After about 6 months to 1 year, the speakers started turning off randomly. If not charging/placed in the dock, it now turns off every 5-10 minutes. Searching forums this appears to a common problem and the warranty is useless. When in the dock, it makes a horrible noise at the same frequency. Turning it back on became so frustrating I just stopped using it. The sound quality is good for this size compared to other products, but pales in comparison to, say, the sounddock. I would not recommend this product, in fact, would highly suggest you avoid.

My mom owns the Soundlink Mini 2 and I was so amazed by the sound quality I bought one for myself! Do yourself a favor and read the owners manual (At bottom of page) and you can see valuable notes that will help you in your decision. For example, it specifically states this speaker is for indoors only. Take a look for yourself and learn a little more about it.

I've owned this item for 5 days now. I am very impressed. I initially bought the Beats Pill 2.0. It lacked good clarity and bass, in my opinion, so I exchanged it for the Bose. Well worth the $60 more I had to pay. Excellent treble, midrange and especially bass. Very easy setup, and now that it's setup, immediate pairing when I turn on the Bluetooth on my Galaxy Note 5. Build quality is outstanding, though I did buy one of the Bose covers for extra protection. The multifunction button works well for taking calls, pausing the music and going forward or back on my song list. Battery life is excellent. Overall, a great buy. I never thought such good sound could come from a small package. This is my second Bose purchase after buying the Cinemate 15 for my television, and I couldn't be happier with the sound and quality from both. I highly recommend it.

I love this speaker .. I use it when i go out or when im at home .. The battery lasts me for a good week and half .. I recomend this speaker for any one .. Best sound and high quality meterials .. I trust bose and cant go wrong with them .. Best for your money i would say.

Disappointed with this speaker. My brother and I received this speaker for Christmas a couple years back and several months after receiving the speaker both of our speakers would sometimes not turn on when we pressed the power button. At first I thought the battery had died and it needed to be charged, but whenever it was placed on the charger and immediately turned it on it would tell me that the battery was 60% or sometimes higher. It has only gotten worse over the past couple of years and now will not maintain bluetooth connection. In the middle of playing a song it will disconnect and then reconnect a few seconds later. I have to go and press the play button on my phone for it to begin playing again and then the same thing will occur several minutes later. The sound quality is great when it does play, I have absolutely no complaints about that. I just wish the power button would work when there is a charge and whatever I am using to play music through the speaker would remain connected (this happens with my phone, iPad, and other devices, so I don't believe my phone is the cause).

Bought this a few days ago and it's awesome. I previously bought a beats pill and had it for 2days before it broke. The quality of the sound link mini is so much better than the beats pill. The bass is amazing. Buying this speaker made my life compleat

I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of the sound produced by this unit. But a serious deficiency exists in it's compatibility - It does not seem to be Airplay compatible. An inability to send music from my Apple device to multiple speakers via Airplay is a big issue for me. The only reason I think of is Bose and Apple having a spat of some kind. Most quality speaker and sound device companies have gotten over Apple's position in the business and realized it is to their benefit to have their devices play nice with Apple's. I would love to have Bose or someone reading this review tell me I am wrong and there is a reasonably cost efficient way to resolve this.

I've had the original soundlink for at least a few years and live it. Superior quality sound and the versatility has allowed me to enjoy XM out in the field and while doing chores. Just today on our way to our parents house I left it on the top of the Tahoe. 60 miles an hour down the road and I saw it go tumbling down the road! Only the corners are dinged up a bit and best of all it still works perfectly fine. That is why I am writing this review.

Have had this since Christmas 2015, and could never have received a sound system that met my needs as this one does.... We travel internationally quite a lot, and find that regardless of where we may be at any given time, we always enjoy our own music.... This allows us not only to bring it with us, but to play it whenever we choose to do so....

When used outside , for example: inside a bus or in a football match, it lacks volume, but when used inside this thing is insane big rooms can be covered with no problem, beats the every single other speaker you can think of. It does not distorts when it is in max volume and there is no single difference between bluetooth and aux which i thought there would be, bluetooth range is really great, 3 walls in between me and the soundlink and there was no problem. Finally everything sounds perfect, no matter what genre you like it will sound great. Undoubtedly it is awesome in every way. PD: the aluminium house scratches really, REALLY easily
