I admit to giving up following the Bluetooth speaker market these days
as there are literally hundreds and hundreds of Bluetooth Speakers out
there in all shapes and sizes for pretty much all budgets so in my view
you've really got to ask yourself what your exact needs are for a
Bluetooth speaker.
The new Bose SoundlinkMini is supposed to have improved audio over the
old one, I have the older model and quite like it, wonderful sound for
something that small.
The build quality is very nice to and I believe that build has carried
over to the new model, tough aluminum frame.
It would appear that 95% of Bluetooth speakers out there aren't really
aimed at those who enjoy good sound so if good sound is your aim then
the market narrows considerably when it comes to portable speakers and
we find the size going up a little here to accommodate the laws of physics.
The Bowers and Wilkins T7 I'm pleased to note has dropped in price and
that's a real portable powerhouse, the party can proceed for around 19
hours before the battery runs out.
The T7 shows off quality sound and you can certainly hear the difference
between MP3 and Lossless file types if you're using an AptX device
paired with this thing, truly amazing.
If you're looking at units incorporating Hands Free speakerphones then
there are plenty of those, the new Bose Soundlink Mini being one.
The Soundlink Mini now has a TTS speech engine on board to guide you
through the process of pairing it with your Phone or whatever, a bit of
a gimmick in my opinion but its there so make use of it.O
One Bluetooth speaker I never liked and thought was very much over rated
was the Jawbone Jambox, you can certainly buy better than that.

Hi. What are people recomending for a decent bluetooth speaker which
will not break the bank, but has a decent sound? The Bose has a new
one which is cheaper than ths Sound Link II, so I am considering that,
but any other suggestions would be appreciated. The Bose sound is not
my favorite.
