Advantages / Disadvantages of UE Boom / Bose SoundLink mini
- Better sound the UE boom in the mid and high frequencies ("Bass" are also good, but not quite as bulky and have a lower sound pressure level than Bose)
- UE Boom has a much higher overall volume (undistorted)
- 360 degree beam angle, therefore, very good surround sound, Bose should sit in a relatively low angle of radiation prior to device
- Battery life of the UE boom a few hours longer than with the Bose SoundLink
- Bose has nobler finish (aluminum body) this is the UE stylish, robust, waterproof and dirt-resistant
- The battery may be at Bose change in the UE is not readily possible, but! usually so holding a battery 1000 charge cycles at an (initial) capacity of 15h hours, these are 15,000 hours or almost 2 years of continuous operation.
- Bluetooth connectivity is at the UE at an advantage, because, for example, 2 devices can be connected at the same time and without re "Log" (Multipairing). MAC and iOS devices work perfectly. Windows 7 does not (false report)!
- UE Boom with Freisprecheinrichting, Bose not
- Two UE can be used as stereo channels connect (is single device but also stereo)
Conclusion
In summary it can be said that the application range of the UE Boom is gestalltet much more flexible. It also makes a very stylish and perfectly crafted impression. The high quality of workmanship is also true for the Sound Link. Here the bass at an advantage, volume and overall sound are also not. So if you or a similar location for the nightstand examined before you sit relatively central, is well served by the Bose. This can be the UE Boom also but it is also much more.
The UE Boom deserves 4.5 stars, the Bose SoundLink but also very good 4 stars
