Length:: 7:58 Mins UPDATE: Jul 28, 2013 - I've just reviewed the BoseSoundlink Mini and it has surprisingly good sound, I actually prefer the sound of the Mini to the SoundLink and SoundLink II. Both the SoundLink and SoundLink II can produce louder sound and both have more bass.

This is something of a departure for Bose . It has previously produced speaker docks – and indeed incorporated Bluetooth technology into some of its products – but strictly speaker this isn't a 'dock' at all.
