Actually, I'm always a Bose-haters (since the 901ern many decades ago). I was convinced no Bose speakers or headphones. When the surround speakers are missing because of the small satellite centers in mobile loudspeakers (SoundLink Mobile Speaker II) the sound is awful. While it is Bass present but which. Mids and highs presses painfully out of the case ...... But now I've bought a Bose-part !!!!!!! The new Bose SoundLink Mini is simply a stunner. Had Speaker II bought myself a few months ago for vacation and garden instead of the SoundLink Mobile the Libratone Zipp. Well this little naughty mini dwarf (Bose SoundLink Mini) but actually comes to the Libratone ran! In this size and price difference! This sonority! I'm excited - bought SoundLink Mini and happy! My tip: Be sure to listen to at home. One can not believe it - you must have heard it. Even if you're not a fan of Bose. Since Bose is a very big hit, which you have to admit.
