"  There are lots of ways to listen to music, but Jawbone has just made it a little more social. Starting today via a new a firmware update, users will now be able to pair two Mini Jamboxes, creating what the company is calling &amp;quot;Multi Play.&amp;quot; When paired, the speakers will play in unison or in L/R stereo options. The free update will be available today at jawbone.com. In the office, we received early access to the update and paired two of our speakers to test the connection. The ability to pair two like Bluetooth speakers isn&amp;#039;t a new idea\u2014for example, Logitech UE&amp;#039;s Mini Boom speakers have had that feature for awhile. But as we mentioned then, setting up the Mini Boom can be a headache.  By contrast, after a few tests we found the Mini Jambox&amp;#039;s sync function to be incredibly easy. Just hold down all three buttons at once and the device will start searching for a nearby Mini Jambox. Once the speakers are synced, users can control the paired setup with two devices, can either one can switch between songs. If one person selects a song, the current song is interrupted and the new track plays through both speakers (with only a second or two delay between the first speaker beginning the song and the second speaker joining in). Although this is to help promote social music sharing, within only a few minutes our office musical cohabitation degenerated into an epic streaming fight, so I guess experience may vary. In addition to the new pairing feature, the firmware update also bakes in binaural audio with LiveAudio, a complicated recording process that places L/R audio around you in space for a more immersive listening experience. All this is well and good, but if you don&amp;#039;t have two Mini Jamboxes or at least a friend close by with similar tastes in bluetooth speaker tech, then this update isn&amp;#039;t too exciting. However, if you&amp;#039;re in the market for bluetooth stereo, now&amp;#039;s your chance. For a limited time, Jawbone is offering up the Mini Jambox speaker for just $130, a $50 discount. It&amp;#039;s little more expensive than some other options out there, but with frequent firmware updates and great sound quality (especially at high volume), there are worse investments to be made.
