Probably it comes to each of us so that one reads on the search for the right product pages and pages of reviews and you just wonder the self-test, the people actually think this product !?
Music, and the way how it is felt, is absolutely subjective, and although I have no idea about the technical Komponeten, I wanted at that time the "Eierlegenden Wollmichsau". As I discovered relatively quickly, there was this solution a year ago and not even until today (July 2014) I do not know any mobile speaker meets this requirement. So had a decision of principle ago, the question of what I actually starts möchhte !? My answer to this question is, the "best sound" which you can get in this compact class. For this reason and due to lack of competition (in the All in One solutions), I have decided in the first step for a stationary speakers, a BeoPlay A9 from B & O. Despite the quite proud at cost, I can not recommend to anyone to who can muster the wherewithal ...
Unsatisfactory for me was just the fact that is my BeoPlay on three wooden legs and weighing in - felt - 50 kg of any way meet the demands of a mobile speaker, which you can take from room to room or even with the balcony ,
So I kept searching (Bose, lion, Sony, B & W, ...) and I was willing to spend for a very sensible solution up to 350. Again, I ended up as a benchmark at a Beolit 12 (B & O) that the for me - after unzählichen Compare - provides most balanced sound. So if the cost of currently 499 (previously 699) has, I can only recommend the Box, as the plant is not only convincing through your retro style ...
For me, the following components were important:
1. good sound (always in proportion to the size and to see the thus technically feasible)
2. Good workmanship
3. Battery
4 .Design
Well, after a long search I finally arrived ...
The box of Harman Kardon is the price an absolute dream and is currently about 150 absolutely unrivaled - at least for the sound and style.
>> I do not need box that I can pack in my rucksacks and take to the lake - for the Speaker is simply too unwieldy and too big - and I I need no box that I can use the same time as a speakerphone for my phone , I need no box that I can connect with a jack and with my phone ...
All you "no", this box, but gets an incredibly great sound for the value for money !!!
Anyone looking for a moblie solution, according to the motto, small, handy, good sound, great processing, which I can recommend the SoundLink Mini.
IMPORTANT: Since this is a product that is apparently only sold in the US market, a power cable needs to be purchased for the charging cable. I go but assume that there is such a cable in each household ...
