Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've bought mini speakers such as Skullcandy, Beats by Dre, Sony & Jawbone and they're no close to the sound of this mini speaker. $199.99 might be a little bit expensive, but it's worth it. I carry it with me all the time whenever I go out. It's a little bit heavy for a mini speaker, but I don't care because when I use it I love the powerful sound that comes out of it. I just Love Bose products.

I've been looking for a portable bluetooth speaker for over a year. My friend has the Jambox and I almost went with that but didn't feel the price was worth it. The Jambox sound was pretty good but I didn't think the price was worth it. So I almost went with a mediocre speaker in the price range of $50 to $99. However, almost all of them didn't seem to have great sound. I researched the Bose Mini Soundlink and was surprised at all the 5 star reviews. I decided to order it online despite it being in the $200 range. I didn't have the chance to listen to the quality at the store. When I went to pick it up, I tested the Beats Pill and the quality was below the Jambox. The Jambox to me was okay. Then I tested the Bose Soundlink Mini and I was amazed at the vast difference in sound quality from the others. I immediately picked up my purchase and it was easy to set up. I haven't read the manual yet but love the quality of the sound for the size of this little speaker. Wished I bought it a long time ago!

Small unit with big sound. Will fill a small room with great sound. Easy setup. Does setup in minutes! Easy to use. Dont like controlling volume from unit that is a pain. It really isnt for outdoor use, i saw it in the instructions, i guess on a clear day just be careful. The battery life needs to be longer!. The base is fine for me i listen to lots of RnB and Hip Hop and sometimes its not enough for me but I do have EQ on my bluetooth device that lets me adjust the sound quality and it works great. Is it better than UE Boom well......UE has better features to me but I love the sound of the Bose and the UE! will get Boom also. But Bose has better base. Hope this helps.

I had been doing my research online whether to get the Bose Soundlink Mini or the Bose Soundlink. Everyone kept saying the mini had better sound quality. So i went to my local best buy and demoed both products and I could hear a huge difference in quality. The mini has clearer sound and its less scratchy. So I decided to buy the mini and when i got home, i was blown away. The Bose Soundlink Mini is so freaking loud and clear that people think I actually have a surround sound system in my house. I love this mini speaker and I would recommend it to anyone looking for the best of the best!

I'm a former audio engineer and had bought the JBL Charge based on a YouTube side-by-side with this unit. However had seen another video where the volume buttons (+ was -, and vice versa) on the JBL were installed backwards and when I picked up my black Charge as marked by JBL, it was actually white in the box! Took this questionable QC as my cue to rethink and pay the extra $ for the Bose. In person the Bose was head and shoulders above in sound quality. Nice clarity in both highs and lows at moderate volume. They all distort a bit at higher volumes. The Bose feels more solid with the metal enclosure- noticeably better construction and bass is much deeper, but not too tubby. For a smaller unit it sounds awesome... The speakers are farther apart than on the JBL, so better stereo spread. The JBL also sounds really good and is probably good for someone more on the go- fits in cup holder, and lighter weight with carry case included- but for my needs around the house and on vacation the Bose is great... This is the Bluetooth speaker for those with a more sophisticated palette...

The search is over. Here's why the Bose SoundLink Mini is the one for you too: What's great: - Sound accuracy - Quality sound at various volumes - Beautiful, simple construction - Long battery life - Bluetooth What's not great: - Occasional 'popping' sound with the audio *suspect this is a Bluetooth issue and not the speaker

It's small but quite heavy. I'm happy with the sound.

When I initially took the speaker out of the box I could immediately tell it was worth the money. It has some good heft to it, feels well built, and is aesthetically pleasing. I was however, unprepared for the quality of the sound that came from this relatively small speaker. I placed it in the cradle to start charging, turned it on, and was paired to my cell phone within 1 minute. I started up Pandora, and was immediately blown away by the quality of the sound that emanated from this thing! Rich, full bass and not too tinny highs. The speaker easily fills my bedroom with rich full sound! If I was to walk into a room filled with this speaker's sound I would be looking for a sound system or at least a speaker 4 times it's size.

Wife has been wanting a Beats Pill for a while so I read reviews on them and weren't that great. So I said lets go with Bose. Ended up buying her the Bose Soundlink Mini and it sounds WAY better than Beats with bass and clear sound! She loves, I love it. We're all happy! Def recommend any Bose speaker to everyone!

