how much does this unit cost.
as to surround sound, i have heard the real thing with the 7.1 or higher
configs of pure true surround sound and  the quality is outstanding.
granted  systems like that would cost a bunch of money to achieve the
quality that can be produced.

Been a while since I checked but I think the Bose Soundlink Air is around $350? 
Mary may be able to confirm or deny that.

I've had mine for 9 months now and I know prices have changed.

The battery is an extra option still as far as I know.

Firstly the Soundtouch comes in 3 different versions, the portable is something 
like the Soundlink Air in that you can stream to it using Airplay, this part 
looks easy enough to set up.

The other functionality of the Soundtouch could be a problem, you can use your 
Computer to stream your music library to the Soundtouch over your network 
however you need the Soundtouch Software to do this.

I've not had a look at the Windows PC or the Mac versions but when I last 
looked the IOS version wasn't too accessible? Perhaps this may have changed as 
its been a while since I've looked.

The Soundlink Air - in Australia at least - is still available.

I have an Onkyo surround which is 7.1, but I only have 5 speakers, but with 
my prologic 2 position, my 5.1 speakers sound like 7.1 in that position.  I 
tried DTS on a TV show one time, and it sounded like everyone was under

The Bose Soundlink Air can be used when you're not at home as you put it, you

You can use the Soundlink Air without a Wi-Fi Home network, that might be a 
better way of putting it, all you need is either a Wi-Fi connect on your device 
- say your iPhone - or you can use the Aux-In socket.

Anyway if you hold down the Wi-Fi/Reset button for 4 seconds the Soundlink 
Air turns on its own Wi-fi Network, you can then join this with your iPhone or 
whatever and Stream Away!.

Subject: Sample Of Bose Soundlink Air


As requested.

This sample was taken from Sky.Fm's Up Tempo Smooth Jazz Channel using the 
Sky.FM App for IOS, I then used AirPlay on the iPhone to stream the content 
from the iPhone to the Bose Soundlink Air and this is the result.


I've made the sample available in 2 formats as follows.
Flac 
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10565527/Soundlink%20Air%20Sample.flac
MP3 
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10565527/Soundlink%20Air%20Sample.mp3
If link doesn't work the first time then try again in a few minutes, file 
may still be uploading to Dropbox.
