IMO it seems like they just lacked focus and abandoned their core competency to follow trends in markets where they couldn't compete. They started out as a military contractor and pivoted that tech into fantastic bluetooth headsets. From there they went on to make great bluetooth speakers.
At some point they acquired a medical devices company and hopped on the fitness tracker bandwagon, it's that point they seemed to have lost their way. After a string of crappy fitness trackers, and completely ignoring their headsets and speakers, they failed.

- thebiglebrewski 9y agoI completely agree with you. Their bluetooth products were amazing and so well designed with great UX! If they had just stuck with those and continued...the possibilities were endless. Spotify integration out of the box like with Amazon Echo? Whole-house audio solutions? You name it. The Jambox and mini jambox are still the best and only bluetooth based speakers that I own.
