Expert review by : Andrew Williams (trustedreviews.com)
The Bose SoundLink Mini II is a small Bluetooth speaker. It isn't small enough that you'll carry it with you every day, and you're definitely not going to fit it in a pocket.
Power and refinement from a tiny box ; Great charge dock
No aptX or NFC ; Cheaper alternatives are available
There are plenty of cheaper alternatives out there, but the Bose SoundLink Mini II is the best wireless speaker in this class right now.

Bose's diminutive Bluetooth speaker offers great portability and a weighty, bassy sound...
Full-bodied sound ; Weighty bass ; Portable
Lows lack precision and agility
If you’re after a fully portable speaker that doesn't scrimp on bass weight, the SoundLink Mini II could be for you

What's the best product Bose has ever made? That's hard to say, but a case can be made for the SoundLink Mini , the company's 2013 compact Bluetooth speaker that features impressive build quality and sound for its size and isn't too outrageously priced...
The Bose SoundLink Mini II is a very sleek, compact wireless Bluetooth speaker that sounds great for its small size. It also has excellent build quality with a unibody aluminum enclosure, and it includes a charging cradle that you can leave plugged in.
There's no real stereo separation, and you can't pair two speakers together.
Bose SoundLink Mini II remains one the few standout products in the ultracompact wireless speaker category, featuring a top-notch design and very good sound for its tiny size.

This new model replaces the discontinued first generation SoundLink Mini. It looks pretty much identical - the same compact body - but can such a small speaker produce a big enough sound? Find out in our expert review.
Expert review by : Tony Ibrahim (goodgearguide.com.au)
Big sound from a small body, but the proposition is made less attractive by a premium price
Excellent build quality ; Voluminous sound fit for a mid-sized room ; Voice guided Bluetooth pairing ; Long lasting battery life
Sound quality is limited by its size ; Dangerous price point with rivalling models offering expanded functionality at a lower price

The tiny Bose SoundLink Mini II delivers the richest bass you'll find in a portable Bluetooth speaker this size, while managing to stay balanced with crisp highs.

The Bose SoundLink Mini II was our previous Editors' Choice Award recipient before its successor, the the melodious SoundLink Revolve, usurped that honor...
The Bose SoundLink Mini II was the best sounding Bluetooth speaker around until Bose replaced it with the . If you don't care about water resistance
Expert review by : Josh Smith (gottabemobile.com)
Simply put the Bose SoundLink Mini II is one of the best performing Bluetooth speakers we’ve tested and it excels in all the areas that we expect for a $200 Bluetooth speaker. You can buy a cheaper Bluetooth speaker and you can spend more, but if you...
