- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2016Color: CarbonStyle: SoundLink Mini IIVerified PurchaseLet me start off by saying that I am both a tech junkie and music lover. Sorry, no audio industry experience or sound engineer degrees to tout here, I'm just a guy who likes music and stereos. Everything from HiFi systems to desktop speakers to PA gear to little bluetooth speakers like this Bose Soundlink Mini II.
Here's what we need to clear off the plate before we get started. This is a $200 speaker designed to be portable, and should be treated as such. There are critical reviews in here that are pegging this speaker next to sound systems that do not even serve the same purpose as the Bose SoundLink Mini II. I have a few other systems to serve other purposes in my life: a Bower & Wilkins + McIntosh stereo system, KRK Rokit Monitors, just to name the two most enjoyed setups I have.
But here's the thing. I needed something portable. Sleek. Reliable. Something I could carry around my apartment from my bedroom to my kitchen to my bathroom. And that same speaker needed to have the ability to be thrown into my backpack when I go to my girlfriend's house or off to a friend's place for the weekend. I looked at other speakers, such as the Beats Pill and UE Boom. Which did I like best? The Bose SoundLink Mini II. I'm not a Bose fan, it's just not in my pedigree. I had a few products from Bose in the past and simply wasn't impressed by the hype (Bose 3-2-1, the original noise cancelling headphones, Bose 802 Series II PA/DJ speakers).
The SoundLink Mini II has since removed my brand bias. It's simply amazing. And to make a long story short, I love it. My roommate had the previous generation SoundLink Mini and I enjoyed connecting my iPhone to it when we had social gatherings in our old loft apartment. Back then it filled the living room with more than enough sound with 10 people in the room to converse over. I have since moved to a smaller apartment, but needed something I could listen to in all rooms of my current living space- something I could not do with my KRK Rokit 5 setup which I would connect to via AirPlay.
This little speaker provides great sound, albeit a bit too bassy for my taste. Solution: I set the Spotify EQ to "Bass Reduction" and the output is just where I want it to be. I listen to all genres of music, but 70% of the time focus my attention on electronic, Top40, and Hip Hop, and this speaker does just the thing for me. The added convenience of a Micro USB charging port as well as dual bluetooth connection makes using this speaker so much easier than the last version. Happy to see Bose listened to the critics before releasing their second revision of the speaker.
I have had this speaker for a mere 4 days and am very happy with it. I purchased the OEM Bose rubber bumper case for it, as well as a third party soft case, and now I'm ready to bring this where ever I need to go. It's the perfect tool for a city dweller on the run like myself, but this is easily at home on any kitchen countertop or office desk.
Don't hesitate to purchase this- the other speakers in its class (key point when comparing this speaker) simply cannot compete with the Bose. Sure, you can buy the cheaper UE Boom 2, but it's also cheaper in build quality and aesthetics. Leave the UE Boom for college freshman. For those of us who have matured a bit and enjoy both elegant design language and good sound quality out of such a small, portable unit, go for the Bose. You absolutely will not regret it! Happy listening, Eric.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2016Color: PearlStyle: SoundLink Mini IIVerified PurchaseI want to come at this with a clear, "I'm not paid, I didn't receive this thing free, I have no agenda other than praising very, very good products". I'm sort of a "prosumer" audiophile. I built speakers from scratch (including designing and building crossover circuits) when I was in high school. I have bought and thoroughly tested dozens of powered bluetooth speakers, only keeping the ones that produce truly good, enjoyable sound. About a dozen of the best-of-the-best are strewn about the house. I've returned speakers from Cambridge, JBL, Klipsch, Harmon Kardon, that just failed to perform. The ones I keep make great sound, albeit with slightly different trims, emphasis, sound stage, depth.
I lump them into three categories: ultra-portable, portable, and stationary. Ultra-portables are the kind you can slide into a bookbag for a day at the park, or small luggage for a business trip. Portables can be carried but are their own "piece of luggage". Stationary ones are... exactly that.
There are several VERY good stationary speakers - Bose SoundTouch, Aiwa Exos 9, Marshall Woburn, the excellent Cambridge Air Minx 200, and my personal heavyweight champ, the Polk Woodbourne. There are also several VERY good portables. The ones I kept and use weekly if not daily are the Bang & Olufsen Beolit 15, the Marshall Kilburn, and hands-down the single best-sounding single-cabinet powered bluetooth speaker ever made as far as I can tell, the astounding and unsinkable Klipsch KMC-3.
In the ultra-portable space... not so much.
I've tried and returned due to severe lack of performance, the Klipsch Groove, Cambridge OontZ Angle 3XL and Riva Turbo X. The only ultra-portable speaker I've tried - which I do own but don't use very often - is the Sony SRS-X5 (succeeded by the SRS-X55), which does a very good job, very comparable to the SoundLink Mini but a bit bigger and, after a refresher head-to-head test just yesterday - can't reproduce bass notes that the SoundLink Mini can hit.
This speaker is pretty, solid, and the sound it produces is the kind where an unsuspecting subject will have a jaw-drop response, and you will inevitably say, "Yes, that sound is coming out of that little thing." It is tailored to optimal performance at moderate listening volumes in mid-sized rooms, but does well in the full expanse of use cases, even producing great bass, sparkling treble and terrific soundstage out on the driveway when working on the car. As far as I can tell, the market has completely failed to reproduce the sound quality this unit is capable of, at any price, without a much larger cabinet.
