DSB200. If I'm going to be working in a city for 6 months I bring my Peachtree and leave it at the hotel.
I used to think my Bose Soundlink Mini sounded good, but it no where as good as the Envaya Mini.
clavinetjunkie has a number of youtube videos that has comparisions between different BT speakers.

What I really ant to know is which of these Bluetooth speaker can REMEMBER multiple devices.
More often than not, ONE Bluetooth speaker will be used by 2 or more devices, like iPhone and iPad. If the Bluetooth speaker does not have a memory function, you will have to go through the pairing setup again every time you switch device.
The Bose Soundlink have a memory feature and it will remember up to 6 devices. It's expensive, but I tried pairing it with my MacBook Pro, Windows 7, iPad and iPhone and it works. When I am on my desk, it connect to my MacBook Pro. When I am away from my MacBook, it connects to my iPhone (or iPad if I am playing games).

I do not have experience with the speakers mentioned in your post. I have had Jawbone Big Jambox and can say that it had pretty good sound and friendly user interface. However, it wasn't worth the price it cost at that time.
Currently I'm using Bose Soundlink Color and am very happy with it. Sound is alright and dialogue is very clear when I use it for watching TV Shows. Music sound quality is satisfactory as well. What I like most in this speaker is that it is pretty sturdy and very portable. You won't get very strong bass out of an unit of this size, but I doubt the speaker would disappoint anyone with realistic expectations. Using the speaker is very easy and you can pair 2 bluetooth devices at once and it has 3.5mm input as well. I have not measured exactly how long the battery lasts, but it seems to last very long. I would expect you to get at least 6 hour of movie audio with a single charge even with high volumes.

One of the biggest questions we get asked when talking to folks about Bluetooth speakers is: How do I pick out the best one? The answer is to set your budget, figure out a list of must-have features and then shop within those constraints.

I have the following in our household:
JBL Charge
Bose Soundlink (big one)
Bose mini
Bose Micro
Bose Revolve
Everyone of them are great and have no issues with any of them (Knock on wood)

Come on, you gotta have ONE you prefer, like better, easier to use, sounds better. You have to have one out of the bunch.
