Did you read what I quoted?

They review HDMI cables. With terms like "deep blacks" and "crisp audio".

Not exactly word perfect, but hopefully you get the picture.

Don't forget £5 voucher :smiley:

I'd take their reviews with a dash of salt.

Delighted with my bargain, sounds fab, but does anyone know how to stop email/txt alert sounds coming through while playing music?... sooooo annoying that the sound dips and my txt/email jingle goes off while I'm singing me head off whilst doin the dishes?? :smile:

this has reduced all over due to the next version of the speaker coming out next week. looking at the reviews, the new one doesnt seem that much better, so think worth getting this one while its pretty much half price to what the version 2 will be when released....

are these multi room speakers? so can play on multiples at the same time?

Just bought one. Joined this site to save money and all the impulse buys have been adding up. Not complaining :smiley:

I have the Bose Sounddock XT - is it worth getting this instead?

This or jbl flip 3?

Don't really need a speaker but had to buy this. Great bit of kit.

Been looking at these a while as BiL has one. and low and behold my Soundface speaker started making funny noises yesterday, think I popped it. lol. so picked one up today fast track at Argos. cheers OP

Sounds really good for the size.

Ugh.... Bloody Amazon!

At this great price I thought I would treat myself and purchase one, as the Amazon price match link was posted in the thread I thought that would be the best option as I have prime.

When i purchased the speaker it said that they were still in stock, payment went through ok etc. However, on the Amazon tracker, the package was due to be delivered by the end of the day....but it said that the package had yet to be dispatched.... great...

So, i phoned Amazon (the purchase was made through Amazon EU S.a.r.L). I was told that it was out of stock and they claimed it was the fault of Bose.... and they had now idea when the speaker would come back into stock.

So, I shouted...she said that there was nothing she could do

I shouted again....she offered me a £5 voucher

Some more shouting.... I was given a £10 voucher.

Still really annoyed.

I was almost tempted to get another of these as mine is a mint green and I've always wanted the black one!

This is my favourite Bluetooth speaker - great battery life, reliable connection, ability to switch between paired devices by just tapping the Bluetooth button. No handsfree capability - which in my eyes is a bonus (I don't really want calls coming through my speaker during a party or barbecue). Best of all the sound reminds me of a quality Roberts radio from the early 90s: not overly bassy or generally trying to achieve anything beyond its size - just solid, quality sound.

Read some horror stories about the battery being duff in these, make a note in your diary for 11 months - just in case ;-)

I've had a number of hdmi cables and have ended up buying not the budget ones after having issues with hdcp handshaking for those. In my mind that was due to the hdcp not being correctly transmitted (not getting through ;-) which was fixed when using neet cables. It was a simplification but as you conceded, cheap cables are likely, if anything, to just give you macro issues (no picture/sound or wholesale dropouts) rather than subtle defects. TBH i find hdmi to be damned sensitive to dodgy cables but you don't need to spend hundreds, just enough to avoid the real cheap tat with the shielding/termination issues you mention. I've used neet very successfully and a heavily discounted mark grant one for a 10m run to the projector.

Gret find! Reserved it at Argos, yet they tried to charge £99 and then said it's out of stock. Upon summoning the manager, he quickly found one and changed the price back to £64.99 + fiver voucher.

Incredible sound by the way, nothing compares to Soundlink, we've tried harman-kardon, creative, jbl, ue and aether cone and simply, all of them sound like a joke once you've heard bose.

Just picked mine up from Argos! Thanks OP!

It really isn't that simple. A poorly constructed or shielded or terminated cable can lead to greater EBR (error bit rate) which *can* lead to incorrect display or audio data. You may be pushed to see it, and of course, if it's really badly made or damaged you may not even get a signal, but the binary concept of 'signal gets through or it doesn't' really is an over simplification. Conversely, a $150 HDMI cable won't improve the picture quality or deliver "deeper blacks". So you're right, but in a somewhat simplistic way .:-)

Same price @Very I got mine for £34.99 with code: LGAPP
£30 voucher only works on certain accounts but worth a try

Exactly!

Heat added been dying to try Bose for ages, and at this price it would be rude not too, had to order white as black not available but I think I can live with that! Can't wait to try it. Thanks

I got one from Amazon when they were under a tenner a few days ago

All the above statements on a cable carrying a digital signal which either gets through or doesn't. Utter tosh.

John Lewis has price matched £64.99.

Both black and white models

Bought Jbl Go from curry's in September for 9,75 each.. I have 2 left.. Other 2 went on eBay for 25£each:). As a review.. Great little things, but loud and nice sound and battery last 5 to 6 hrs

I've got the bolse one, brilliant for the price, it lives at the family caravan.... highly recommended! :smiley:

Would the sound from this be better than the aether cone? Just looking for something cheap for music in the kitchen.

Did I need one?..... Nope
Did I have the willpower to refrain from another impulse buy...... Nope
So did I reserve one..... Errrr Yeah!!! :laughing:
Well it's not every day you can get a brand new Bose bargain for £65!..... you only live once and all that! :wink:
Ta for posting op, heat added xx

I see there's a version 2 coming out hence the reductions in price on these in the last month or so... this seems like a realy bargain.

Would this sound better than my built in TV speakers? (and if so is there a way to connect using a wire rather than the battery?)

I will be using it as a portable speaker too but was on about a sound bar for my TV recently too so if this covers that it would be ideal!

Great deal thankyou. Just picked one up. Sounds fantastic !

Definitely didn't need this but couldn't resist when I saw they had stock just down the road. HUKD hits the wallet again :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for the heads-up. Bagged! :smiley:

Just reserved the last Bose speaker in black, Portsmouth :smiley:

Bose are quality simple .

Publishers. Advertisers. Nuff said.

Just bought one, thanks for linking.

Now price matched on Amazon
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bose-SoundLink-Colour-Bluetooth-Speaker/dp/B00M96E0EA

FGS, I don't need a new bluetooth speaker at all, but for this price i'm gonna end up buying one :') Cheers OP!

I have one of these for this price it's bang on nice clear audio bass is also decent and sounds ok outside, also battery life is very good around 8 hours I think I also have a b&o play A2 which is 5 times the price obviously sounds better but battery life is pitiful only 2-3 hours if that. Also has a line in port so using that instead of Bluetooth could save some juice

Yes, I did. However, I was asking you to expand on what you meant.

You have placed "deep blacks" and "crisp audio" in quotation marks. Therefore, I presume that is a direct reference to what What HiFi said about an HDMI Cable? I searched on Google, but couldn't find any of their reviews or articles which said that. Perhaps you could point us in the right direction?

So the new one is due out soon looking at the Bose web site, has a built in mic for integration from Siri, Google etc, but RRP of £129, that's double the price... can't see the new one being that much of an improvement !

Would this work nicely with an amazon dot? TIA

Don't bother with their rip-off cases - get them from eBay instead from only £6 each (UK-based sellers) - a few examples below:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252693691489
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192039338210
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282319606255
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282300768279

could do with a case , hopefully they will drop from £20.00 at some point soon...

Fair enough. They do seem to be in the minority with their average review.

Other sites seem to be quite impressed with the sound quality.

Might give this a go then!

Fancy one of these... ordered !
What hifi are paid for reviews, I'll decide with my ears later today....
Thanks op

"Pinch of salt". Why?

How decent are these? The What Hi Fi review doesn't seem to be too favorable...
