After unpacking then a fairly compact and massive (heavy) "Speaker" to the fore.
The processing or quality impression is excellent!
Who here propagated with "cheap metal"? - That I can not understand definitely!
And I think Bose has good reason to be ... Image
The first use was quickly possible the establishment / connection worked with multiple devices perfectly (I have the SoundLink connected to my Sony Xperia Z smartphone, my Sony Xperia Tablet Z and my Gigaset Tablet).
Only a bit disturbing (but no real criticism); during joining the Bluetooth icon of the speaker flashes blue and white with a conversation.
From my other Bluetooth devices I am used to a blue state with a conversation ...
Now the most important thing, the sound.
Here I am absolutely fascinated!
It's just amazing how good the sound spectrum of the Bose SoundLink.
Of course, this is also related to the source, so, for example, affect the sound settings and effects of my Sony Xperia Z "Walkman" Players on the SoundLink from.
But in principle, the potential is outstanding.
I've also found; The quieter the volume, the more balanced the sound (and one wonders where this comes merely Bass ago ...?).
So at the desk with eyes closed, the SoundLink away half a meter, and the music in normal Lautsärke over z: B. smartphone - unbelievable how well that sounds!
But even in higher volume, the SoundLink does not hide which case the sound spectrum a bit suffers definitely.
Conclusion:
For me, the Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Speakers III is a mobile speaker with exceptionally good sound!
The price is currently not quite irrelevant but it gives just a little "more".
I can recommend it with a clear conscience!
Addendum 06.17.2014:
I have changed the title of my review and it is really so; The longer I have the Bose SoundLink the more I am excited about it!
Meanwhile, I use a good piece at every opportunity, because I can be as simple and straightforward, almost everywhere listen to my music in incredibly good sound.
Yes and the sound; the excited me more and more!
Depending on the place of installation (resonance) can not believe that this small "speaker" can produce this sound spectrum actually!
