    Bose are crap, overpriced. I got a better Anker bargain alert on here for €30ish on Amazon

    Nobody really cares if you think Bose are crap or not. This is a bargain alert thread, not a "give me opinions on the Soundlink II" thread. It's sh!tty responses like this that stop people posting bargain alerts. For anybody who is looking to buy a Soundlink II, this is good value.

    I have both a Soundlink II and a good Anker speaker in my house, and the Bose is certainly not crap. It's better than the Anker, and the Anker isn't a bad speaker

    Maybe, I have 2 of them no issues. In fact we've plenty of Anker products, cables etc. They're always great quality

    Anker products are great for the price, but the Bose speaker is better. Though Bose have changed to Malaysia for their manufacturing, I believe, and it's not as high quality as it used to be when they were manufactured in Mexico. I've heard older versions of this speaker compared to the newer version and the former definitely sounds better. Maybe they have since changed back manufacturing again, I don't know.

    Bose are a long time cutting corners on quality. I'm unfortunate enough to have got sucked in by a Mazda with an 11 speaker Bose system. The drivers door speaker blew so I took of the card off the door to find a sh1te Bose speaker with a light paper cone. It even has a proprietary connector. I tried every scrap yard and part finder to be told they fly out the door, the dealers snap them up as it's well known.

    I’ve used Bose noise canceling headphones and home cinema systems for many years. I recommend them very highly.

    I’m not familiar with this system but techrader consider the Bose SoundLink MIni II... one of the best-sounding wireless speakers we’ve ever heard.

    You really don't like Bose.

    Yeah well one time they meant quality, which is no longer guaranteed. They still make some decent products, but a lot of crap also

    I bought one of these about 6 months ago and it’s top quality. I’d highly recommend it to anybody and that’s the best price I’ve ever seen it at!

    Not true, Ive used plenty of Bose products and they’ve always been top notch. Their noise canceling headphones are unreal.

    Even if it is 'crap', the OP posted some crap that's cheaper than it normally retails for so there's no question about it.

    Have Bose speaker and find it great so bose ain't 'crap'.

    As a sniffy dealer once said:
    Bose. Boom and hiss dear boy, boom and hiss

    But for a 150 quid or so table mounted box don't expect high-fidelity. Grand for casual listening.

    I bought a Soundlink Mini II about 3 years ago, and it remains one of my favourite purchases ever.
    Used every day, inside and out, taken on every trip.

    Was acting a bit flaky last month. After a quick Google plugged it into my laptop and updated the firmware. Perfect again.

    Great price.

    (The Soundlink Mini III is an example of screwing with great design to make something functionally worse.)
