I'm almost completely (treble a bit weak ...) enthusiastic about the thing. I have no comparison to other devices of this type. But the sound of Bose is the hammer. I never thought that one can get out of this tiny much bass. Perfect to enjoy Spotify anywhere. The portability is the main advantage. I take my music to anywhere with easy. Box is well insulated and insensitive to interfering "Mobile Noise". Price is quite high, so far but worth every euro. The power pack is designed in its basic version for American outlets. The included adapters are well hidden in a separate box that I almost overlooked. The price would have been quite a bag attached neoprene. The original case for EUR 40, - I will definitely not get me!
