The well-designed Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Mobile Speaker II is a modest evolution of the first version that sounds even better than the original model. It contains just enough improvements to keep it at the top of the heap for portable wireless Bluetooth speakers.

If you're prepared to pay a little more for a wireless speaker, this is the one for you. It's not as portable as the others, but it'll knock the others into a cocked hat in terms of sound. And like the others, it has a range of 10m.

Ok, I really hate to admit this, but I actually bought this without hearing it. I was looking for a smaller portable solution and just happened to go to Bose's web site and saw this. I have several Bose products and have always been happy with them. So I decided to order one.

Sounda Quality; size; durability

A little pricey; but well worth it

Bose products may have their detractors in audiophile circles, but there are many things the company does right, and some things that the company does brilliantly. The original Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Mobile Speaker is the perfect example of the latter.

Compact; portable design; Smooth; balanced sound; Doesn't distort on deep bass tracks

Expensive; The start of songs sometimes get clipped; Not for audio purists

Most portable speakers trade off sound quality for size and weight. Not the SoundLink II. It may be on the expensive side, but if you want big-speaker sound, make sure you read our Bose SoundLink II review.

A high-end audio solution to truly get the best out of your digital music collection

Peerless sound quality; instant plug-and-play setup

Very expensive

I received some shopping vouchers from an employer as an unexpected thank you and I've spent quite some time thinking of a frivolous item to buy with them. Just after Christmas while in Manchester's Selfridges I spotted just the item; the Bose Soundlink Mobile, a rather posh music speaker retailing...

Easy to use; well made and a good sound

A little heavy and of course at Bose prices

Really like the sound I get from this - it fills the room. It was very easy to use. I downloaded the free app for my phone, and the speaker did the rest. When I switch it on it searches for my connection which it finds immediately and also lets me know the battery life left. Very pleased.

I have bought too many little speakers for travel. I have never been satisfied with the output. Small size is an obvious challenge. This gadget is great. The sound is full and clear relative to anything I have heard in this size, and loud enough to annoy the neighbors.

great sound for the size; easy connectivity.

a little heavy

Picked up Bose SoundLink Air yesterday and it was a breeze to set up. No problems at all. Linked it to our Mac and iPhone. Amazing sound, would highly recommend it.
