The first Soundlink Mini of the name had marked the sensational arrival of Bose in the world of nomadic speakers. Version II therefore has everything to be an excellent portable speaker.
Even if Bose did not take many risks, the manufacturer remains at the top level with this new SoundLink Mini II. It offers a beautiful construction and above all an excellent sound reproduction, and this, in a very compact volume.
Strong points
- Powerful.
- Amazing low frequency reproduction for such a small size.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
No upheaval for this second version of Emberton Marshall. Although the manufacturer’s portable speaker has inherited a few improvements that slightly enrich the user experience, it is still a long way from truly surpassing its predecessor… and climbing onto the podium of the very best portable speakers. This would have required refining its sound rendering by making it softer, more natural and more precise.
