The Braven fell relatively quickly, because it is simply very weak sounds ... more like a portable radio and not in the same league as Bose or the Loewe. The SoundLink 2 is currently reduced, "roars" but very quickly in comparison and does not sound really open. SoundLink 3 is better suited but Bose typically much bass and depending on Music fast annoying exaggerated heights. Causes me hurt your ears after prolonged listening. The lion has not the "oomph" but as the SoundLink 3 is, for at low volume most agreeable and you can also listen to web radio relaxed (where Bose vote with the voices extremely negative attention). The bass loudspeaker is active as opposed to the Bose (passive radiator) and a closer and more balanced, but the volume weaker. The processing and the material is also high (Alu against metal and plastic) and there are some nice freebies such as loading external devices, phone hands-free, NFC pairing and the little support that was very positive for me because simple robust and effective. Fact: Sound between both a matter of taste! When using area clear case: if you want sound for the WG Party accesses Bose, who daily and also traveling would like to hear where it does not depend on extreme volume, should the Loewe hear!
