Super

  • good sound and high volume, nice bass, provided the media quality is good (high bitrate)
  • Nice design, feels nice that rubber coating
  • Can be connected to a 3.5mm jack cable
  • quite heavy

I have 2 Bose SoundLinks. --With a simple jack-tulip cable splitter you have 2 times stereo. --With 2 single tulip to jack cables (L and R), you have L and R split over 2 speakers --With the jack connection you have direct sound. You can not DJ mix via bluetooth, because of the 1 second sound delay

A bit more expensive, but then you get something

  • Audio jack in
  • Robust device
  • Good sound and volume
  • Limited equalizer options via the app

I bought this device as part of an audio travel kit, but it also had to be able to serve as a Bluetooth speaker at home. I generally don't like Bluetooth speakers: most sound either like a cookie jar or too heavy in the bass, without detail, and are even worse at high and low volumes. I take a Soundburger and Discman with me when I travel, because I always buy vinyl or CDs somewhere. The sound of this device is really good. The volume is good enough to fill a medium-sized room. No bass to drown out everything, but you can adjust the bass and treble settings via the app. I am satisfied with my purchase, even though this device is a bit more expensive than other similar devices.
