Again I repeat, if you like Bose then that’s totally up to you but they are certainly not the best by any manner of means and - if you pay for a Bose something - then most likely you can get something far better for the same price, that’s just the way it is.
Having said all that I doubt whether the Bose Bluetooth Soundlink Mini can easily be beaten for its price but the SoundLink III certainly can, the B&W T7. > On 5 Oct 2015, at 10:06 AM, Hamit Campos <hamitcam...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Yeah it's true.
