Good reviews and good sound from such a compact device.
Believe it can be used whilst charging which was an important feature for me.
Edit: Also it is an Amazon approved device to work with the Echo Dot.

Personally, I would go for the Flip 3. I have one and like it a lot. It has a nice balanced sound with good bass (though a little EQ tweaking never hurts). It is also a lot more versatile in that it is IPX4 splashproof rated with a rugged build quality, can play up to 10 hours between battery charges, has a speakerphone and you can use the JBL connect app for true stereo pairing with another Flip 3 or 'party mode' with other 'JBL connect' enabled speakers. With the latest firmware update, it also has 'Google Now' (Android) and 'Siri' (iOS) 'push-to-talk' voice integration so once paired to your WiFi enabled mobile phone, you can tell it to play specific songs/artists/playlists, provide weather forecasts, answer any 'what is..?', 'when is..?', who is..?' question etc. Instead of saying "Ok, Google" or "Hey Siri" just hold down the play/pause button and wait for it to beep, then ask away.

It's kind of what you want. You are paying for the name with Bose but the JBL is a nicer size, waterproof, better more balanced sound and stereo output too - I'd take the JBL Flip 3 or UE Boom over this. But some people must have the brand.

Mine arrived yesterday, but there was no UK plug, just US and euro. Anyone else with the same problem?

Mine arrived today. Loving its sound quality and amazed with its loudness. And maintains sound quality at highest volume level.

Bose have a bad reputation in the consumer market space but they are still one of the leaders in live music equipment. Their professional stuff is pretty sublime. Their home products, not so much.

There is a common perception that Bose is one of the best audio brands but it is very average if that. Harman Kardon, Cambridge Audio, Bowers and Wilkins, Bang & Olufsen are so much better in terms of sound quality.

I get what your saying and agree to a certain extent but are you comparing like for like products in a similar price range? There are always going to be superior products if you can afford them. Most of those brands have products at least double the price and I'd be pretty nervy throwing them into a suitcase or taking them to a beach etc

Look out guys, we have an expert in the room!
Cambridge Audio is pretty much a Richer Sounds 'own brand', and ain't all that. B & O products are primarily purchased for their styling, the sound quality is average really - they cannot be fully accepted as audiophile equipment as they even make TVs (or did at least).
Bose hardware is installed at many of the World's most famous landmarks, it can't be that bad, can it?
Also, if you want to sit there and sneer at anyone who fell for the Bose marketing speel, you'd better not own an iPhone or a Dyson!

Its not that Bose audio quality is bad more that it just isn't as good as the marketing and artificially high price tag suggests.
Similar to Beats headphones really, they also actually aren't as bad as many would have you think, just not as good as the high price tag and marketing fools people into thinking.
Personally I wouldn't touch Bose stuff with a bargepole......but each to there own. (and I don't own an iPhone or Dyson either)

We did same . Anker one currently on sale @ Amazon for £39.99 with 4.6 stars ( over 2000 reviews) unless your a music officianardo you https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0109TWZ54/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_af-SybKABXKDM won't be able to tell the difference between anker and bose.

Just a note: The SoundLink Colour 2 is out in the US, and the series 1 is now on sale in the UK.
Not to discount this one. Still a great speaker.

The 2 adds water resistance, a nicer design and a silicone exterior (rather than a cheap plastic one) - looks like it is worth waiting for at the moment if those things add value for a particular buyer.

Back up to £99, tbh prefer my sounddocks, which I've gotten a Bluetooth adaptor for. Better base

27 Feb 17#37
That's the premium you pay for high sound quality over a marketing ploy.
Can these be linked together? So I can get sound from 2+ of them at the same time from the same source?
Nostr0mo1979 to Gozer
26 Feb 171#20
the name sort of suggests it should but according to the Q&A's on Amazon website they sadly don't, unless anyone can confirm otherwise?

Not as far as I can tell, certainly the soundlink mini can't (which is a real shame) and this is the same innards I believe

Only the Blue version is available now. I already have two bluetooth portable speakers so won't be buying but this is a decent price for a Bose. Hot for anyone who wants decent sound quality and doesn't mind their portable speaker not having a speakerphone or any ipx rating.

Black is still £99.95 at Bose - however on PRC direct you can get the Black model for £69.95 inc delivery if you want that colour
Black available for same price here..https://www.tekzone.co.uk/audio/portable/163/bose-soundlink-colour-bluetooth-speaker-in-black?sPartner=121-437-6533

Mini 2. Greater battery life and the mini 2 has two opposing bass speakers to add more depth.

Great find, it's the same innards as the soundlink mini which has excellent sound for something so small. Some will say other speakers are far superior/cheaper and there's an assumption that people only buy Bose for the brand which in some cases is true but in other cases is wrong as this product is a decent item and this is a very decent price.

Now even cheaper than a previously posted deal.
