Bose® SoundLink® Bluetooth Mobile Speaker II - Nylon

Customer Reviews:* I have literally been shopping for a portable speaker for years. As much as we try to be realistic in understanding that a small portable unit won't provide the big sound of a full system, you can't help but wish that somehow, somewhere, physics can be defied to give you something decent in a small portable package.The Soundlink 2 doesn't defy physics, but it's pretty darned good. The portability of this unit continues to grow and amaze. It's so light and easy, I find myself moving it from bedroom night stand to garage, living room, kitchen, and elsewhere without a second thought.But to be perfectly honest, my initial impression was NOT 5 stars....more like 3.5. While decent at in store demo listening volumes, the Soundlink 2 automatically reduces bass if you crank it up further. For someone like me who loves to listen to Top 40s, it was a disappointment not to be able to go louder. However, when switching genres, playing songs like Andrea Bocelli's Time to Say Goodbye (where bass wasn't a req), the vocals really came out great with little distortion. So why 5 stars now? Simply because in the 2 months of owning the Soundlink 2, I found I really didn't need or want to go that loud :) Keep in mind that I currently own a 5.1 Lifestyle system, so my purpose for purchasing this as a bedroom night stand speaker may be different than yours.A Tip: If you want more booming bass, position the Soundlink 2 about 1 to 1.5 ft from a wall, even better close to a corner where 2 walls meet to amplify the bass reflection. If you want less, set the unit in a more open area. It's so light and portable, you can experiment with ease to find your perfect location.It's kind of funny cuz right as I typed the above tip, my iPod shuffled to a song with great lows, and I turned my head in amazement (again) at the deep bass coming out of the unit. Coming out of this small package?!? For real! * Just picked up the Soundlink II at the Bose store. I had recently bought the first soundlink and thought if this one is better I will just return the older version. After listening to the first one for about a week and then hearing the new one, you can tell there is a slight adjustment to the bass and the overall sound it produces. I would describe it to be more natural sounding and more accurate low end/bass notes. After listening to other BT speakers (altec, jawbone, jabra, etc.) the soundlink can produce better performance/loudness in its overall sound. If you want something small and 50% of the sound then you should stick with something cheaper such as the solemate, monster clarityhd, or small jambox.I notice how there many positive reviews on the Soundlink II and many people saying it wasn't a very helpful comment - (ex. 0/5 people found this comment helpful). Hmmm interesting.. bose haters?? lol. I have many other speakers including Klipsch 2.1 prodmedia, logitech 5.1 system pc speakers, and the energy take classic 5.1. so I know a little bit about sound.The sound that comes out of these speakers is outstanding considering its a wireless BT speaker small in size. Go check it out in the bose store or best buy and see for yourself. Bose does have a certain sound not fit for everyone including audiophiles but if you can name 2 other BT speakers in this price range with better sound I will be shocked. And please dont say the jawbone jambox.. its a toy compared to the soundlink.
