The difference is noticeablethat's about the only way I can describe it.

On the other end of the spectrum - if you're on a budget and you're looking for a good Bluetooth speaker - the Amazon Echo Tap in my view certainly ticks many boxes.

Sound isn't the quality of what we're talking about here but no one can deny that it sounds incredible for what it is and certainly has the functionality to back it up.

So how mucch of the origenal bass did Bose cut from the 2? Cause the origenal Mini which I have has pretty cinimatic bass for something so small like Dane said.

Hi!

I saw the Bose Soundlink Mini II for the first time today and I came away satisfied with what I'd heard.

I owned the original Bose Soundlink Mini speaker which I thought to be very good, a little bass heavy - as Bose products are - but an incredibly powerful sounding unit for the size.

The Soundlink Mini II sounds very similar though the mid range seems to have a little more presence which adds to the subtlety and the charm of the sound.

Its worth noting the differences between the original Soundlink Mini and newer model.

The Soundlink Mini didn't have a TTS - Text To Speech - module built-in whereas the Soundlink Mini II does and one of the nice features here is that - when powered up - the soundlink Mini II tells you what device it has paired with, something that no other Bluetooth speaker I've ever owned has done - I don't think even the Jawbone Jambox did that - so a very nice touch particularly if you plan to use the Mini II with multiple speakers.

The Mini II can be charged from a USB power source - whether that be a power adapter or powerbank - whereas the original Bose Soundlink Mini could not, you had to carry about the 12 volt AC adapter.

Build quality is about the same, the nice rugged alaminium body though I'd still recommend a carry case or rubber sleeve if you plan to carry this beast about.

The original Mini had a dedicated Aux-In source button whereas the button has disappeared on the newer model, connecting a patch cord to the Aux-In socket automatically switches the source to that mode.

The Mini II has a microphone so can be used as a convenient hands free speakerphone with your paired device, unfortunately I wasn't in a position to try out this feature.

The Bose Soundlink Mini II still comes at a premium price of nearly 300 Australian dollars but you certainly get what you pay for with this little mite if you're wanting a powerful sound.

I still have a few gripes with Bose and one of the main being the decision by Bose not to use AptX decoding on any of their speakers, something that IOS users probably won't bother about but Android users are probably used to by now, having AptX makes all the difference if your passion is to listen to music with all its detail and perhaps the thought from Bose is that - with such a speaker as this - you can't hear all the detail?
