Again your point is taken however the Soundlink Mini is amongst the best
Bose speakers around these days, how long since you heard some Bose
speakers and what types did you hear?
The model of Bose Soundlink Mini before this one wasn't all that good
and the latest one sounds so much better as well as having the hands
free speaker phone facility which the previous model didn't have, its
also far better built than the Jawbon Jambox which isn't all steel as
some people think it is, remove the wire mesh and you'll find a plastic
shell - or should I say the wire mesh in the case of my Jawbone came off
and I felt what was underneath - but getting back to Bose.
The Bose Soundlink Bluetooth speaker itself - the bigger version than
the Soundlink Mini - is a little disappointing, overpowering bass but
still not too bad.
If course sound is a very personal thing and again, if you're happy with
what you have then nothing can damn you for that <smile>.
In my opinion if you want great Bluetooth sound then one of the speakers
to look out for is the Bowers And Wolkins T7 but then again, perhaps its
not worth even considering one of these speakers if you have an iPhone
as the iPhone cant make use of the aptX technology the Bowers And
Wilkins T7 uses.
That's not to say that the iPhone won't work with the T7, it works well
but you won't get the best sound out of the T7.

I don’t understand the fascination with Bose, and it seems like it’s
particularly guys that say everyone should have Bose. I’ve heard two
different Bose speakers now, and I am not all that impressed with
their sound.
I don’t understand why my description of my Jabra Solemate is
“telling.” Why is that?
I could also say it only has 3 buttons, plus the on/off switch, plus
it has a human voice that tells you when the battery’s running low.

I'm very glad to hear it was on sale <smile>.
I thinkl your description though is very telling, "SIRI understands me
pretty well" and that's the point, there are a whole heap of devices
out there now which SISI understands far better given they use better
Bluetooth technology, the latest Bose Soundlink Mini is a case in
point but there are others.

I got a Jabra Solemate Bluetooth speaker about a year ago and love
it. It was on sale, and it had really good reviews. I can listen
to music and talk on the phone with it, and Siri understands me
pretty well.

I have to admit the boost in sound quality when I upgraded from
the 5S to the 6 was a huge plus and worth the upgrade for that
reason, Apple have - in my view with the 6 and 6S at least - some
of the best sounding internal speakers available on a mobile phone.
Its a real pity that Apple still won't embrace aptX with Bluetooth
as that would make Bluetooth from an IOS phone absolutely
fantastic and up there with most other manufacturers these days
including Samsung, Asus, LG, Bowers And Wilkins etc.
As far as the Jambox Jawbone goes? Well if you're happy with it
then fine but its a pity because you just don't know what you're
missing as there are other speakers out there the same size that
offer so much more, Jambox Jawbone stuff is nothing more than gimmik.
Yes, I've used one and I had the greatest pleasure in throwing the
unit into the recycle bin a couple of years ago I think it was.
