    I'd stay from Bose, sale or not. Lots of money spent on marketing rather than product development. A bit like Beats in that regard.
    Very overpriced for what you get.

    What would you suggest, sound quality-wise?

    By typing Bose Revolve Speaker into Amazon ya lazy git! :P

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bose-SoundLink-Revolve-Bluetooth-Speaker/dp/B06XP9ZFTN/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1542506861&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=bose+revolve+speaker&dpPl=1&dpID=41au3Qr7M4L&ref=plSrch


    Just make sure it has the £40 off promotion underneath to make sure you're buying it from amazon.

    I did that, but it didn't come back as £115, that's why I asked.

    Ah no problem, it should do it when you check out.

    To answer your other question the Anker Soundcore Boost is a Great little speaker that destroys the Bose Sound link series.

    You can watch and listen to a comparison video here from the best Bluetooth speaker reviewer on YouTube.

    I'd recommend wearing the best headphones you have to hear the difference.

    £149.99 was the cheapest it went to at the latest stage of checkout.

    Good to know. I'll check the Anker Soundcore Boost out.

    I wish Bose Soundlink Mini II was on the discount, I'd pick one up.

    Apart from their noise cancelling headphones which are regarded as market leading.

    A bit of a sweeping statement from you.

    Fast for sub 250 is not enough even for Android tablet. You might want to look into second hand devices instead.

    Top of my list over the next week or so is the Garmin Dash Cam 55.

    It's GBP119 currently which is the lowest it's been so not sure whether to pull the trigger or not. :confused:

    Any opinions on whether it'll drop further?

    Actually the sonys are a fair step ahead the xm2 and xm3 are better still.

    I would not agree. I did a test of both and preferred Bose in music, noise cancelling was about the same. Sony emphasis highs and lows but mids are recessed. Bose is more balanced with better mids.

    Very Basic. Drawback is that its 11.5in screen.

    Just two add to this... The anker is not a better sounding speaker than the bose. I have both and the bose sounds a good bit better. But for the price anker is a steal... Does the bose sound a £100+ better, no. But I still wouldn't be without mine... Use it waaaaaay more than the anker.

    Yeah i was comparing it to the Soundlink Mini and Soundlink Mini II, not the Soundlink Revolve.

    I have no idea how the Revolve compares.

    How do I get this?

    Checked this today and the additional discount is gone. It cost me £115 after discount on Thursday. Worth keeping an eye on in case it changes again.

    Pulled the trigger on the Bose QuietComfort 25 cans. Already have a set of Sony noise-cancelling headphones but this price was too good to pass up.

    It says order is ordered but the dispatched box hasn’t been ticked yet. So I’m none the wiser really.

    The same thing happened to me also Misha when I bought a Seagate hard drive on Friday.

    Got charged, was refunded and got charged again.

    You should be fine now.
