Bose SoundLink Mobile speaker

For such a small, portable Bluetooth speaker, the ; sounds great and plays impressively loud without distorting. It also has a built-in rechargeable battery, an auxiliary input, a rugged design, and the option to swap out protective covers (one of...

The speaker is pricey and has no speakerphone capabilities.

If you're willing to pay a premium, the Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile speaker is the best portable Bluetooth speaker on the market.

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.

Good, powerful sound ; Elegant looks ; Wireless playback

Reviews: Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speaker

As noted in our 2012 Buyers’ Guide, the big theme of 2011 has been a shift from traditionally dock-based iPod and iPhone speaker systems over to wireless versions, some continuing to include docks while others omit them. Developers have had to...

And that?s where the SoundLink has the most in common with Bose?s other systems: it?s overpriced by around $100 relative to what you?re actually getting here. We really liked the SoundLink?s design, particularly the elements in the more deluxe $350...

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...
