Anticipation, I know the Bose SoundLink mini from an acquaintance, however, has but a little put me off the then price of 199. Now comes with the Bose SoundLink Color fresh on the market and the introduction of price and design convinced me to buy it. The design is well chosen for my taste and I personally like even better than the SoundLink mini. It is unobtrusive, nice and light and with rubber feet, it is stable and not slippery. Sonically it can keep my opinion loosely mini with the SoundLink. Rich powerful sound up to 3/4 of the maximum volume after the high notes drown out the bass. But at 3/4 of maximum volume is already so loud that a quiet conversation difficult in a medium sized room. For a device of this size, one would never suspect that it has such a power. Technically sound the opinions of many go so strongly apart. For my taste, everything is perfectly sound. One can not expect that such a small box can replace a proper stereo naturally. But for this compact design it is quite amazing what you can get out there. For me, the SoundLink Color will be everywhere where I want to listen to music without much effort.
Last but not least is still the voice to say, the SoundLink Color says with what device it is connected at startup.
