Bose TV Speaker Small Soundbar with Bluetooth Connectivity

 This arrived double boxed and extremely well packed and protected with the speaker inside a bespoke Bose branded lift top box, this contained the speaker on the top with power lead, optical lead, remote control and instructions on the bottom. The instruction are simple and clear to get it set up having linked diagrams for identification and gives an online link for a more in depth breakdown of functions, features and adjusting settings which is very comprehensive.

First impressions: the speaker has a very good weight to it around 3kg sitting nicely in front of my television and the quality is clear to see and feel straight away, the remote control is simple and clear not being overly cluttered with non functional buttons which is the case with some, I like how the cable sockets are situated into a recess in the back and laid out with a good space between them.

I already own a Bose SoundLink mini Bluetooth speaker II which I absolutely love with outstanding sound so I had high expectations for the quality of this and am pleased to say I wasn’t disappointed, after setting it up I first tried it on the main terrestrial television stations and found the enhanced dialogue feature of the speaker worked really well clarifying speech giving a good clear crisp vocal removing any muffled sound. I switched over to some gaming and this really showed the power and sound quality of the speaker, I was really impressed and engrossed in the game with the way it filled the room with the sound even more enhanced with the bass button.

I linked the speaker via Bluetooth to my phone to play some music, a very simple process of searching for it under the Bluetooth connection on the device and selecting, the sound again was superb and I was somewhat blown away by the power and quality produced, you can easily switch between the television connection and Bluetooth with the TV button on the remote control, with this speaker using multiple Bluetooth connections I was able to connect my tablet to the speaker as well making it easy to switch between the two connections.

Overall this really is a superb TV speaker, I love the quality and sound produced by Bose products with this more than impressing and blowing me away with the amazing sound it produces, I am not normally one to get overly enthusiastic about a product but this really delivers and I can’t fault it. I highly recommend following the link given in the manual to ensure you are getting the most out of the speaker with features and adjustments should you purchase it.

Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Speaker Ii - Special Edition Review

Crisp clear solid sound, this arrived in a bose branded box with the USB-C to USB charge lead, a large multi lingual safety instructions booklet along with a very basic user guide in the top section, the guide is adequate to set the speaker up and play music but does not give any details on features or functions. You can get a very comprehensive manual from the bose website linked on the back of the safety instructions manual and I would suggest this should be the first thing you do.

The top section lifted off to reveal the speaker with a plastic sleeve round it packed into a moulded insert, all very well packed and protected, I put the speaker on charge and went to their website to get the manual and have a good read through. I linked the speaker up to my Android phone all very straight forward and once connected was able to play music; I have a few non brand Bluetooth speakers and the difference with this is instant once you unpack it, the speaker is very heavy for its small size, the finishing and quality is flawless and you can instantly tell the difference in sound quality with a very solid and crisp with a deep base sound.

I tested out the voice assistant which worked a lot better than I expected being able to hear clearly and be heard when talking on the phone also using Google assistant and Siri on my iphone all working flawlessly, the volume is enough to fill a room but if you are looking for something to blast the house down then it won’t do that.

• Bose technology delivers big sound and deep bass
• Sleek, durable and lightweight design with a low profile
• Wireless with up to 12 hours of play time per charge
• Built-in microphone for speakerphone or access to your phone’s voice assistant
• Voice prompts for easy Bluetooth pairing, remembering up to devices at a time. Usb-c charging port and aux input

Overall this is a top quality Bluetooth speaker, it’s not all singing and dancing with a multitude of complicated features and functions but it fills its purpose perfectly giving fantastic sound quality, allowing you to talk on the phone and use your devices phone’s voice assistant, the battery lasts for a massive 12 hours of play time per charge so it gets top marks from me.
