"I've found the Bose soundlink sounds great at low volumes."

"the roam is lighter than the mini so roam is better for traveling."
The four I own are the Bose soundlink mini. Great sound for the size and take anywhere. The Harmon Kardon go+play 2. Really punchy sound and good separation. The Harmon Kardon go+play 3. More bass than "2" and a much smoother midrange. Can get plenty loud. The Vifa Oslo. Fantastic midrange and clarity. Probably my favorite all around that I own.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • How many Bluetooth Speakers Do You Have? ->JBL Boombox 3 Wifi. A pair of Bose Soundlink Minis.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Those of us with multiple Bluetooth speakers, what are your favorites? ->Go get the w-king D20 for 250 it's the best! I have the bose soundlink mini and a bunch of other Bluetooth speakers and the D20 is the best 200w rms and it is portable...
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Bluetooth speakers ->Bose soundlink mini have had mine for almost a decade now still one of the most impressive small speakers
r/pocketoperators • Affordable low latency portable mini speakers to pair with Pocket Operators? ->I’ve had the Bose Mini Sound Link for 11 years and at the time it was $99 at Costco but I think their price has increased since then. It sill works really well and holds a charge for hours. I’d check Costco for some other recommendations from here they tend to offer a slight discount.
r/BuyItForLife • Portable speaker (ideally bluetooth) ->Was going to suggest Soundlink mini also. I have 2, the original, and the II.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What's the greatest mid sized Bluetooth speaker of all time? ->I would always say Bose soundlink mini mk1 (not mk2!) - you can find it secondhand for about 80€, and it produces unbeatable sound, indoors and outdoors.
r/BudgetAudiophile • I need a budget speaker for my work. ->Very happy with my bose sound link mini. Been going strong for 10+ years
r/Metalcore • Best Bluetooth speakers for the heavy stuff ->Everyone will have their favorite. I know the first time hearing the Beats Pill, and the Bose SoundLink Mini, they were mind blowing to me. My go to "brick" speaker is the Soundcore Boost (2021 upgraded version). I like its confident bass output and the warm midrange and treble balance.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What's the greatest mid sized Bluetooth speaker of all time? ->I have the Bose bluetooth speaker and I love it. Great sound and bass https://www.amazon.com/Bose-SoundLink-Bluetooth-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B00D5Q75RC
r/alterbridge • Home/portable/bluetooth speaker suggestions primarily for around the house ->Soundfreaq Absolutely changed my “uppity” speaker-snob mind. Bose SoundLink Mini as well, to a certain extent. But I go back to early 2000s with my Logitech and Bose iPod sound docks. That was pretty revolutionary for me. I still have my Riva Turbo X from 2015 that sounds damned good for being 10 years old.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What's the greatest mid sized Bluetooth speaker of all time? ->Skullcandy barrel, flip6, motion boom, zealot s67 (customized), bose soundlink mini, soundbot forgot the model, Skullcandy kilo
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • How many Bluetooth Speakers Do You Have? ->I find the Bose to be most pleasing of anything available in the market and did not hear any distortion when testing it thoroughly - waiting for some discount on this side of the world before I buy it !
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What are the Best bluetooth speakers w/ Aux input? ->I’ve got a Bose Soundlink, worth every penny.
r/personalfinanceindia • Are expensive bluetooth speakers worth it? ->Using an old Bose sound link Bluetooth speaker when I need more sound that the mini provides.
r/macmini • Which speakers are you using? ->Bose soundlink is a good option. A little out of your price range, but worth checking out IMO.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Low to No Latency Budget $50-$100 Bluetooth Speakers? ->Yeah, I have the old soundlink and I have no issues with it. I can only imagine the new version is the same if not better.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best Low to No Latency Budget $50-$100 Bluetooth Speakers? ->Flip 6 and Bose SoundLink are both excellent options, but for me personally, after owning both, I’ll go for the Bose. Deeper bass and clarity.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Bluetooth Speaker Suggestion ->The bose isnt bad at all. There plenty out there that actually sound bad. Also its the only thing i've no latency issues or connection issues. Every jbl i've had has had Bluetooth issues, latency, and broken on me. With bose i've never had a single peice of equipment fail on me since my first acoustimass back in the day
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What are the Best bluetooth speakers w/ Aux input? ->I agree as well. I dont experience any distortion at max volumes. Can vary on audio sample quality as well.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • What are the Best bluetooth speakers w/ Aux input? ->I compared Bose SoundLink, Jbl charge 5, Jbl flip 6, Soundcore Motion X600, Klipsch Nashville and HK luna. I chose Luna from all. The best balanced sound for this price range. I found JBL highs to harsh, bose pretty good but not so open , Klipsch missing any lows, and Soundcore...I liked it but when I listened side by side with Luna...well..I ended up with Luna :)
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Thoughts on Harman Kardon Luna? ->I have them. They’re cool to show off to your friends right up until the moment that you turn them on. They have zero depth, zero bass, and really aren’t that loud. My Bose SoundLink sounds 1000x better and is much louder. You’ll get better sound from just turning on your stereo and rolling down the windows. I was highly disappointed. I don’t have any connectivity issues like a lot of people. As soon as I drop the gate, it turns on and immediately starts playing music from my phone. I really wouldn’t spend the money unless you hear one in person and decide it’s worth it. Because it’s not.
r/gmcsierra • Multi pro tailgate speakers ->I love JBL, but BOSE sounds cleaner and better by a fairly large margin.
r/JBL • I reviewed some of the most popular Bluetooth speakers. JBL crushed it. ->I have to say that, for as much as I love the Bose speakers I own, battery drain is far more noticeable than with other brands I own. My Bang & Olufsen speakers have the absolute least battery drain while idle; JBL is great for power retention, too.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Which wireless speaker best holds charge when not in use? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
