I am still the subwoofer

Bose SoundLink ® ® ® Mini Bluetooth Speaker Silver (Electronics)

Customer Review

For quite some time I sneak through the area and looking for a mobile speaker. Wired I have, but wireless transmission excites me as even more. With Bluetooth, I have had good experiences, for over six years, I hear so already via mobile phone music.

The other day I was so commercially again before the shelves of small noisemakers and coupled so to myself. Incidentally, not so easy if my phone spits out about 50 devices that were currently reachable. After about four different speakers, which rather reminded me of a mediocre kitchen radio, I stood in front of the mini Bose SoundLink. Visually beautiful and straight after I put him on his dock even willing to work.

So again long sought in the list of my cell phone, found and coupled. That was before quickly and easily. Then wanted a nice title, is of sound technically good quality, with corresponding proportions of all frequencies and good spatiality. Pressed to play .... nothing .... ah yes, first time on mobile volume turned high. Still nothing, clearly, the speaker is also set to silent. So gently pressed the + button and now is what to hear.
A slightly puzzled look makes me wide, I probably see slightly from dimwitted when I start to look for the source of the sound. She stands before me, I have to realize short. Fortunately, my wife and my son are shopping. So they can not see how easily changed my stupid face in an equally good-looking greedy grin after unsuccessful search of nonexistent subwoofer.
However, shortly after that I look again stunned, because I discovered the price tag. 199,95 want the small for the part. Mir is almost dizzy, I leave the business.

Two days later, I can not rest the issue, I rummage in the Internet and devour reviews. Well at least I know now that I was not the only one with face derailment at the first audition.
Well, there is already sold everywhere for weeks Christmas chocolate it is thinking at the time about my self-gift, which I am every year. So overflown at Amazon still fast 113 recessions, clicked a few times here and there .... oh my god, I've done it, the sound bar is on the way. And two days later already there. In addition, even incredible 1.07 saved on Amazon, let's see what I do with all the money still in place.
Greedy I unpack it, a lot's not in the box. The box, a power adapter with plugs for various countries and a charging station.

At the box does not go before, the battery is not summoned. So power cord ran and an orange flashing light tells the charging process. Meanwhile, I can test the part already. Incidentally, you can plug the power cord directly into the box, or in the charging station, to which one is the box then. So I could well do without the charging station and then it took like a money saver.

I put the small beautiful device into the living room, centrally in the wall unit. When I sit down on the couch I have to look for now. The unit can hardly be seen there. Right and left on the floor are my regular transducer, also from Bose, about 30 years old and huge in size. Well then little brother, leg's go.

What comes next is beyond any normal expectation without exaggeration. With unimaginable volume and decent space the Minibox kicks off. It is true bass present, no muddy depths, simulating the low frequencies only in passing. The bass is really available, ranging amazingly deep down. Also heights are played decent, just clear female voices sound great. The centers are not very pronounced, but that falls well on. I then added my equalizer to immediately sound the whole slightly tinny and yet more like cheap speaker. So back to standard, now everything sounds good again. Overall, the SoundLink sounds warm and supple. Basses come crisp, but not mercilessly hard, heights are not transparent to the last detail, but also fit into the overall picture soft and comfortable.

Now even the volume test, I turn the level slowly higher and'm surprised again. Mir is it slow too loud, still the sound is clean and precise. The nearly 25 square meters large living room is sonicated loud, I'm worried about the neighbors. No matter, I want to know your limits and turn higher. Now lets the bass after but, although the speaker is distorted not really, but the music begins to sound imprecise. But I am already arrived at a level which could make difficult the social relations in the house.

Where does the much too strong for this case size bass? So Bose has built here two tiny speakers, but are driven by powerful magnets. In addition they have more desire to move and freedom than most membranes, so they slide relatively much air back and forth. Thus, two passive membranes are then driven, located front and back of the device and taking most of the entire housing. The swing also very cheerfully to herself and just comes also the very adult tone.

The device is actually very robust, speaker grille made of metal, the aluminum housing. The device sounds not only bigger than it looks, it also weighs more.

Then I demonstrated the small device even my wife and my son. Their faces were my confirmation, I bought the thing. I had my wife but now jokingly told, I would have tried the family budget .... I want to run any more detail here. About the price of the device it was, now I would say, slightly puzzled.

The Bose SoundLink coupled easily with Bluetooth devices, I tried with my phone and my tablet, everything quite easily. Sonically there are slight differences, my Androidtablet sounds good on the SoundLink, my Windows mobile excellent. You can see the device via cable (Bose but stingy on 3,5er jack connector). So the box for music playback devices of any kind is suitable.

Bose indicates that the speaker through has seven hours on a single charge, which is absolutely realistic. If one strives normal volume does the battery even more longer. He is charged again after 2.5-3 hours. There is also a battery indicator light that green (100-70% capacity), orange (70-20%) or red (20-0%) lights. The capacity is available at your fingertips and will also appear when you turn short.

Many keys are otherwise not, on / off switch, mute, volume + and -, pairing button for Bluetooth and an AUX button. Connections are also in short supply, power supply, auxiliary input and below a mini USB. But he is not to charge, but also serves future updates, so that the SoundLink continue reliably absorbs with all devices on the market connection.
Otherwise, the device may not have much, no playback via USB or SD card, no remote control of the music source. As the competition has definitely more to offer. Therefore, and also because not even a connecting cable for non-bluetooth enabled devices included with a star deduction.

Below again the technical data, as always Bose is also here stingy. A tangible value to the output there is not time again. Not let yourself be lulled by numbers, Listen to the whole thing just once at: Always according to the motto.
And that should do once everyone interested simply. For many of the bass is certainly too intrusive, with equalizers can make changes to but. If possible, test the device at home, the sound is much better there than in the big store, even if you get there already big ears
