Blutooth boxes there virtually every price range of about 40 from (ISY Blutooth Box of Saturn / Media Markt) in over 100 (Logitech Boombox), to the more expensive models (300 and up Bose SoundLink and Jawbone Big Jambox).
The SoundLink, the quite difficult seemed to me at first, convinced. Especially by an absolute quality sound If one station in a larger space, so you can make music as well denoch the SoundLink very loud can be (and is tonally well - room-filling sound). Compared to cheaper Models like the SoundLink is not tinny, but still delivers even at high volumes a reasonable sound from. When Logitech Boombox example was the sound after a short time very tinny (though loud, but not good).
What has me with many other Bluetooth boxes previously disturbed, was the lack of bass again. This is only logical, because you can build any real bass producers in such small boxes. Here, however, the Bose SoundLink scores all along the line. The bass performance is so good that many people just have a look in amazement when turning on this little box. This is confirmed by several test labs, showing that the SoundLink also in the lower frequencies which hermacht (Test: Connect.de).
The price I feel as high, but justified, because of the SoundLink is very well made to my being (better than comparable devices) and the sound significantly better. Only the Big Jawbox can keep up with the sound. This has yet to be able to produce a surround sound the additional feature (quasi Souround), which works well especially in small spaces and music (see reviews there).
I think it's not really the Bose SoundLink advertises as a premium product, but for example, when saving guarantee. Here are some (partly favorable) provider better (up to 12 years warranty). Since the SoundLink but all along the line as far as the sound (the most important) wins, I forgive well deserved 5 stars. The battery life has dropped by about half a year to 3 hours normal volume, what I see critical because for the customer there is no way to change this. That applies to all boxes so why I dseewgen not abwerte here.
ALTERNATIVES:
For those who want only so hi and represents music, for example, the lake is the convenient solution (Logitech Boombox or ISY Blutooth Box) is the better solution because of the SoundLink this is too expensive.
For all the good sound the device but want to leave frequently (in the closet in the bathroom, etc.) is the BIG Jawbox something because the surround sound is a great added feature that does not offer Bose. In addition, BIG Jawbox is somewhat more favorable, which should be of interest to many also (it is not quite as portable).
