I absolutely love my birthday present to me... The clarity of sound is amazing, something you would expect anyway from Bose. When I first saw it I thought it would not be powerful enough for what I wanted it for.. how wrong was I. This will not disappoint.

This little device is much more heavy than one would think by looking at it. But, the extra weight must be how they get the awesome sound and deep bass! It is our go-to speaker for jamming around the house and the Bluetooth makes it compatible with iOS and Android devices!

Shopped around and read reviews and have decided the Bose Soundlink III was the best buy at $269, I am not disappointed. Sound is everything and this soundlink delivers deep warm music through out any large size living area or outside as well. Bought some cheaper unites but took them back.

I bought one of these babies on Memorial Day with the intent of putting it in my spa. But first, I took it with me to the beach. It made the entire vacation better...we even took it in the golf cart. When I got home a week later, I reluctantly followed through on my plans to put it in the spa..

Good overall sound, with some limitations. Both professional testers and owners say the SoundLink III produces room-filling sound, with plenty of bass. Professional reviewers note that Bose has "tweaked" the sound signature slightly from previous versions, tilting it more toward the low end.

Excellent sound quality; Long battery life; Easy Bluetooth pairing; Attractive design

The speaker is pricey and has no speakerphone capabilities; requires dedicated AC adapter for charging (doesn't charge via Micro-USB)

The SoundLink line of portable wireless speakers keeps improving in sound quality with each iteration. The line does, however, face a Bluetooth speaker market that has grown increasingly crowded with models boasting extras, such as mobile device charging and speakerphones.