The all-time best wireless powered speaker ever made is still very clearly the Klipsch KMC-3. I'm not sure we will ever get to enjoy one better than that. I love my KMC-3 so much that I bought a backup to put on the shelf for the day the first one dies - given that I use it exclusively outdoors - and occasionally, sadly, I forget to put it away overnight, so it ends up in the dew or rain now and again. Yes, I'm an idiot. That's why I bought a backup. But there are only two other speakers good enough that I bought seconds: the Polk Woodbourne, a very sexy, attractive, sleek and spectacularly big-sounding stationary speaker, and the Soundlink Mini. I bought the Mini II as my travel mate for business trips because my wife uses the original SoundLink Mini so often.
My advice as someone who has spent (wasted) way too much time and way too much money trying to find the absolute best, is, 1) buy yourself a Klipsch KMC-3 before new-old-stock runs out, you simply must, you can't not; and 2) for sleek, awesome design and top-shelf sound quality out of an itty bitty speaker, this - the Bose SoundLink Mini - is the final word. Nobody has matched or surpassed it, for any price. The Bose wins. It doesn't matter whether the one you're considering costs $100 or $500. This one is better, and realistically, your only option for the Best of the Best.
Happy listening!

John MolinaReviewed in Mexico on December 15, 2016
5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente sonido en tan pequeño aparato
Color: PearlStyle: SoundLink Mini IIVerified PurchaseMuy satisfecho con la compra, es un speaker que emana bajos profundos y potentes así como un equilibrio entre medios y agudos que armonizan en conjunto. La claridad y fidelidad del sonido en general es excelente, inclusive en volumen muy bajo se escucha de maravilla. Hace 3 semanas que lo he probado con todos los estilos de metal de mi repertorio y no me ha defraudado en lo absoluto, inclusive el Black metal que escucho en un 95% que podría tener aveces sonidos muy ásperos y fríos suenan bien acomodados. Otra cosa que me gustó de éste speaker es la portabilidad, ya que puedo colocarlo en diferentes puntos de mi casa sin estorbar y de peso, por los materiales que está construido (terminaciones en metal) no es tan libiano para su tamaño pero eso da la sensación de ser un producto de calidad. La duración de la batería es en promedio de 10 horas en volumen bajo y medio. Es de fácil conexión con los dispositivos móviles sea Android o IOS y con excelente pareaje, lo que me sorprendió fue que no hay interferencia al mover el móvil o si pronto me muevo entre cuartos. Este speaker da la portunidad de poder realizar alguna actividad que no requiera de distracción por ruido como leer o trabajar. Recomendado para utilizarlo durante la noche antes de dormir cuando el sonido de la calle o de los vecinos disminuye y no quieres ser una molestia ya que con su calidad de sonido a volumen bajo no necesitarás más. Cabe aclarar que no es un aparato diseñado para ser en extremo ruidoso ya que la finalidad de la marca es en crear buen sonido y no sólo ruido. Y finalmente el precio, es un poco elevado pero vale cada peso pagado, la entrega tardó un poco ya que lo pedí en temporada de Black Friday y Cyber Monday, aún así la espera valió la pena.
- fastreaderReviewed in Canada on July 18, 2015
5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the BEST Bluetooth Speaker around for under $250. Superb Sound. Easy set up. Robust build quality.
Color: CarbonStyle: SoundLink Mini IIVerified PurchaseI was looking at the full size Bose Soundlink but when I thought about what I really needed it was too expensive. I wanted a bluetooth speaker that was easy to set up, reasonably priced, with superb build quality and knock your socks off audio performance. All of this and more fits the Mini II.
I wasn't after something that would fill the neighbor hood with sound and scare all the cats and wildlife within a 3 block radius (I have other equipment that can do that). I wanted something that I could use on the deck, or indoors, when we have friends over or in my studio when I'm working and that had superb sound. The Mini II meets my needs.
PROS
1) Superb build quality as the unit weights almost 2 pounds (800 grams)
2) visually appealing appearance (although most people can't figure out where the big sound is coming from)
3) small footprint (easy to put on a book shelf)
4) superb sound quality (Bose is known for this) including reasonably good bass performance
5) easy to set up
6) charge using the charging base or anything with a USB port including your PC, LapTop, or car plug
7) link to multiple sources plus the linking process literally takes less then 10 seconds
CONS
1) in the house I found that 3 walls can defeat the signal although that is correctable as it is a portable speaker (outside you are probably looking at 20 metres (60 feet) plus or more depending on the strength of the source
I don't find anything missing from buying the Mini II versus the slightly larger Soundlink
As a bonus at $219CAN it beats the USA price of $260CAN ($199USA plus 30% exchange)
HIGHLY Recommended

el producto mide 18 cm de largo por 5 alto para considerase al hacer la compra. tengo una sala / comedor bastante grande con techos de 350 de alto pero aun así la bocina se escucho bastante alto ,incluso en una reunion con bastante gente. la batería ha durado bastante, Excelente producto,
