Excellent Sound quality speakers. This thing is small yet the Sound voice is so clear and the Base is loud and distinct which is by far the best Wireless Phone Speakers available in the Market so far. I have tried the Sony, Beats and jbl believe me nothing comes close to it. Goes by its Brand name BOSE is simply the best in Sound engineering.

This compact speaker is very portable, which I love. Whether you are just taking it downstairs to your home office or packing it in your carryon for travel purposes, it is lightweight and convenient. It gives a nice sound and the volume is great for a small social gathering. I actually own two and purchased this one as a gift!

I think the size of this box doesn't indicate the sound quality you wil get from it. The bass , midrange and treble are all there. It is easy and quick to set up and doesn't take up much room in my suit case means it is a constant companion to me on all my trips, even out to the garage to work on my toys.

The soundlink 3 has a great, clean sound and is extremely portable. I can slide it into a small pocket on my backpack no problem. Would recommend to anyone willing to pay 299 for a good bluetooth speaker. This is plenty loud for home and office use and has great sound quality, especially for its size.

I purchased this speaker because of its portability and Bluetooth capability. The sound quality is excellent! The only downside is that you have to use your smart phone as a remote because this speaker does not come with one .

The Bose SLIII is a great portable sound system. Easily links to your Bluetooth devices and prides excellent sound. Deep bass and crisp highs make it perfect for an office, desk or outside. Plenty of power and a long lasting battery make this a must have for Bluetooth music devices.

One must truly listen to this speaker to understand how incredible it is. Comparing to the Soundlink II, which I also own, the sound does have a bit more bass and sound just a bit fuller. It can play extremely loud, and very few people would have a need to go as loud as it can get. For the price, you should make sure to get the Soundlink III over the II, as it is only a few dollars more. The one thing that it doesn't have is Airplay, which I feel for the money should be included. You have to go to another more expensive speaker to get that. But, it does offer an aux input which can be useful for those of us who have other items to connect besides bluetooth phones/tablets. Unlike the Soundlink II, the Soundlink III does not have a built in cover that doubles as a stand. While you can buy cases for the III, this is one feature I particularly liked about the II. Overall, it is an amazing speaker and I highly recommend it.

Amazing sound quality and awesome volume for a speaker this size. Never ran to a dead battery after hours of play. The system overall is very simple. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a portable system with sound quality comparable to a much larger sound system.

You can never go wrong with Bose. This small speaker has great sound quality, good bass response and I can carry it anywhere in the house without losing my bluetooth connection. It's simple to operate and easy to switch bluetooth connections from my computer to my phone.

I was looking for a bluetooth speaker for my wife for Christmas and read up on all the ones available in this price range. Some reviews claimed the Bose lacked in bass but I'm not hearing it. It has plenty of bass, any more and it would be too bassy. I'm guessing those people prefer bass heavy music. The Bose is balanced, clear, and plenty loud to fill a room or provide backyard bbq music. We listen to plenty of metal, rock, and heavy music. This unit has no problem with it sounding fuzzy or distorted. The battery life is awesome, that's what eventually sold me. You run out of beer before you run out of battery. If you don't mind the price or your ears don't hear the difference then go with a lower priced unit, if you want quality go with this Bose. Wife's happy, I'm happy....now I need one for myself.

I always like to have music when I travel on holiday. We were using a Solara by Eton, but after a battery replacement and continued problems, I figured it had run its course (great unit, they don't make it anymore). The Bose is not solar, but it does keep a nice charge for plenty of portability. I tested it against Best Buy's other offerings in the store, and IMO it sounded the best, great bass (but not over emphasized) . Taking it home, I was not disappointed. It filled the room with full spectrum sound. They recommend placing near a reverberating wall -- good idea if you can do it, but not necessary.
Connectivity, which has been problematic for me in the past, was a breeze, but to be fair, I was able to connect to all bluetooth units easily so maybe that is no longer an issue.
Water / Splash resistance would be a plus - bit nervous by the pool and on the beach.
Great unit, pick one up!

I have purchased several of these speakers. The speaker is easy to pair with a smart phone and IPad. Great sound out a small package. The sound is better indoors where the sound can bounce off walls. The battery life is over six hours great for a cookout or party.

Bose® - SoundLink® Portable Bluetooth Speaker III

This is my third Bose Bluetooth. I really love the mini. I got this one for my house. The sound is a little more fuller then the mini. Very clear. All-in-all, if you want portability and a great sound, I would say go with the mini. Considering this is much larger I was expecting twice the sound at full volume. But as you can see from the wonderful video posted, there's not that much difference.

Bose should be renamed Boss...because that's what they are when it comes to sound and clarity. Had this speaker for over 2 mouths hear music out of it at least 1-2hours a day and it never disappoint battery last me a good week without charging it. I listen to a lot hip-hop and R&B music and overall it's a good sounding speaker I'm sure your get more bass with some beats pill XL but when it comes to clarity this speaker takes the cake I listen to a lot of Tejano music and other Spanish music and the voice sound amazing you get what you pay for with Bose overall great design and sound quality haven't had one complaint about it this far should Bose maybe make a bass sub that you can connect to this or sync to it to get more bass without losing the amazing vocals this speaker puts out I would say yes but yeah definitely worth the 299 price tag

Who would have thought you could get such rich, satisfying sound out of a little box? I have trusted in Bose for many products and the Soundlink III is my latest purchase. I use it mainly for a dance class that I occasionally instruct. My music is on my iPhone, which allows me to control the music from the dance floor-- not having to go back-and-forth to the speaker to hit on and off, etc. The speaker fills the room nicely. I've used it in small class rooms and very large rooms (1000 sq ft). I did a lot of research to find the best bluetooth speaker, and I think I did!
