Bose® SoundLink® Bluetooth Mobile Speaker II - Leather
Customer Reviews:* I own several similar audio products, a couple of which might be considered "high end", including a Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin. I have never owned a Bose product other than a Soundlink.The Soundlink II is a mobile speaker. It can play music from Bluetooth sources, and has a 3.5mm port as well. It has no actual docking station other than the 3.5mm port. It is not WiFi-capable, so it cannot be connected to a wireless network. Bose provides a 1 year warranty.The sound on the Soundlink II is astounding. At about 9" x 5" x 2", It is not much larger than a paperback book. But it packs a lot of sound. The volume is great, and the sound clarity is consistent throughout the range of volume.I listen to a variety of music on the Soundlink originating from iPad, iPods, and Blackberries. The highs are great and very clear, midranges are crisp, and the bass is powerful and booming. I don't know that I notice any difference in sound quality over the original model, although Bose advertises the sound as improved. Frankly, I don't know how far you can improve on `incredible.'So what is in the box?* The Soundlink II.* AC adapter/charger.* 3.5mm cable.* Instruction manual.The design is sleek all the way around. There are a total of six buttons, all on top, and all with lighted icons. These are: Power, Aux, Bluetooth, Mute, and Volume Up and Volume Down.The Soundlink II pairs easily. Simply hold down the Bluetooth button for a second and confirm the pairing on your wireless device. That's it - you're connected and ready to play your music! You can pair up to six devices in the Soundlink's memory. For devices you need to connect without BlueTooth, just plug in the device with the included 3.5mm cable and press the Aux button. I use my iPod that way.Volume can be controlled by the Soundlink Volume buttons or through your paired device's volume controls.On the surface, the Soundlink II appears to be pretty much the same as its predecessor, Bose's Soundlink product. One notable difference is the design for the built-in cover. The new cover folds in its middle (bi-fold) so you can fold it to just about the same width as the Soundlink bottom and use it as a rest. This is an improvement to you if you place the Soundlink on narrow surfaces.The built-in cover is available in leather as an option, as opposed to nylon. It is also available in several colors.The wireless range is excellent. I'm sure it depends on the structure you are in and other variables such as other interference and battery charge. But I have stayed connected from 40 feet away, while I was in my yard and the Soundlink was on my deck plugged into an outlet. The Soundlink is great for use inside or outside, to take to parties, or a park, etc. It IS NOT waterproof so treat it as you would any other fine electronic product.The rechargeable lithium-ion battery is rated for 8 hours. Bose says at maximum volume the battery will last for 3 hours. I have used it for much longer, like 12 hours (not straight, but total) without a charge before it shut off. If you hold down the Power button, the battery icon changes color to provide battery status: green 70-100%, amber 20-70%, and red, less than 20%. When plugged in to charge, the battery icon will light up amber and remain that way while charging, when it will shut off.This is an incredible mobile speaker. It is well worth the price. I would highly recommend it for someone who wants a high quality sounds system that is also mobile. * Ordered this on March 2 and received on March 4 using my "prime" membership with free 2 day shipping.Astetics and workmanship is excellent with no noticable flaws or scratches. Cover is easy to fold under and holds the speaker solid on a table top surface with no issues with tipping over. Feels comfortable to carry, similar to carrying a medium size text book.Manual and setup is very user friendly. Connected my Iphone 4, Ipad and Ipod touch. All devices paired first try and it took less than 5 minutes to pair all three devices. The bluetooth range: We have a 3000 SQ. ft. home and with the speaker in a far corner room, I can stay attached anywhere in the house, including upstairs in the opposite corner, using my Iphone. I have not tested the battery life, however, have used for 3+ hours without running the battery down. Bose states at full volume you should get approx. 3 hrs. which I believe is accurate.Sound: I am definately not a "Audio Geek" nor are my ears sensitive enough to notice the subtle differences in performance. The sound out of this speaker exceeds all my expectations in terms of sound quality and volume. By purchasing a Equalizer App for 99 cents, I can easily adjust the speaker ranges just like on my stereo system from my Iphone or Ipad. No need for a remote as you can adjust volume, change songs etc. from your phone or tablet device. It just doesn't get much easier.Why I buy Bose: Just recently, my wife had accidentally broke my Bose noise reduction headset trying to put it in the case by bending the ear cups the wrong way. I use these a lot for travel and over the past 8 yrs. had loged more than 30 international trips and too numerous domestic flights to count using this head set. So, after 8 yrs. of heavy use, I was not disappointed they broke.I called Bose Service department to see if there was a spare yolk that the user could replace. Unfortunately they were not repairable. Bose, however offered me a replacement unit of the latest model, Brand new (not refurbished) for 1/3 the cost of new purchase. I thought this was a great deal and immediately returned the old and received the new pair. Note, the service department at Bose answered the phone with no wait, person on the line spoke perfect English ( with a bit of Boston accent lol) and was very helpful. This is why I Pay a little extra for Bose. Oh, by the way, this speaker is not made in China. It is made in Mexico.
