This is the best bluetooth speaker I have heard. Bose have got this one right,. Bass is excellent for it's size rather than the sometimes bloated and bass heavy sound that characterise Bose speakers.

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

Bose has produced a number of portable speaker systems in the past, but the SoundLink Mini marks the first time it intends to compete on both size and price. Designed for devices like smartphones and tablets, the SoundLink Mini is one of the best sounding portable Bluetooth speakers on the market...

Excellent; compact design; Good sound quality; Included charging dock

Doesn't charge via micro-USB; Aluminium finish prone to light scratches; Accessories are expensive

Just wanted a decent speaker for my new iPhone. This Bose speaker is awesome in sound alone. Requires mains plug in, although rechargeable battery can be purchased as considerable extra cost.

Sounds good.

Great sound

Extra cost of a rechargable battery

Today

Stylish, with plenty of bass, but more expensive than more capable alternatives

Portable speakers are known for being portable first, and sounding great...well, almost never. Bose is aiming to change that perception with the SoundLink Mini, a diminutive 1.5-pound speaker that connects to any device via Bluetooth.

Sturdy build quality; Rechargeable battery; Extremely portable; Pairs with up to six devices at the same time

No speakerphone support; Doesn't charge via USB

I really enjoy this product overall but found that as other reviewers mentioned, it has a tendency to want to sync with the last device used instead...

Flexable and can be used in different scenarios

Syncing with device can be cumbersome at times

This would have been a wonderful 50th birthday present for my partner - if it had worked. But, having just opened it and tried to set it up, we are profoundly disappointed; and it has put a real dent on the birthday celebrations.
