Bose's $350 SoundLink Air Digital Music System , an AirPlay version of the company's venerable SoundDock speaker docks, is a somewhat portable speaker system. I say "somewhat" because though it can be powered by a battery, the SoundLink Air doesn't include one-Bose's rechargeable lithium-ion battery...

Easy setup; Good audio quality

Rechargeable battery not included; Bass distortion at top volume

bought the product 2 weeks ago, and I must say of all the bootooth devices this is to most frustrating experiace! no other device is so challanging to re-connect, every time is a struggle! the support side is utterly useless (make sure it;s switched on / REALLY . .

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Attractive Design; Crisp Sound; Easy To Connect; Great Sound Quality

The Bose Soundlink is most definatly one of the most highest end speakers. Costing £249/£299 depending which cover you get. It weighs in at a hefty 1.5kg and the dimenions are: 130 x 245 x 50 mm wich makes it pretty big.

Weight

Love or hate Bose, the manufacturer has built quite a little empire around its Wave Music System. Maybe it's the convenience of good sound in a small package. Maybe it's the little kiosks at the airport.

Good sound quality; flexible design

Insane price; USB sticks out; only provides volume control for PC sources

I had problems connecting this to my WiFi network and after a long telephone conversation with Bose customer support I was finally told that the speaker does not work with 802.11n networks (which is what Virgin Media fibre optic provides).

This speaker is absolutely outstanding!!! Compact so great for travelling and the sound in incredible. In my experience, all Bose products are top notch!!!

High-end speaker harbinger Bose, has recently released a much more compact and portable version of its successful $300 SoundLink wireless speaker appropriately named the SoundLink Mini .

When it comes to portable speakers for use on the go, there are a ton of products out there. The options available are relatively cheap, affordable and also offer a reasonably high quality of audio and performance. However, fewer options out there really push the boundary.

The Bose SoundLink Mini continues Bose's line of excellent Bluetooth speakers, this time in a smaller form and with a more affordable price tag.
