Very bad for this brand and this price

Nice sound with deep bass for such a small speaker
Looks sleek and unobtrusive
Improper handling of the charged battery

I returned it the day after purchase because I'd fully charged the battery before going to bed, turned the speaker off completely, and the next morning the battery had already dropped to 80%. I looked this up afterward, and it turned out to be a common issue with this speaker.

Super

good sound and high volume, nice bass, provided the media quality is good (high bitrate)
Nice design, feels nice that rubber coating
Can be connected to a 3.5mm jack cable
quite heavy

I have 2 Bose SoundLinks. --With a simple jack-tulip cable splitter you have 2 times stereo. --With 2 single tulip to jack cables (L and R), you have L and R split over 2 speakers --With the jack connection you have direct sound. You can not DJ mix via bluetooth, because of the 1 second sound delay

Nice sound but too bad about the battery

Solidly built
Nice full sound
Sound can be adjusted well
Battery not replaceable

This is my second Bose Bluetooth box, and I am again very satisfied with the sound. The previous box had a broken battery and was a disaster to replace. That's why I actually didn't want to take a Bose anymore, but in the end I went for the sound quality again
