I still have the [1st gen Soundlink Mobile](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:BOSE_SoundLink.JPG) from 2011 in use as a PC-Speaker! [https://youtu.be/Nz\_2ZO3\_r84?si=osGKtwZB9IWToflG](https://youtu.be/Nz_2ZO3_r84?si=osGKtwZB9IWToflG)

We have one of those still going that is older than 2017. Not sure when we bought it, but have had it forever. Only travel speaker we take on our adventures.

Diggin my Bose Soundlink. Thin for portability. The bass isn't mind blowing but I was surprised for the size. Sounds great.

I do. for me. so I'm the guy who rarely listens to music around others. I don't like listening to others music especially out side, at a park or beach for example. so I don't listen to my music loud out of consideration. this little bose unit sounds great to just chill with on the back porch, not loud enough for the neighbors to hear but it's able to reproduce great sound at moderate levels. I like this flatter form over the round speakers, it will pack better. if it packs better the chance is higher it will go more places with me.

Yes. I can hear the bass at low volumes. All frequencies are well produced.

I have several models of Bose Soundlink, left one at my previous work facility, all have lasted years and all are in excellent working order. Great sound, and at least 10+ different employees linked to one of them without issue.
