Hi!
They seem to have implimented tts on the headphones too.
Atleast on my Qc 35.
It can be a bit annoying but it tells the battery level and such but i haven’t 
read the manual yet as its cluttered.

Against the original mini. They said the mini has more bass then the mini 2.
Oh yeah the System 3 has super epic bass. Super crisp highs and everything.
But that 1's big. I know that 1 my sister Johana use to have 1. I listened
to Godzilla 1998 on it. That's why I know the highs were good. Cause when it
does what's called the tornado blast roar the SL system 3 really showed the
hi whistely part of the roar real well. That's how I test for highs. The
Godzilla 1998 tornado blast.

That's a fairly general statement but probably true nevertheless.

Lacks some bass but who says so and against what? The Bose Soundlink Mini is
an incredibly tiny speaker so - given that point alone - its bound to lack
some bass when compared to the bigger models such as the Bose Soundlink
itself or the Bowers And Wilkins T7.

Let the truth be told most Bluetooth speaker systems lack bass, typically
the frequency range only goes down to 100HZ these days, not good if you
enjoy your music.

Having said all that however the new Bose Soundlink Mini has increased mid
range and highs and - for Bose - that can only be a really good thing!

Watch for sales, if you are particularly interested in that speaker from 
Cambridge SoundWorks. I purchased it a few months ago from I can't remember, 
Amazon or Best Buy, and it was in the 60s. It pays to look for sales.

RE: bluetooth speaker recomendations

[Rick Alfaro]

How much are you willing to spend? I'm not a fan of Bose speakers either. A
few months ago I purchased the Cambridge SoundWorks OontZ Angle 3XL from
Amazon for $99. It has an excellent sound and packs 20 watts of power. It
looks like it's at $109 right now. Here is the link if you want  to check it
out.

I admit to giving up following the Bluetooth speaker market these days as
there are literally hundreds and hundreds of Bluetooth Speakers out there in
all shapes and sizes for pretty much all budgets so in my view you've really
got to ask yourself what your exact needs are for a Bluetooth speaker.
The new Bose SoundlinkMini is supposed to have improved audio over the old
one, I have the older model and quite like it, wonderful sound for something
that small.
The build quality is very nice to and I believe that build has carried over
to the new model, tough aluminum frame.
It would appear that 95% of Bluetooth speakers out there aren't really aimed
at those who enjoy good sound so if good sound is your aim then the market
narrows considerably when it comes to portable speakers and we find the size
going up a little here to accommodate the laws of physics.
The Bowers and Wilkins T7 I'm pleased to note has dropped in price and
that's a real portable powerhouse, the party can proceed for around 19 hours
before the battery runs out.
The T7 shows off quality sound and you can certainly hear the difference
between MP3 and Lossless file types if you're using an AptX device paired
with this thing, truly amazing.
If you're looking at units incorporating Hands Free speakerphones then there
are plenty of those, the new Bose Soundlink Mini being one.
The Soundlink Mini now has a TTS speech engine on board to guide you through
the process of pairing it with your Phone or whatever, a bit of a gimmick in
my opinion but its there so make use of it.O One Bluetooth speaker I never
liked and thought was very much over rated was the Jawbone Jambox, you can
certainly buy better than that.

RE: bluetooth speaker recomendations

My nephew 
Andrew has the Beats Pill and it's okay. There's the dancing watter blu
tooth speakers and they are only 20 something dolars. I got a pare of these
from a girl that use to come around selling stuff. They were okay for what
they were. I do like bose so the watter 1s didn't do much for me. Other then
the fact that there's true separation as there are 2 actual separate
speakers. So they were better for the mixes I make from the audio from DVDs
I create from stuff I extract with DVD Audio Extractor.
