I.SOUND Twist Speaker Bluetooth Speaker and Speakerphone Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

Linus Tech Tips dives into the I.SOUND Twist Bluetooth Speaker with a hands-on unboxing and first look, comparing it to the Jam Box and highlighting its form, controls, and key features. The host begins by noting the Twist is a more affordable option that doubles as a speakerphone, with two built-in speakers and a passive sub, plus an auxiliary input for wired devices. He walks through the unboxing sequence, describing the packaging, the device orientation, and the practical design cues that prevent rolling, such as the stabilization feet. The setup is quick, with a rapid Bluetooth pairing process that works even for someone new to wireless audio, and the on-device controls are demonstrated for play, pause, volume, and call handling. The testers compare the Twist against the Jam Box in terms of loudness, clarity, and bass punch, acknowledging the Twist’s shorter battery life but better per-minute value due to its lower price. They discuss size implications, noting the Twist is physically larger than the Jam Box and thus trades portability for stronger sound. In final assessment, the Twist delivers solid sound quality and convenient charging via micro USB, but it falls short on battery life and compactness, leaving room for a jam box-like tradeoff depending on budget and use case. The video ends with a closing recap and a tease for more Linus Tech Tips unboxings and reviews, inviting viewers to subscribe for future content.
