Interesting comment, thanks. I just want something that I can use when not stuck at the computer and not stuck in the lounge. The audio quality only has to be decent, and I’m happy. Given my hearing condition isn’t great, I’m sure I’ll manage to get along with it.
Yes, I did mean Bose, sorry about that. I looked for the T7 actually, but didn’t come across it anywhere. But not to worry, my voice is made and I’m sure I’ll be fine with it. The advert says 14 hours per charge cycle but, of course, that only applies to some circumstances. In my experience, the actual charge cycle is always somewhat less than the manufacturer’s claim. Anyway, we’ll see how we go tonight. I wasn’t fussed about a speaker phone, I don’t intend using the thing for that anyway. If I take phone calls, I want them to be private, so the very last thing IO’d use is a speaker phone! ======================================== My compliments and kindest regards Gordon Smith: <[email protected]> Accessibility & Information Technology Support Specialist.

I think you have some of the name wrong, do you mean Bose Soundlink 3? B&W - Bowers And Wilkins - make the T7 Bluetooth speaker. I had a Bose Soundlink 3 not all that long ago and - on the whole - I was very happy with it. The Soundlink 3 is a nicely presented Bluetooth speaker in my view, not too big and not too small, you might want to purchase an optional protective carry back as the front and back consist of a metal grill. The speaker is easy enough to operate, a power on button, a bluetooth pairing button and an Aux-In selection button at one end, mute, volume down and volume up buttons at the other. The buttones are tactile so you'll easily identify them. The Soundlink 3 has its own wall charger so cannot be charged by a USB port. The speaker does however have a USB port for updating the firmware though I never bothered with this in the time I had my Soundlink 3. The speaker can be driven very loud. Battery life is reasonable, you'll get around 10 hours out of the Speaker, nothing spectacular but reasonable all the same. Now to the personal details I suppose, i've given the Soundlink 3 a good wrap and will continue to do so, why did I rid myself of the speaker? Again, the Bose Soundlink 3 is great for what it is and I take this view from a price view and an audio view but it can be bettered for a little more money by speakers such as the B&W T7 which is slightly smaller. Where the Bose Soundlink 3 is let down sonically in my view is with its overpowering bass which tends to maks the other sounds in the spectrum. A lot of people like this it would seem but I'm not a fan of overpowering bass much and try to avoid it if possible, when I'm listening to music I want to hear all the spectrum and not have influenced On 18/02/2017 2:40 AM, by any particular end, the B&W T7 provides a flatter and more honest response. Bose annoy me with the specifications for their spekers actually as they're not totally honest with the consumer and let's take an example. With the B&W T7 and most other Bluetooth speakers you're told about the implimentation of Bluetooth, what sort of Bluetooth system the speaker uses, what Bluetooth Profile the speaker supports and so on, not important I hear you say? Well no this probably isn't for a lot of people but for me this sort of information is very important. I love my music and I want to hear my music at its best - hwen I'm on the go or outside I want to hear my music in as fine a detail - if at all possible - as I do inside - so knowing that a Bluetooth speaker will provide the detail is important. Bose doesn't give you much information so we can only assume that the Bose Soundlink 3 doesn't provide lossless transfer between say smartphone and Speaker and yes, there is a difference particularly when you're used to listening to lossless FLAC or Wave files. With MP3 files and so on they actually sound worse! through a Bluetooth Speaker system that doesn't support a Lossless data transfer as the music - having already been compressed once - is compressed yet again. How do you know if your speaker system supports lossless data transfer? Those speakers marked with aptX are what you should look for and thus Smartphones etc providing Bluetooth aptX are what you should have. Thankfully aptX is common in many speakers/devices these days along with many Smartphones and computers - Apple or Bose not amongst them though -. So enjoy your Bose, I certainly did when I had mine and The Old Man is enjoying it now.
