Hi! Is there any difference on the sound quality and potency between these product and the Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Speaker III? Thanks

I went back and forth, listening at distance, close up, volume low, up high. The only difference I saw was "Bluetooth" which was attractive to me, and the price was a bit higher (which didn't matter) I wanted the Bose quality sound. I got it. Deep, rich sound. Beautiful. Answer: No.

No idea. Didn't have both. I'd guess at great sound but undependable. I had 2 with 100% failure rate after 3 years.

Yes there is. The Bose SoundDock Portable sounds way better!! Trust me, it's basier, louder, the sound quality is much better!! The Bose Soundlink Bluetooth Speaker lll, the sound is tintier, & u can't turn the volume as loud as the SoundDock Portable. Also u can buy the Bluetooth adapter for the Bose SoundDock Portable on Amazon.

Depends on the bose model you buy. The first model only linked with wifi the sound link 2 only links with Bluetooth!

Does the SoundLink Bluetooth speaker III support Wi-Fi or WiDi? No, the wireless connection for this speaker is Bluetooth only. https://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/digital_music_systems/bluetooth_speakers/soundlink_wireless_speaker/index.jsp

The phiaton seems to have answered everything you would want. Noise canceling - not as comfortable as Bose , it has BT and most importantly for when you cant use BT you can use a mini jack cable. The devices charges with USB, I have mixed feelings on if I would have preferred a battery I could change as needed. The Bose is just a bad design which I am very surprised at I bet we see V2 some day with a complete redesign I cant imagine they are happy with this. Keep in mind I am wanted to like this, I like Bose products but even the mini Bose speaker has blue tooth problems now. I dont know what is going on there.

Sorry, these have a design by BOSE to prevent replacement for a competitor replacement. It is proprietary design and usage.

In my opinion, the quality of these units is identical to that of the Bose. Besides, TIC originally invented these "in-ground" style outdoor speakers back in the 80's, so Bose's model is simply an overpriced copy of these.

Well, JBL is definitely not portable in the sense that it requires being plugged in. Bose is pretty much top of the line, so I'm not sure what you are looking to improve on over the Soundlink? Maybe a higher model Bose?

I have been happy with the bass from the Boston unit given the context of what it is. I have only listened to the soundlink mini from Bose, but not directly compared the two. The bose unit is good but in my opinion the Boston unit is a better value at $150. It does fill the room with sound well and should work great in a 12x 12 room

Hi Michelle, This product was sold months ago [????] HOWEVER, I do NOT recommend this product if you just want LOUD quality sound. I sold this and bought a 3 speaker TDK "BOOM BOX" [I don't remember if that's what it is called, but that's what it is]. I hook up my mp3 to it, and it sounds better. My Bose system was not loud enough for my taste.

It seems like the mini does not have as full a sound as the 3. It is still better than any other non Bose speaker you will buy though.

Buying The Bose system you asked about is a major mistake. There's much better performing systems that cost much less. It isn't a computer so it won't allow many options you may like. They want you to believe that the sound is better than anything else. You can duplicate the sound by increasing base on other systems. Bose won't allow you to tamper with the sound.

I can speak directly to a Soundlink 3 comparison. In my opinion, the TDK sounds comparable. Like you, I hate tinny sound, and can attest to the fact that the TDK is not tinny at all. It is rich and full at all volumes. Actually, it is shockingly rich and full given the size and the price. If you're torn beween the Bose and the TDK, I say buy the TDK with confidence.

TBH, the bass on the rumble is so much deeper and more intense than in the Soundlink 3. The sound in general is a lot louder on the Rumble. clarity goes as a point for the Soundlink 3 but you'll compromise volume and bass for that.of course you're still compromising portability with the rumble but i say it's a million times worth it!

Depends on how much your using it during the day. I have had bluetooth's that I have gotten more time but the sound on the Bose is better than any other bluetooth. Most of the time I get a full day without having to recharge the Bose.

No, this is a quality speaker. It doesn't produce any noise. But I will reiterate as I said in my review: if you can afford it, the Bose SoundLink Mini is a better-sounding speaker (for $50 more).
