I will not dwell on the finish and ease of use, everything has been said, it is perfect.
A small downside to the power supply, very small and roomy, EXCEPT when it is equipped with its European plug adapter, really clumsy.
A report that the compartment for the charger is located on the optional carrying case (45 of which-we kidding) is too small for the charger with the adapter.
Let the most important: the sound.
Once connected, first of all I was surprised by the depth of bass coming out of that little box, it seems that certain physical limits have been exceeded, as there is in relation to the size.
But after a few minutes of listening, and the first effect "Waouhhh" past, it is clear that there is far too low, especially indoors, even without being near a wall.
They are certainly flattering, but leave little room for midrange and treble to express themselves.
It is as if there was a non-disconnectable loudness filter, and listening quickly becomes tiring.
I then installed an equalizer on my smartphone ("Equalizer Pro" 10 bands on Google Play) and groping year, I found the settings that fit me well (-3.5 dB at 70 Hz, -2 dB 130 Hz and 210 Hz -0.8 dB). I also recovered slightly treble (+1.5 dB to 7 kHz, + 3 dB for 13 kHz).
Since then, I never tire of listening with delight this little gem, the quality is there, the dynamic is very good, and I do not feel tired in the long run, which is a good sign.
Let us make no mistake: there is no miracle, sound quality has nothing to do with that of a HiFi system, but frankly, compared to the size and portability, it's really excellent!
The noise level is quite high largely indoors, and after a first test medium autonomy level (even with battery charged to 100%), the device has turned more than 8 hours before the battery indicator goes off, flash red.
Idea for Bose: If there is already a USB plug, why not indulge a little dedicated software that would make adjustments that would store the device (such as adjusting the response curve to his tastes)
To those who criticize the fact that we can not charge via USB: The battery is 7.4 volts the device, the USB comes out 5, so it would require a step-up in the unit.
Considering the capacity of 2300 mAh battery, one would have the disadvantage of a very long time to load, given the current fight a little USB or USB-AC adapter.
To conclude, more:
+ The understated and timeless aesthetic.
+ The quality of printing is releasing the product.
+ The Bluetooth range greater than 5 meters, even with obstacles.
+ The quality of bluffing his coming out of this little box, but alas only ONCE ADJUSTED RESPONSE CURVE.
Cons:
- Response Curve putting way too low in front.
- Not even carrying pouch supplied with the unit.
- Power supply unit losing all compactness when equipped with European plug adapter.
If there was not the problem this too low, the Mini Soundlink largely deserves its 5 stars.
