Bose SoundLink II review

Portable wireless speakers are understandably popular. They're convenient as they can be used anywhere and, since they're wireless, you can keep hold of your smartphone or tablet and control the playlist using its screen.

The SoundLink II isn't cheap, but it delivers well above average quality. We like the built-in cover and stand, but it's a shame it there's no speakerphone capabilities.

Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Mobile Speaker II

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.

Compact, portable design. Smooth, balanced sound. Doesn't distort on deep-bass tracks at top volume. Easy setup process. Clever cover design doubles as a power switch and a stand.

Expensive. Song beginnings sometimes get clipped. Not for audio purists.

Performance and Conclusions Underneath the speaker grille, the SoundLink II features new neodymium drivers and revised digital signal processing circuitry. That's in addition to the original model's dual-opposing passive radiators. The SoundLink II...
