Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Wireless Speaker - Leather (Old Version)

  • This product is almost worthless for me, but I do have to take some of the blame.After working fine for the first few days, now it will link with my laptop (MacBook Pro) only about 10% of the time, usually after 10-plus tries and usually only after I\'ve turned off my wi-fi network. Since I bought it primarily to stream Spotify, disconnecting from the home network isn\'t really a solution.There is no online support on Bose\'s website for this product.I see that there\'s a firmware update ... however -- and this is where I guess it\'s partially my fault -- I have either lost or thrown away the connecting cable, so I can\'t use that. Plus, I threw away the packaging after it seemed to work okay for the first week (more blame for me, I guess -- I should have my entire attic taken up with packaging materials in case something goes wrong).I\'m not positive, but it looks as the connection on the stereo cable is proprietary. Does anyone here know if a replacement cable is available somewhere? Right now, I\'m out $367 for a worthless (and frustrating) piece of equipment.Too bad, I was excited by the positive reviews. Now, I\'m about equally annoyed with Bose and with myself.UPDATE (A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER): A hard re-boot helped some and I called the Bose service line (and got through after only 10 minutes on hold). The guy told me that maybe this speaker isn\'t fully compatible with the MacBook Pro and I would need to call the vendor. He also told me that it might be that I can\'t use the speaker with a home wi-fi network because of interference. I mildly objected that (a) the MacBook Pro isn\'t exactly an obscure brand and (b) a lot of people use Spotify for their music, so ruling out home networks might not be the best marketing strategy for Bose.But on the positive side, he told me that I was wrong about the connecting cable being proprietary -- it\'s a standard mini-USB to USB cable. I had one of those around the house and I was able to install the firmware update without any problem.So since the hard re-boot and the firmware update, I\'m now usually able to link up to the speaker after only 3-5 tries. Two minutes, tops. We\'ll see if that lasts.I have accordingly upgraded my stars to \"2.\" The speaker does sound good when it connects and connecting is now only a mild pain in the neck. But then I\'ve also now spent roughly 2-3 hours of my life trying to get the thing to work the way it\'s supposed to. And talking to the vaunted Bose tech support team was more than a little annoying. They\'re selling a speaker that isn\'t compatible with Mac and it\'s not their problem?!
  • I have bought so many speakers for my office. I just hate plugging in my iPhone when I arrive at the office. I want the podcast I\'m listening to to just switch to my office speaker when I arrive. And that\'s exactly what happens. I do have to turn the speaker on first. At that point my iPhone assumes the speaker is my choice so long as I leave BlueTooth switched on in the iPhone general settings.I\'m seriously considering buying a second one for home now. I\'m becoming something of a fan of BOSE. I have a lot of their gear these days. If you\'re a teen looking for a seriously loud loud-speaker, perhaps this isn\'t for you. I don\'t blast music at the office. I listen to a little music and office acceptable levels. Mostly, I listen to Podcasts while on the way to work, and I typically want to finish them as I walk in the office. And I don\'t want to have to plug the phone into something. I just want the speaker to take over for my headphones. That\'s what this does.I wish it had a remote though. I can change the volume from my phone, but the screen goes into screen saver mode and it takes a few strokes to do it. Sometimes I\'d appreciate it if it had a mute on a remote so when a phone call comes in I could quickly cancel the sound. I can double-tap the iPhone and get the quick player controls and pause it. Not too bad.I\'d give this a solid 4/5 stars.
  • Its awesome. No doubt. Bass, mids highs.. I watch the iPad sometimes and now that it\'s paired via Bluetooth, just turn them both on and I\'m watching my favorite DS9 episode in serious style in about 10 seconds.Music was equally phenomenal, and I am pretty picky.For those travel moments, hotel room, poolside, etc. this cannot be beat. Especially if you go for the IFS package (I\'m effing Serious), get two.This speaker is heavy and high quality. Worth every penny, SIX STARSPs: getting the one with leather for 350, is nt worth it, get the nylon one for 300 and choose and leather color you want for 30$ then have both. They\'re both the same leather (I have both by accident), the one that comes with is a nice dark tan unavailable otherwise.Greatest travel speakers ever, I\'m waiting a few weeks and getting another for some REAL stereo babyFEB 27 UPDATE: iPAD BLUETOOTH WILL NOT LET YOU PAIR MORE THAN ONE AUDIO OUTPUT, YOU\'LL NEED A Y-SPLITTER AND TWO AUX CABLES FOR USING TWO OF THESE AT ONCE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT SILVER HARDLINE WAS A BETTER CONNECTION THAN BLUETOOTH ANYWAY.
  • The soundlink has much better (and louder) sound than my jambox, though it just barely counts as portable in my book. It\'s Bose, so there\'s no surprise that it\'s expensive for its class.I was very surprised to find that it shipped in its regular box (with all of the retail graphics), unsealed (not even a plastic wafer holding the flap closed). UPS turns out to be a reliable shipper, so there were no problems on that front.Two wishes:- I wish it could charge (even if more slowly) through a USB port. It\'s annoying to have yet another unique wall-wart plugged in all the time (or getting lost).- I wish it had a Play/Pause button. If my car can operate that control through bluetooth, surely the speakers can as well.
  • This speaker works well for me - I dont switch between devices much, using mainly my iphone. It is portable in as much as you can move from room to room, but you wouldnt want to be carting it around in your backpack - its fairly solid. The surface it is resting on makes a big difference to the sound quality as well - particularly the bass - if youre trying it out in store, make sure you try it out on different desks. Looks great, clean and kind of retro.
