SoundLink Bluetooth Mobile Speaker II - Nylon (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I had the opportunity to test both the Soundlink mini and this Soundlink, basically it\'s older and bigger sibling. I was very torn on which one to get after testing both products, but I end up choosing this Soundlink Bluetooth over the mini. However, I still have my reservation about the choice.Pros:- Built in case (you get the choice of nylon or leather, but it\'s built in, so it\'s ready to carry with you without buying additional case) the mini does not come with a case.- You can turn up the volume high enough without distortion, and can throw a decent dance party in a living room.- Quality of sound given the size and output volume is pretty big. The difference between what these speakers put out and what your laptop sound system can do, is night and day. Significantly better than what your built in tv speakers can do as well.- Has a battery so you can listen (up to 8 hours) on the go.Cons:- The soundlink mini, despite the smaller size, has better sound quality. I\'m not a professional music anything, nor am I a hardcore audiophile can recognize the difference between $400 and $80 dollar headphones, but I like music, and was able to play both of these, for significant amounts of times, to the same exact song, while having the speakers on the same spot in the room. Tried a few songs, and yes, the mini has the better sound. The vocals are clearer, with the possible exception of the \"lows\" everything from treble to the highs and mids just sound plain better, more accurate, \"cleaner\" if you will. I was amazed at how good the sound from the mini is. It really puts out amazing sound, and it\'s a much smaller package than this.- The mini, due to its size is more portable… did I mention it has clearly better sound?Neutral:- The design is already a bit outdated. The mini looks much more modern and better. This guy looks a little like a speaker from the 80s. Not a big deal but wanted to point that out. It looks a lot less impressive in person than on the pictures here.So, why did I end up getting this one over the mini? Well, it came down to output volume. While the mini has clearly the better sound, you can only crank it up so much. Basically, you are not gonna throw a party with the mini, nor are you gonna fill a large living room with it. I wanted something I could crank up for a party, or when I wanted to have music throughout the house. The mini is really only for a bedroom, or a small living room. So despite it\'s better sound, I needed something a little louder, and this is where this Soundlink comes in play. The only disappointing part is that you\'re paying more money for an inferior sounding product.If your main use for the mobile speaker is in your office, or bedroom, I would recommend getting the mini instead. If you need something louder, this is a good choice.
Hello...So I searched high and low for the review I am about to give. If you go out there and search you will end up just as confused as I did but I have your golden ticket right here. I am also going to make it quite succinct..Now. For you folks with a MAC... Run to the app store and grab an app called Boom. It is $7 an completely essential. Basically, it gives you an EQ for your MAC output. Without it you are going to have a hard time making a decision.Now the bottom line.The Bose, when placed about 6 inches from a solid wall and if you have a MAC, eq\'d with Boom, is capable of a far more high fidelity sound that the BIG Jawbone... I tried multiple genres of music in a side by side comparison. The main complaint about the Bose is the Bass is overpowering at low levels... It can be. That is what the EQ is for. However, the Big Jawbone has a terrible bass response. On several occasions I found it completely unlistenable because of bass distortion. Louder is not necessarily better.The Bose is simple. It has no extra features like a speakerphone. I honestly think the Big Jawbone and its speakerphone are quite a gimmick. It may be useful for other people but I simply wanted the best sounding speaker.Outside of sounding like a LOUD tinny version of the Bose. The Big Jawbone had another deal breaking issue for me. The Bluetooth connection dropped and had to be re-paired more times than I\'d like to admit. The Bose remembers my mac every time. I just have to turn it on.The BJS \'Live Audio\' feature was interesting and made some genres sound better.The two positive perks of the BJ I will point out are the shape and loudness... It really gets up there. If you are listening to any kind of acoustic, latin or fusion it actually sounds pretty good. Anything with deep or droning bass will illustrate major sound issues it has pretty viscerally. The square shape is a little more portable than the Bose. it can be set up anywhere but the Bose really needs the bass reflection.My final verdict is I wanted the best sounding speaker and that is the Bose with some tweeks. I will add one caveat... Mp3s are really compressed as-is. They get even further degraded over bluetooth. Streaming songs from Grooveshark and Pandora are almost unbearably bad without EQ. Neither of these speakers will impress an audiophile. However, they are handy, portable and great at what they are.Now you may go out, much like I did, and read a bunch of reviews..Most of them say the BJ is superior soundwise. However, I believe the Bose is engineered to be more capable. It is not as loud. If you get the bass reflection off a wall right there is just no comparison... Neither will WOW you but on the same token they are both pretty good.Great forSinger SongwriterInstrumentalAmbient ElectronicLAtinJazzFusionRock <90sClassical MusicOk forModern RockSkaMetalHousePunkVocal PopStreaming AudioBad forRapDubstepIndustrialDance Driven PopRemember the Eq. If you listen to it flat on a MAC you are going to scream Whiskey Tango Foxtrot and send it back... Also, if you do use the BOOM EQ make sure your itunes eq is off. If you use both at the same time You are going to have a bad time...
