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.

Nice sound but too bad about the battery

  • Solidly built
  • Nice full sound
  • Sound can be adjusted well
  • Battery not replaceable

This is my second Bose Bluetooth box, and I am again very satisfied with the sound. The previous box had a broken battery and was a disaster to replace. That's why I actually didn't want to take a Bose anymore, but in the end I went for the sound quality again
