BlankI don't have the Soundlink II, I have the original. I have read comparative reviews comparing the Soundlink with the SoundLink II. In general, those reviews say there is slight improvement in the mid and treble range compared to the original. Most of the reviews state it is not worth the difference if you own an original.
There are a few other changes in the new version. There is a bifold cover on the back instead of the wider cover on the original; this allows it to take up less space when opened, but makes it a lot more unstable. There is no improvement in battery life, except that the battery charge indicator is now multi-colored. You cannot charge the speaker via USB port. I would give the Bose a smidgeon better rating on pure sound, although I think the original Jambox has a crisper sound compared with the original SoundLink. As to useability, there is frankly no comparison. As I've stated before (list archives), the Jambox is an order of magnitude more user friendly. I don't have bluetooth issues with the Jambox, while I occasionally have problems getting the Bose to pair, even when my device was the last to use it. Since I'm often by the speaker, I like the fact that you can rewind, fast-forward, skip, etc. songs using the speaker's controls. You can't do that with the Bose.