This is an excellent product from Bose!...sound quality is great, pretty good bass for its size (what you should expect from it). The sound will fill an entire room. Set up is very simple and fast. I had originally purchased the original soundlink but returned it because wasn't that impressed for the price tag, eventually bose came out with the soundlink 2. I was going to try out the soundlink 2 after reading that bose made improvements but then saw the soundlink mini and read many reviews that it beats the soundlink 2...it's true in my opinion! I'm very picky with products and this is probably the best Bluetooth speaker for $200 and will not regret the purchase. It also feels like its worth the $$$, well built overall design! There's just no comparison to the beats pill, jukebox mini, and it's competitors for the price!

I purchased the Bose Mini Soundlink at Best Buy 3 months ago and love it! I couldn't be happier with it. It's worth the price because the sound quality and bass/treble range is well above its competitors. It has enough bass for any music genre and it sounds great with house music! Don't go to a cheaper alternative. Its not worth it. This is the speaker you need to own for a small, travel friendly speaker with lots of power and a very high quality of sound overall.

I bought these needing a wireless solution for my iPod Nano and these are great! I am a runner who has has been using Bose wired earbuds for years for the fit and sound quality (been though 3 sets in 6-8 years) and was shocked at the fit and sound quality of these ear buds. Charged them up and had synced in minutes and couldn't believe the sound. I was expecting to lose some quality for the wireless but actually think they sound BETTER than the Bose?! I will need to see how these are after 1,000 miles, but so far I am incredibly impressed! I got them on sale for a very reduced price so the value vs. other options was excellent.

My family and I use this speaker all over the house and it works great! Love the sounds that comes out and the portability that this speaker provides. Also bought the cover, and would recommend doing that because it has been dropped by my kids several times, but still works like a charm.

This was a great buy! Love the portability and size, but on the same note, it puts out great sound quality. Connects easily by Bluetooth and aux cord so can it can stay in for a house party or travel with you everywhere. GREAT JOB BOSE!!

I bought this a few hours before I party I was hosting. My current wired speaker set up just wasn't convenient. Guests kept marveling over the small size and sound quality for such a little speaker. I don't often purchase tech products but this was a great purchase. Two thumbs way up.

I am very impressed with the sound quality of this product. It is a compact size and can easily fit in purse or overnight bag. The Bluetooth connection was immediately recognizeable and the ease made it fun to use. I will be using this alot in my home, the yard and at gatherings away from the house. It is very sleek looking, also.

The sound quality from this portable device is in line with the consistent quality experienced from all Bose products - e.g. powerful treble, great clarity and crispness, moderate base. Ease of use was an important factor, as it quickly found and connected to my iPhone, which was able to control the volume and, per all Bluetooth devices, control song change. The Auxillary input is important for use on 32" flatscreen TV in a small playroom, as it can bring surround sound quality to inexpensive TY, Blueray, and Apple TV. The price tag is another strong point, as most Bose products are on the higher side of the competition. This appears in line with comparable products in the portable speaker space.

I am so impressed by this little speaker. It sounds clear, has respectable bass and fills a room with beautiful music. Previously I bought bluetooth speakers that did not measure up to my listening values and they were returned. Honestly, I thought bluetooth didn't produce quality sound that justified the price. While shopping for a birthday gift for my husband, I gravitated over to the display for this little speaker. Once I pushed the button, I was sold. There were two others standing in the same isle while the demo was playing and both of them stopped to see what I was going to do. I grabbed the next to the last one on the shelf. What a great gift this would be for Christmas. QUALITY device. I'd give it ten stars if I could. I bought this primarily to use outside since I have a large Sonos system, which I LOVE, inside. I have found that the little bose is great for my kitchen since it has a small profile but fills the room with rich sound. Terrific item. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

If you're looking for a speaker to fill up a bedroom or office, then this speaker will work perfectly. It has great sound quality for as small as it is and has a better than expected amount of bass. I tried using this speaker in my living room and it worked well out there. It probably isn't a speaker to use if you want to blast music during a party, but it provides plenty of sound. I have heard the Big Jambox and this speaker compares pretty good. The Soundlink Mini doesn't get as loud as the Big Jambox, however the Big Jambox is much bigger and cost about $100 more. If you're looking for something to take on travel or to put in a room, look at getting the Bose Soundlink Mini.

For a mini bluetooth speaker this packs a lot of volume! I can't belive it. If your on the fence i would recommend picking this up. Great for parties or just casual listening. This is the best bluetooth speaker in this range better than even the big jambox!
