BLUETOOTH SPEAKER REVIEW – BOSE SOUNDLINK MINI II

If you’re in the market for higher quality mobile Bluetooth speaker, the Bose SoundLink Mini II is one of the best for the price.  At about $200 this impressive speaker is a great value. The Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Speaker II is a powered wireless Bluetooth speaker designed for mobility and delivers excellent sound quality.  

Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Speaker II (Carbon)

Full disclosure – I’m a long-term Bose fan.

I believe they build high-quality, reasonably priced products that are a huge value.

I am by no means an audiophile, I enjoy good music but I’m not going to spend $20 grand on stereo equipment.  I’ve owned Bose products for years.

This review is short and sweet, you really cannot go wrong with Bose.

Features:
The SoundLink Mini II weighs in at 1.5 pounds and looks beautiful.  Features include:

Built-in microphone (speakerphone)
10 hour battery life
USB cable charger
Charging cradle
This model is second generation based on the highly successful SoundLink Mini (2013).

Standard USB cable charging is a huge and welcome improvement, which means one less proprietary AC adapter to get tangled around all the others.

The charging cradle can be used as a dock for home use.

Paring with a phone or tablet is a snap with voice guidance.  You can pair two devices at the same time, switch music sources or use one as a music source and the other for phone calls.  The speaker can remember up to 8 devices.

Sound quality:
If you haven’t tried a mini you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the big sound from the small package.  This speaker is ideal for single rooms (kitchen, bedroom, dorm), or a corner of a larger room.

Recommendation?
It’s hard to go wrong with the SoundLink II at $200.  Bose also makes a larger SoundLink III ($300) and SoundLink Color ($129).

The features and performance of the Mini II makes it one of the best overall portable Bluetooth speakers on the market.
