Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile speaker

Well built, small and powerful, so why doesn't the new Bose SoundLink Mobile Speaker quite work?

Excellent Build Quality ; Classic design ; Good sound quality for the size

Too large to travel, too weak for the home ; Premium pricing

Styling is retro and angular with Bose's distinct silver grill and build quality is typically excellent. The large controls (power, auxiliary source, Bluetooth source [hold to pair], mute and volume up and down) eschew the trend for touch sensitive...

Bose, create a ground-breaking product? Sure, the company's got some really nice headphones and decent sound systems that are just a tad overpriced. But Bose? Since when does Bose make a game-changer?

Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speaker

The portable Bluetooth-powered Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speaker features more powerful audio than you?d expect from its small, well-designed frame, and it integrates a cool cover that doubles as a stand.

Strong audio performance. Portable and built with sturdy materials. Clever design uses protective cover as a stand when speaker is in use. Can wirelessly stream music from virtually any compatible Bluetooth device?not just iPhones, iPods, and iPads.

Expensive for a portable speaker system. Song beginnings get clipped when skipping or un-pausing. Not for audiophiles.

Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speaker Review

When it comes to portable speakers for use on the go, there are a ton of products out there.

For common users who're looking for something neat, easy to lug around even in their knapsack, and of course for those with a rather large bank balance, the Bose SoundLink Mobile Speaker is quite a good bargain.
