One of the good things I guess about writing things up is that I get good 
exercise in my fingers given that they have to type on the keyboard  so 
that makes up for people not reading what I wrote.

I wrote about Lossless Bluetooth to the listwhen you first asked about what was 
the best portable Bluetooth speaker system around.

The B&W T7 supports aptX which is a Lossless Bluetooth profile, I also posted a 
link which gives further information.

Unfotunately - at this time - the iPhone doesn't support aptX but Samsung 
devices - and many others - certainly do.

Dane, I'm curious as to your opinion comparing the Bose soundlink that
sells for 300 bucks in the States and the t7. Of course, the t7 should
sound better, given price difference. But knowing you were pretty high
on the SL, I'd be curious. I haven't heard the t7, and with the
expenses we've incurred this spring, one is not in my near future, for
sure!

That is true but still if there is to much highs it kind of ruins music, 
or even movies i have seen that movie and i would agree with you.

Yeah maybe so. Now the soundlink3 has been brought up, Zilla's roar sounds very 
good on that speaker too. Not so much on the Mini one though. I have the mini 
Bose Soundlink and that was one of the first things I tried on it.

Hi There!

The Soundlink III is still a good choice in speaker however - if you're 
device supports aptX - then the B&W T7 is the better way to go, has a 
better sound, tighter bass etc, sharper highs and a more emphasised mid 
range.


Only problem with the T7 is that its a bigger beast than the Soundlink III.

I should also point out that - even if your device doesn't support aptX 
- then the B&W T7 will still be worth the investment, won't sound quite 
as good as it could because of the lack of the aptX support.


I don't know what Apple has planned for its iPhone 7, perhaps the 
Bluetooth aptX support will be amongst the extra features? I sincerley 
hope so.
