1 thing on the SL Mini 2 I've heard that it lacks some bass. Now I can't conferm it 100% since I've only heard it on youtube vids, but just know it incase that matters. Yeah the voice guide thing is so epic! I've heard it and used it on the soundlink color.

The new Bose SoundlinkMini is supposed to have improved audio over the old one, I have the older model and quite like it, wonderful sound for something that small. The build quality is very nice to and I believe that build has carried over to the new model, tough aluminum frame. It would appear that 95% of Bluetooth speakers out there aren't really aimed at those who enjoy good sound so if good sound is your aim then the market narrows considerably when it comes to portable speakers and we find the size going up a little here to accommodate the laws of physics. The Bowers and Wilkins T7 I'm pleased to note has dropped in price and that's a real portable powerhouse, the party can proceed for around 19 hours before the battery runs out. The T7 shows off quality sound and you can certainly hear the difference between MP3 and Lossless file types if you're using an AptX device paired with this thing, truly amazing. If you're looking at units incorporating Hands Free speakerphones then there are plenty of those, the new Bose Soundlink Mini being one. The Soundlink Mini now has a TTS speech engine on board to guide you through the process of pairing it with your Phone or whatever, a bit of a gimmick in my opinion but its there so make use of it.O One Bluetooth speaker I never liked and thought was very much over rated was the Jawbone Jambox, you can certainly buy better than that.
